George Springer has been hot for the Toronto Blue Jays recently.
Blue Jays' John Schneider Provides George Springer Update After Orioles Game originally appeared on Athlon Sports.
The Toronto Blue Jays (63-44) have the best record in the AL for many reasons, but veteran outfielder George Springer is one of the main ones. The 35-year-old is slashing .291/.383/.506 with 18 homers and 57 RBI over 101 games this season. He leads the team in homers after hitting 19 in 145 contests last year.
Springer also came into Monday's matchup with the Baltimore Orioles ranked 11th in baseball with an .893 OPS and a six-game hitting streak. However, the 6-foot-1-inch, 220-pounder not only lost that streak on Monday, but he was involved in an unfortunate incident.
Springer left the contest after getting hit in the head by a pitch in the ninth inning. Blue Jays manager John Schneider provided an update about the four-time All-Star postgame, via MLB.com's Keegan Matheson.
“It kind of got him in his shoulder, then helmet, which…thankfully, he was able to turn a little bit, too," he said. "I just had a chance to talk with him. He’s with the doc right now getting evaluated.”
Toronto lost the contest 11-4 and is now on a two-game losing streak after winning its previous four.
