LOS ANGELES — Toronto Blue Jays designated hitter George Springer exited Sport 3 of the World Sequence with a proper facet harm, leaving his standing for Sport 4 unsure.
Springer injured himself on a swing within the seventh inning Monday night time. He was clearly in ache as he grabbed the suitable facet of his physique instantly after fouling off a 95 mph fastball from Dodgers reliever Justin Wrobleski. Springer referred to as for a Blue Jays athletic coach, and there was virtually no dialogue of him staying within the sport.
“George, it’s some proper facet discomfort,” Blue Jays supervisor John Schneider mentioned after Toronto’s 6-5 loss in 18 innings that put L.A. up 2-1 within the Sequence. “He already went for a MRI. We’ll see the way it comes again and see how he walks up [Tuesday], however it sucks.”
Ty France changed Springer with an 0-1 rely and finally struck out in an eight-pitch at-bat towards Wrobleski. Springer, France and Davis Schneider mixed to go 2-for-9 with three strikeouts out of the leadoff spot.
“He’s clearly an enormous a part of our lineup,” Schneider mentioned of Springer. “Glad I received him out after I did, and hopefully it didn’t make something worse, however we’ll see how he’s [Tuesday].”
Springer was 0-for-3 with two strikeouts in Sport 3 at Dodger Stadium, the place he was routinely booed earlier than every at-bat — a callback to his days with the Houston Astros and their sign-stealing scandal of 2017 and 2018. Springer was the 2017 World Sequence MVP when the Astros beat the Dodgers in a seven-game World Sequence.
Springer had three hits through the first two video games of the World Sequence in Toronto.
