The Toronto Blue Jays’ injuries haven't stopped, and the hope and expectation is that at some point, a lot of this will look different than what it currently does.
As things stand at the moment, maybe the Blue Jays have been one of the worst teams in Major League Baseball, though it's almost impossible to get upset about it considering the injuries they've dealt with on both sides of the ball.
At 10-13, Toronto hasn't put itself in a horrible spot, but it will need to get healthy. According to the words from George Springer, the star outfielder who is currently sidelined with a toe injury, it sounds like he could be back rather soon.
"I mean, I don’t really put expectations on it. I’ve just expected it to hurt," Springer said on Tuesday. "I’m not going into it thinking it’s going to feel good, and then when it hurts, I just get angry about it. It’s a broken bone. So, you know, not much I could do besides just say, ‘Screw it, is what it is.’"
Regarding when Springer could be back, it was reported that the veteran might be targeting a Friday return, which would be a home game in the first contest of a three-game set against the Cleveland Guardians.
“While a Friday return remains the optimistic target, Springer is finding ways to navigate the mental frustration of being sidelined by staying as active as possible within the clubhouse,” Courtney Hollmon of MLB.com wrote.
Springer, despite being older in his career now, is still a very good player and somebody Toronto needs back as soon as possible.
