HOUSTON -- On Friday, six weeks and two days after his right wrist was fractured when he was hit by a pitch, outfielder George Springer was cleared by doctors to resume baseball activities.
Springer, who was hitting .264 with 13 homers when he went on the disabled list on July 2, said there is no timetable for a rehab assignment or a possible return to the Astros' outfield, but the news was nonetheless welcome.
"I didn't really know what to do, to be honest with you," Springer said of his reaction when he was cleared.
