George Springer tells me & @thehazelmae.bsky.social he was planning to take his next AB yesterday but an x-ray revealed a fracture & team told him no

"I want to play, so if I can feel good to go I’m going to try. I’ll leave that up to Schneids & the staff but I’m going to try to push the envelope”

As Alejandro Kirk recovers, he’ll do “a lot of” his work at the team’s Fla. player development complex per mgr John Schneider.

Matchup vs. Ohtani now all about 2026 for Blue Jays As compelling as Shohei Ohtani's start against Toronto may be on Wednesday, the outing matters because of what it means for the 2026 Blue Jays as they try to turn around their season.

if the 2026 Blue Jays are going to embody the kind of resilience that put them on the Dodgers’ level last year, now would be a great time to access it. www.sportsnet.ca/mlb/article/...
