Blue Jays RF Springer scratched vs Red Sox with illness

Toronto Blue Jays right fielder George Springer was a late scratch from the lineup against the Boston Red Sox because of illness

MAY 1, 2023 • ASSOCIATED PRESS

George Springer - Scratched due to illness Springer was scratched from Monday's lineup against the Red Sox with a viral illness.

Impact Bichette was originally scheduled to hit leadoff and play right field, but the illness will keep the outfielder out for at least one game. Cavan Biggio gets the start in Springer's absence and will hit eighth.

Mitch White - Making rehab start Wednesday White (elbow) will make a rehab start Wednesday for Triple-A Buffalo, Keegan Matheson of MLB.com reports.

Impact White will make his second rehab appearance after throwing 3.1 shutout innings for Low-A Dunedin last Wednesday. The right-hander is being built up as a starter as he recovers from elbow inflammation that has sidelined him for the entirety of the 2023 campaign. White has a chance to make starts for Toronto in the middle of May, but he also could report back to Triple-A when heathy as the Blue Jays' rotation looks full at the moment.

Alejandro Kirk - Gets Monday off Kirk is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Red Sox.

Impact Even though he produced five hits over his two starts this past weekend against the Mariners, Kirk will end up sitting for the second time in three days. Kirk still appears to be the Blue Jays' nominal No. 1 catcher, but Toronto remains incentivized to keep backup Danny Jansen involved due to Jansen's superior work on the defensive end.

Yimi García - Can't secure save Garcia blew the save during Sunday's 10-8 loss to the Mariners in extras, allowing one run on one hit and one walk while striking out two over 1.1 innings.

Impact Garcia replaced Anthony Bass in a one-run game with two on and two out in the eighth. He got out of the inning by striking out Taylor Trammell, who hit a grand slam earlier in the contest, and he came out for the ninth with Jordan Romano and Erik Swanson presumably unavailable after pitching Friday and Saturday. Garcia walked the leadoff hitter in the ninth and surrendered a two-out, game-tying RBI single to J.P. Crawford before getting out of the frame. It was Garcia's second blown save in as many chances, and he likely won't get too many more high-leverage outings anytime soon.

Chris Bassitt - Seven strikeouts in no-decision Bassitt did not factor into the decision Sunday, allowing four runs on two hits and four walks over five innings in a 10-8 loss against the Mariners. He struck out seven.

Impact After back-to-back strikeouts to start the game, Bassitt walked two and hit a batter before surrendering a grand slam to Taylor Trammell. The right-hander was able to settle down after getting through the first and was in line for the fine before being replaced after four straight scoreless frames. Sunday's performance marked just the second time Bassitt failed to get through six innings and snapped a run of four straight outings with two or fewer earned runs. Bassitt's next start is tentatively scheduled versus the Pirates, who are tied for fourth in the MLB in runs per game (5.5).
