Toronto Blue Jays designated hitter George Springer was taken out of Saturday’s game against the Minnesota Twins early after sustaining a left big two fracture, per the team.

The team announced Springer’s diagnosis shortly after the veteran DH was removed from the Blue Jays’ lineup in the sixth inning. He was replaced by pinch hitter Myles Straw.

Toronto did not provide any additional information about the injury, including a potential timeline. It is unclear how Springer sustained the injury.

UPDATE: DH George Springer was removed from today's game with a left big toe fracture.

Prior to the injury, Springer was 0-1 with one walk and a run scored in the first inning off a two-run homer from Daulton Varsho.

It’s been a slow start this season for Springer, who is hitting .189/.283/.377 to start the year. Springer helped lead Toronto to a World Series appearance last year, taking home his third Silver Slugger in 2025.
