The Toronto Blue Jays activated outfielder George Springer (elbow) from the 10-day injured list on Monday and designated outfielder Bradley Zimmer for assignment in a corresponding move.

The 32-year-old has been dealing with a nagging elbow injury, but when he's back in the lineup, he should be returned to all fantasy lineups in single-year formats.

The fantasy stud has a .251 AVG, 18 HR, 59 R, 49 RBI, and 10 SB in 338 AB. He should remain a solid five-category contributor at the top of a strong Blue Jays lineup.

Wed Aug 3 202211:07George Springer Still Out Against Rays
Toronto Blue Jays outfielder George Springer (elbow) remains out of the starting lineup on Wednesday against the Tampa Bay Rays. It will be the fourth time that Springer has sat out in the team's last five games, leaving some to wonder if his elbow injury is much more serious than the team is letting on. For now, fantasy managers have to consider him day-to-day while keeping him on their benches. Raimel Tapia is back in center field and is hitting ninth on Wednesday against Rays left-hander Jalen Beeks. Tapia is swinging the bat well this year, but he's not as strong against lefties while hitting from the left side of the plate. He's gone 10-for-38 (.263) against southpaws in 2022 with only one of his five home runs.
