"George Springer was placed on the 15-day IL after fracturing his big left toe on a foul ball on April 11 against the Minnesota Twins. Up until that point, Springer had a relatively quiet start to the season with a slash line of .185/.290/.370 and an OPS of .661."
"In 12 appearances, Jiménez slid into the DH role, putting up a slash line of .290/.343/.290 and an OPS of .633. However, the Blue Jays needed more power, which Jiménez was unable to provide."
"Springer will be available off the bench for the Blue Jays' series finale against the Red Sox before returning to the starting lineup, presumably this weekend against the Minnesota Twins."
George Springer has been activated from the 15-day injured list after recovering from a fractured toe. His return is seen as a potential spark for the struggling Blue Jays, who have faced numerous injuries. Eloy Jiménez has been designated for assignment to make room for Springer. Jiménez performed decently in his appearances but lacked the power the team needed. Springer is expected to contribute off the bench initially and return to the starting lineup soon, as the team aims to regain its offensive strength.
