Zack Wheeler’s Comeback Looms as Brent Rooker’s Injury Raises New Questions for MLB Teams
George Springer (toe)
Springer suffered a fractured left big toe after fouling a ball off his foot on Saturday against the Twins. Manager John Schneider said Sunday that Springer could just miss the minimum time as he recovers. So, look for him to return before the end of the month. Meanwhile, the team recalled Eloy Jiménez from Triple-A Buffalo to take Springer’s spot on the active roster. Jiménez started at designated hitter, batting seventh against Minnesota on Sunday. The 29-year-old slugger comes with some pedigree as a former top prospect, but has struggled to stay healthy over the course of his career, now seven years removed from his 31-homer rookie campaign.
