ARLINGTON, Texas -- George Springer is now dealing with another issue while waiting to make his debut with the Toronto Blue Jays, after starting the season on the injured list because of a strained left oblique muscle.
Springer was on track to play Thursday for the Blue Jays in their first home game, but he felt tightness in his right quad while running the bases.
Manager Charlie Montoyo said before Wednesday's series finale at Texas that Springer ran the bases after taking live batting practice before Tuesday's game. Montoyo said there were no issues with the oblique.
