GEORGE SPRINGER NEWS

Present with big club in Miami Springer (quadriceps) rejoined the Blue Jays in Miami ahead of the team's two-game set with the Marlins, but it's unclear if he'll be activated from the 10-day injured list ahead o...

Impact Springer isn't believed to have suffered any setbacks with his strained right quadriceps coming out of his five-game rehab assignment at Triple-A Buffalo, which concluded Sunday. He went 3-for-17 with a double in those contests, and perhaps most significantly, he was able to play seven innings in center field in his final appearance. Since the Blue Jays won't have a designated hitter available in Miami, the team could delay Springer's activation if he's not scheduled to start Tuesday, but expect him to formally rejoin the 26-man roster no later than Wednesday.

Rejoins Triple-A lineup Springer (quadriceps) made his fifth rehab appearance at Triple-A Buffalo on Sunday, starting in center field while going 1-for-3 with two runs.

Impact Springer exited his fourth rehab game Saturday earlier than expected, but that was a result of poor weather in Rochester rather than the result of any setback with his strained right quad, according to Ben Nicholson-Smith of Sportsnet.ca. He returned to the lineup Sunday to play seven innings in the outfield, and general manager Ross Atkins indicated that the Blue Jays will soon have to decide whether Springer is fit to return from the 10-day injured list this week. Though Springer has served as a leadoff man in each of his four games with Toronto this season, manager Charlie Montoyo hinted Sunday that the 31-year-old will most likely bat fifth or sixth in the lineup initially when he comes off the IL, according to Kaitlyn McGrath of The Athletic.

Rehab assignment on tap Springer (quadriceps) will begin a rehab assignment with Triple-A Buffalo on Monday, Rob Longley of the Toronto Sun reports.

Impact Springer has been sidelined since early May due to a right quadriceps strain, but he'll play five innings in the field during Tuesday's Triple-A contest. The Blue Jays will likely exercise caution with the 30-year-old since he went back to the injured list shortly after he made his season debut in late April, and manager Charlie Montoyo said Monday that the team wants Springer to be ready to play center field once he's activated.
