## Resource

George Springer is making a comeback to the outfield for the Toronto Blue Jays this Friday after a 13-game absence due to a broken big toe. At 36, he’s been slugging just .221 with 8 homers this season — far from his MVP-caliber year last year — but his return offers a crucial boost as Toronto fights to climb from last place. Facing a left-handed White Sox pitcher, Springer’s got a favorable matchup, and his health will determine whether he’s back in center field full-time or splitting duties with the DH role.
