Toronto Blue Jays outfielder George Springer is on the road to recovery after being hit by a pitch in the ALCS Game 5. Manager John Schneider confirmed that Springer, who sustained a contusion on his right knee, underwent a CT scan that showed no serious damage. Despite the injury, Springer is feeling improved and is undergoing treatment to aid his recovery process. The team is optimistic that he will be fit to play in the crucial Game 6 against the Seattle Mariners.
Following the incident, Springer received immediate attention from the team’s medical staff and was substituted for precautionary reasons. Schneider mentioned that Springer is tough and resilient, emphasizing that the main concern is ensuring his comfort while swinging and running. The team is closely monitoring his progress and remains hopeful that he will be ready for Game 6.
Meanwhile, shortstop Bo Bichette, who has been dealing with an injury, is gradually making strides in his recovery. Bichette has not run the bases since his setback before the ALCS but has shown improvement in his swing. The Blue Jays are hopeful that Bichette’s progress will continue positively, especially considering his significant contributions during the regular season.
With Seattle leading the series 3-2, the Blue Jays are eager to bounce back and secure a win on home turf in Game 6 after dropping both previous games in Toronto.
