George Springer's health The second-year outfielder is arguably the Astros' emotional leader, and you can tell how much they've missed him since he went down with a fractured wrist. Getting Springer back healthy and contributing will go a long way toward their second-half chances.
Astros outfielder George Springer had his two-week exam on his fractured right wrist Thursday, and he remains optimistic that he’ll be ready to resume baseball activities after his next exam in four weeks.
“As far as I know I’m doing good from a progression standpoint,” he said.
Springer suffered the injury on July 1 when he was drilled on the wrist by the Royals’ Edinson Volquez.
