Marred by injuries for a good chunk of the season, Blue Jays outfielder George Springer appears to be healthy again as the club contends for a postseason position this year. The AL Wild Card contest is starting to come down to the wire, as the New York Yankees and Boston Red Sox are currently tied within the Wild Card standings while the Blue Jays sit 2.0 games back, followed closely by the Seattle Mariners who sit 3.0 games back.
After spending the middle portion of August on the IL with a knee injury, Springer returned on August 30th and has been playing as the club’s designated hitter, unable to play center field given his mobility issues with the injured knee.
