Blue Jays: George Springer returns
Digest more
The Toronto Blue Jays could use outfielder George Springer’s bat in the lineup after losing their first two games with the Los Angeles Dodgers.
With the expanded rosters in mind, Toronto choosing to hold onto a guy like Myles Straw who is out of options and sending down Loperfido instead made sense. Straw can provide value as a pinch runner and defensive replacement, and could've easily been claimed off waivers. This move ensures the Jays will contain their depth, which is crucial.
