ImpactSpringer was activated from the injured list Monday after missing just over two weeks with a knee injury, and he exited Tuesday's contest after appearing to be in some discomfort while making a hard stop when rounding second base. According to Hazel Mae of Sportsnet, the Blue Jays labeled his removal a precaution, so he could be back in the lineup Wednesday. Springer went 0-for-4 with a pair of strikeouts before his exit, and Jarrod Dyson replaced him in center field.

Gregory Polanco - Joins Toronto on MiLB dealPolanco signed a minor-league contract with the Blue Jays on Tuesday, Keegan Matheson of MLB.com reports.
ImpactPolanco was let go by the Pirates over the weekend and didn't take long to latch on with a new team. The 29-year-old struggled in 107 games this season, hitting .208/.283/.354 with 11 home runs, 36 RBI, 38 runs and 14 stolen bases, and he's failed to provide much production since posting an .839 OPS with 23 homers and 81 RBI in 2018. The Blue Jays have plenty of outfield depth, so Polanco is unlikely to see much in terms of big-league opportunities -- if he even makes it to the majors -- barring multiple injuries among the likes of Teoscar Hernandez, George Springer, Corey Dickerson, Randal Grichuk and Lourdes Gurriel.
