WASHINGTON — Toronto Blue Jays outfielder George Springer has been placed on the 10-day injured list with a left knee sprain.
The move, announced Tuesday before the Blue Jays started a two-game series with the Washington Nationals, is retroactive to Sunday.
Blue Jays manager Charlie Montoyo said there is no timetable for Springer's return.
Springer left Saturday night's game at Seattle in the seventh inning with a sprained left ankle.
While dealing with the injured ankle, Springer said he felt discomfort in the knee, and an MRI revealed the sprain.
The injury comes at an unfortunate time for the Blue Jays, who entered Tuesday's contest four games out of an American League wild-card spot.
