Springer Likely To Return for Game 6

George Springer left Game 3 at Dodger Stadium after injuring his right side while swinging and underwent an MRI that diagnosed right‑side/oblique discomfort; Toronto kept him on its World Series roster. Springer missed Games 4 and 5 as he recovered. Blue Jays manager John Schneider said Springer has “checked every box physically,” has been hitting in the cage and running, and was close to playing Game 5, and is on track and likely to return to the starting lineup for Game 6 in Toronto. Toronto leads the World Series 3–2, and Springer's probable return is viewed as a significant power boost against Dodgers starters such as Yoshinobu Yamamoto. Springer has four postseason homers and a .884 OPS and has been a key October performer, including a decisive three‑run ALCS shot that helped send Toronto to its first World Series since 1993.
