Former Twin seeing increased role in World Series due to George Springer's injury

During Game 3 of this year's World Series on Monday, Blue Jays designated hitter George Springer took a swing in the seventh inning that left him grabbing his right side in pain. After calling Toronto's athletic trainer, Springer exited the game. Then former Twin Ty France entered to pinch-hit against Dodgers pitcher Justin Wrobleski.
