Blue Jays' George Springer: Moves to IL
The Blue Jays placed Springer (toe) on the 10-day injured list Sunday.
Springer fractured his left big toe Saturday when he fouled a ball off his foot, and though the nature of the injury would imply a longer absence, manager John Schneider indicated that the four-time All-Star could return in close to the minimum amount of time, per Keegan Matheson of MLB.com. The Blue Jays called up Eloy Jimenez from Triple-A Buffalo to take Springer's spot on the roster, and he'll enter the lineup at designated hitter Sunday. Along with Jimenez, Toronto could opt to rotate a number of players through the DH spot while Springer is shelved, although the team's depth is already being tested with Addison Barger (ankles) and Alejandro Kirk (thumb) also sidelined.
