George Springer Having MRI Exam on his Side
Toronto Blue Jays designated hitter George Springer (side) went for an MRI exam because of "right-side discomfort" that knocked him from Game 3 of the World Series on Monday night against the Los Angeles Dodgers, according to J.P. Hoornstra of Newsweek Sports. "We'll see how he is tomorrow," manager John Schneider said. Springer called for a trainer following a swing in the top of the seventh inning and left the contest shortly after to be evaluated. Ty France replaced him as a pinch-hitter, who was later replaced by Davis Schneider in the 18-inning marathon. It's unclear if Springer will be able to play in Game 4 of the World Series on Tuesday night in L.A., but if he's dealing with an oblique injury, there's a good chance he won't be able to play for the rest of the series. Springer has been a major contributor all year for Toronto, so losing their leadoff hitter for the rest of the series would be a big blow. He went 0-for-3 with two K's on Monday night before leaving, and he's gone 14-for-57 (.246) with four homers, six doubles, nine RBI, and 13 runs in 14 playoff games this October.
