Fans can breathe a sigh of relief for now as Springer early diagnosis is simply lower back spasms and early reports don't expect an MRI will be needed.
Springer crashed into the right-field fence in the eighth inning Saturday in an unsuccessful attempt to catch Jesse Winker's drive, a tying, two-run triple in a game the Mets went on to win 3-2. - Associated Press
Ten games into their season and the Blue Jays have already added a few names on the injured list. Springer has had a hot start to the season hitting .379 with one home-run and five RBIs in his first nine games.

The Blue Jays continue their schedule on the road this week with a four game matchup against the Boston Red Sox.
