Blue Jays: George Springer left Game 3 of World Series with right side discomfort

"George Springer's health is up in the air. In Game 3 of the World Series against the Toronto Blue Jays and Los Angeles Dodgers, Springer took a mighty hack in the top of the seventh. Immediately after, he held his right side of his back, and was pulled almost immediately. The game went on and became one of the second-longest World Series games in history, with the Dodgers eventually walking off the Jays."

"However, the Jays received some news after the game, as numerous sources reported that Springer left with right side discomfort and is out day-to-day. Losing Springer for any period of time will be a big blow for the Blue Jays. This postseason, the designated hitter is slashing .246/.323/.561 with four home runs in 65 plate appearances and has been a staple at the top of the Blue Jays lineup."

George Springer exited Game 3 of the World Series after taking a big swing and immediately grabbing the right side of his back, and he is now listed day-to-day with right-side discomfort. His absence would remove a top-of-the-order power bat; Springer has slashed .246/.323/.561 with four home runs in 65 plate appearances this postseason. If he cannot play in Game 4, Bo Bichette would likely move to designated hitter and the leadoff spot would be undecided. Removing Springer from the roster would allow the Blue Jays to add a pitcher, which may be necessary after an 18-inning game that exhausted the bullpen.
