Springer finally healthy and joins Blue Jays’ potent lineup
MIAMI (AP) — Outfielder George Springer was in the Toronto Blue Jays’ lineup Tuesday night for only his fifth game this year, and this time he hopes to stay awhile. “That’s a good problem to have — to hit George fifth because the first four guys are doing so good,” Montoyo said. The 2017 World Series MVP for Houston, Springer signed a Blue Jays-record $150 million, six-year contract with them last offseason. He said batting fifth is fine with him, but missing 66 of Toronto’s first 70 games was “brutal.““I want to play,” Springer said. And that’s what I’m going to do.”___Follow Steven Wine on Twitter: https://twitter.com/Steve_WineLoading... Loading... Loading... Loading... Loading...
