new.cbssports.comHere’s the latest on George Springer and the Toronto Blue Jays:
- Springer has been dealing with a left big toe injury. The team placed him on the 10-day injured list in mid-April 2026, with updates suggesting he was progressing but without a precise return date as of that reporting. This is the most current injury situation affecting his availability for recent games. [Source]
- Earlier in the season, Springer was also in the concussion discussion in late July 2025 and later returned to play, with reports noting he was cleared to resume actions in Triple-A Buffalo before rejoining the MLB club. While not the 2026 season, this context shows his resilience and past recovery trajectory. [Source]
- In Spring Training and the 2026 lead-up, reports indicated Springer was anticipated to appear in Grapefruit League games in late February 2026, signaling a positive path toward game readiness for the 2026 season. [Source]
- For ongoing status, there have been occasional updates suggesting his toe injury was improving and that he was moving around more each day, though return timing remained uncertain as of the latest mentions. [Source]
Illustration: If you’re tracking injuries, a simple timeline helps:
- Preseason: Healthy and preparing for spring games (Feb 2026 reports)[3]
- Early season: Toe fracture leads to IL stint (April 2026)[1]
- Return window: Estimates vary; teams usually target minimal IL days for toes, with possible rehab assignment first (April 2026 updates)[1]
