The Injury bug just won't leave the Toronto Blue Jays alone.
Toronto Blue Jays designated hitter George Springer was removed from Saturday's game against the Minnesota Twins with a left big toe fracture, the team announced.
UPDATE: DH George Springer was removed from today's game with a left big toe fracture.
Springer appeared to suffer the injury when he fouled a ball off his foot in the third inning.
It was Springer's second plate appearance of the game, and he was pinch-hit for by Myles Straw in his next turn up.
The news continues what has been a troubling start for the Blue Jays on the injury front.
Toronto is already without two of its biggest bats, as both Alejandro Kirk and Addison Barger are already on the injured list.
Springer, the lead-off hitter for the Blue Jays, entered Saturday's game slashing .189/.283/.377 with two home runs and four RBIs this season.
The 36-year-old slugger is coming off a resurgent 2025 season that saw him earn a Silver Slugger award.
He was a big part of Toronto’s run to the 2025 World Series, hitting .309 with 32 homers and 89 RBIs in the regular season and the decisive homer in Game 7 of the ALCS against Seattle.
The Blue Jays are now dealing with key injuries to both its pitching staff and lineup.
Trey Yesavage, Shane Bieber and Jose Berrios are among the Jays starters who are still working their way back from injuries.
