Even if he’s relegated to DH duties and isn’t fully healthy, the Blue Jays need George Springer back in their lineup as soon as possible.
Earlier in the season I advocated for waiting as long as it took to get Springer back to 100% before returning to the active roster. That was a different time in the 2021 calendar though, and the situation is completely different these days.
