Springer went 1-for-4 with a run scored and a stolen base in Monday's win over the Red Sox.

Blue Jays' George Springer: Checking back in lineup Monday
Rotowire
Springer (shoulder) will start at designated hitter and bat cleanup in Monday's game against the Red Sox.
Springer will make his return to the starting nine after a tight left shoulder kept him on the bench for the Blue Jays' final two games of their weekend series in Philadelphia. The 36-year-old was able to make an appearance as a pinch runner in Saturday's 7-5 win in 11 innings, and the shoulder issue apparently is no longer inhibiting him at the plate either.
