Prior to this afternoon's game, Springer did some pre game work and seemed to not be in pain which is a huge positive.
Pre-game #BlueJays notes from Citi Field:
• George Springer did some pre-game work and it looked like he was in good spirits
• It's cool and windy, but better than yesterday
• Made eye contact with Mrs. Met in the hallway and got nervous

Hopefully Springer will only end up being day to day and the Blue Jays will be able to get him back in the lineup sometime next week since he has been a massive part of their success so far this season.
The Blue Jays continue to be unlucky this season when it comes to injuries since it seems that every week another player has been going down.
