Wed Jun 22 202213:46George Springer Undergoing More Testing
Toronto Blue Jays outfielder George Springer (elbow) is undergoing more testing on his right elbow in Chicago on Wednesday, and he will not be in the starting lineup against Chicago White Sox right-hander Lucas Giolito. Zack Collins is on the taxi squad and could be called up to the active roster ahead of the weekend series against the Milwaukee Brewers, depending on how Springer responds to treatment over the next 48 hours. Fantasy managers should consider the 32-year-old as day-to-day right now, but you should also prepare for a potential injured list stint. Raimel Tapia is starting in center field and is hitting seventh on Wednesday, and he could benefit from more playing time if Springer is forced to the injured list.

Thu Jun 16 202214:00George Springer, Matt Chapman Out Thursday
Toronto Blue Jays outfielder George Springer and third baseman Matt Chapman (wrist) are not in the starting lineup on Thursday against the Baltimore Orioles. Springer has a scheduled day off, while Chapman is out because his right wrist is bothering him again, according to manager Charlie Montoyo. Raimel Tapia is in center field and batting sixth, while Santiago Espinal is playing the hot corner and hitting leadoff on Thursday against Orioles right-hander Tyler Wells. Chapman hit homers on Tuesday and Wednesday, but he was out for three straight games before that with right wrist soreness, so it's something to watch. Espinal will be a solid DFS target on Thursday, as he's hitting .298/.350/.451 with an .801 OPS, five homers, 31 RBI, 25 runs scored and three stolen bases on the season.

The 32-year-old was hitting well before his injury, so fantasy managers are hoping he can pick up where he left off before his illness.
