Houston Astros star George Springer left Friday night's game against the Boston Red Sox with an apparent left leg injury, according to KPRC2's Adam Wexler.
Springer came up limping after making a sliding effort to try to catch a ball in the eighth inning. Per Wexler, the outfielder went to the clubhouse after exiting the game. He was replaced in left by Tony Kemp.
This latest injury comes as he was returning from lower back stiffness. Entering Friday night, he had not played since May 19.
Springer has gotten off to a blistering start in 2019.
