After missing over 2 weeks with a concussion, Blue Jays veteran George Springer is likely to wrap up his rehab assignment and return to the majors Saturday.
As the 35-year-old returns, hoping to continue a resurgent season, Loperfido heads down to Triple A despite hitting .358 with Toronto.
George Springer has already outdone himself this season for the Toronto Blue Jays. He hit 19 home runs in 2024. But now in 2025, he's already up to 20 with a lot of season left to play. Springer homered Tuesday night to reach that 20-homer plateau, and it's an exceptional accomplishment in his career.
How good does your team have to be to option someone hitting .358 to Triple-A? The Blue Jays had to make a tough roster decision.
