Santiago Espinal - Three hits, stolen base in win Espinal went 3-for-4 with an RBI, two runs scored and a steal in Wednesday's 8-0 win over the White Sox.

Impact Espinal made an impact in his first game since suffering a wrist contusion on April 22, hitting three singles while stealing his first bag of the season. The 28-year-old infielder had gotten off to a sluggish start to the season, going just 4-for-35 before the injury. Following the three-hit performance, Espinal is slashing .179/.238/.256 with one homer, five RBI and five runs scored through 42 plate appearances. He'll likely continue filling a utility role off the bench for Toronto.

Mitch White - Cleared for rehab assignment White (elbow) will begin a rehab assignment with Low-A Dunedin on Wednesday, Keegan Matheson of MLB.com reports.

Impact White missed all of spring training initially with a shoulder injury and then with an elbow issue, so his rehab assignment figures to be a lengthy one. He is out of options, so the righty should join the major-league roster once deemed ready, perhaps in a long relief role.

Springer leaves game after being hit on right hand by pitch

Blue Jays star George Springer left a game against the Chicago White Sox in the fourth inning

APRIL 26, 2023 • ASSOCIATED PRESS

George Springer - X-rays return negative Springer was diagnosed with a right hand contusion with X-rays returning negative after leaving Wednesday's game against the White Sox, Mike Wilner of the Toronto Star reports.

Impact Springer was hit in the hand by a Michael Kopech offering in the third inning and then played an inning of defense, but he was lifted for a pinch hitter. The outfielder should be considered day-to-day, but with Thursday being an off day for Toronto there's a chance Springer won't miss any additional game time.

Impact Springer was able to take his base after being plunked by a Michael Kopech offering in the third inning and then played right field in the top of the fourth, but he was lifted for a pinch hitter the next time his turn in the lineup came up. He'll presumably be headed for X-rays as the Blue Jays look to see if he sustained any fractures to the hand.
