George Springer Absent Again On Wednesday
2 years agoToronto Blue Jays outfielder George Springer (illness) is not in the starting lineup for the second straight game Wednesday as the club takes on the Phillies in Philadelphia. Springer missed Tuesday's contest due to a viral illness, and it appears it will cost him Wednesday's contest as well. The right fielder is off to a slow start this season, hitting just .209 with four home runs, five stolen bases, and a .574 OPS across 151 trips to the plate. With just five extra-base hits on the season, Springer owns a tiny .094 isolated power along with a 62 wRC+ that indicates his bat has been 38% below the league average this season. Cavan Biggio will man right field and hit eighth against Phillies right-hander Zack Wheeler.
