Should be ready for Tuesday Manager Charlie Montoyo stated Springer's absence from Monday's lineup against the Athletics was a scheduled rest day, Arden Zwelling of Sportsnet.ca reports.
Impact Springer was pulled from Sunday's matchup due to leg fatigue, but it had nothing to do with being held out of Monday's game. He should be back in the starting nine for the second contest of the series Tuesday.

Not in Monday's lineup Springer (leg) will sit Monday against the Athletics.
Impact Springer was pulled from Sunday's game against Atlanta with what was reported to be general leg fatigue, as he'd started four games in five days after returning from a quadriceps strain that cost him most of April. It's unclear whether or not that diagnosis has changed or if he's simply been given a day to rest. Lourdes Gurriel will rest his legs as the designated hitter Monday.

Exit attributed to fatigue Toronto manager Charlie Montoyo said after Sunday's 7-2 win over Atlanta that Springer was removed in the sixth inning due to general fatigue, Arden Zwelling of Sportsnet.ca report...
Impact Montoyo went on to say that Springer -- who went 0-for-3 with two strikeouts before departing -- was feeling a little exhausted after playing three days in a row following his reinstatement from the injured list, so the Blue Jays elected to err on the side of caution by pulling him from the contest early. Fortunately, Springer doesn't seem to be dealing with any sort of setback related to the left oblique strain or the right quadriceps strain that sidelined him for most of the first month of the season. Springer appears likely to rejoin the starting nine for Monday's series opener in Oakland, but fantasy managers will still want to revisit his status before locking him into weekly lineups.

Sunday start ends early Springer was lifted in the sixth inning of Sunday's game against Atlanta in the sixth inning for a pinch hitter and may be nursing an injury, Keegan Matheson of MLB.com reports.
Impact While Toronto has yet to announce that Springer's early removal was the result of an injury, Matheson notes that the 31-year-old didn't look fully comfortable swinging during his three at-bats on the afternoon, and he also slipped while coming out of the batter's box and never got up to full speed while running out a second-inning groundout. Toronto should provide an update on Springer after the game concludes, but for now, his status is uncertain heading into the Blue Jays' upcoming seven-game week.

Impact Toronto's high-priced offseason pickup will finally get the chance to debut after he spent the past four-plus weeks recovering from a Grade 2 left oblique and a right quadriceps strain. Though the Blue Jays appear confident in his health, Springer is still expected to be eased into the mix as a DH initially before gradually settling into a full-time role in the outfield. His return should provide a big boost to a Toronto squad that has gotten a collective .653 OPS from its leadoff hitters this season.
