Fantasy Impact

Charlie Montoyo said that Springer isn't coming back to be a DH, and will be activated only when he's ready to play the outfield. It's reportedly going to be a day-to-day thing, but given how much time Springer has missed, expect him to need a minimum of five rehab games or so to get his timing back. Absent a setback, he'll likely rejoin the Blue Jays sometime next week.

Blue Jays OF George Springer (quad) is “improving” but there is no timetable for a minor league rehab assignment.

Fantasy Impact

Springer remains limited to jogging and there is currently no timeline for his return. He’s played in only four games this season. The Blue Jays will continue to be cautious with their star outfielder and won't rush him back into action. Springer is considered day-to-day.

George Springer has voiced eagerness to return, but in hopes of avoiding added pressure general manager Ross Atkins has opted to not have a timeline for the outfielder's return.

Fantasy Impact

Springer has had trouble recovering from the injury he suffered in spring training, but when he does return fantasy owners should expect immediate value. Springer would slot right at the top of a batting lineup filled with impressive bats. Owners should try to remain patient with Springer for as long as they can.

Fantasy Impact
