HOUSTON -- Though he's yet to swing a regular bat, Astros outfielder George Springer is pleased with the rehabilitation of his right wrist fracture and hopes to begin hitting balls soon.
In addition to shagging balls, lifting weights and staying in shape, Springer has swung a fungo bat in the cages for the last few days, though they were dry swings that didn't involve making contact with balls.
"It feels good, I like the progression of my hands so far," Springer said of the swings. "We'll obviously take it one day at a time and whatever happens, happens.
