George Springer Back in Leadoff Spot for Game 6 of World Series
Toronto Blue Jays designated hitter George Springer (side) is back at DH and as the leadoff hitter on Friday night for Game 6 of the World Series against Los Angeles Dodgers right-hander Yoshinobu Yamamoto. Springer injured his right side on a swing late in the loss on Monday night in Game 3 of the Fall Classic, and he was held out of the team's wins in both Game 4 and 5. With an off day on Thursday, Springer is feeling better and will return as the club's leadoff hitter as they seek their first World Series title in over 30 years on Halloween. It's definitely a boost to Toronto's lineup, as the veteran outfielder/DH has four homers and an .884 OPS through 14 postseason games this October. Yamamoto has been one of the toughest pitchers to hit in this year's playoffs, although Springer did go 1-for-3 against him with a double and a run scored in Game 2 of this series last Saturday.
