George Springer leaves Blue Jays game after being hit by pitch again on left
foot
MINNEAPOLIS (AP) --- Toronto Blue Jays designated hitter George Springer left
Saturday's game against Minnesota in the third inning after being hit by a
pitch on the left foot.
This comes four days after the the four-time All-Star came off the 10-day
injured after fouling off a pitch and breaking his left big toe on April 11 in
another game against the Twins.
Springer was hit by an 88 mph slider from Connor Prielipp on Saturday and
immediately went to the ground in pain. After being tended to by a couple of
trainers for a few minutes, Springer gingerly walked off the field and was
replaced by Jess Snchez.
In his sixth season with Toronto, the 36-year-old Springer is hitting .212 with
two home runs and seven RBIs in 66 at-bats across 18 games.
The MVP of the 2017 World Series with Houston, Springer is in the final season
of a $150 million, six-year deal with the Blue Jays.
