"Designated hitter George Springer has returned to the Blue Jays lineup as Toronto seeks to clinch the World Series title, while the Los Angeles Dodgers are tinkering with their order as they seek to extend the series to Game 7. Springer will be the Blue Jays' leadoff hitter for Friday's Game 6 after missing the past two games when he strained muscles on his right side while taking a swing in Game 3."
"Springer, 36, has hit the second-most leadoff homers in major league history with 63, trailing only Hall of Famer Rickey Henderson's 81. He hit a three-run homer in Game 7 of the American League Championship Series against the Seattle Mariners on Oct. 20, playing a major role in sending the Blue Jays to their first World Series title since 1993."
George Springer returns to the Blue Jays lineup and will lead off Game 6 after missing two games with a right-side muscle strain suffered while swinging in Game 3. The Dodgers moved Mookie Betts in the order and will play Miguel Rojas at second base while searching for an offensive spark after being limited to three runs and 10 hits over two games. Springer, 36, ranks second all-time in leadoff homers with 63 and delivered a pivotal three-run homer in the ALCS to help send Toronto to its first World Series since 1993. The Blue Jays lead the series 3-2; a Dodgers win would force a Game 7.
