Toronto Blue Jays designated hitter George Springer left Saturday’s game against the Minnesota Twins in the third inning when he was hit on the left foot by a pitch from Connor Prielipp.
Springer went down in pain after he was hit by an 88.2 mph slider and was replaced by pinch runner Jesus Sanchez.
Springer, who led off the game with a line drive out to center field, had just returned this week from the injured list after he fractured his left big toe on a foul ball April 11.
In 18 games this season, Springer is batting .212 with two home runs and seven RBIs. In 1,462 career games, he is a .266 hitter with 295 home runs and 803 RBIs over 13 seasons for the Houston Astros (2014-20) and Blue Jays.
