Springer making strides after leaving Game 3 with injury, status for Game 5 uncertain

By Canadian Press on October 29, 2025.

LOS ANGELES — Toronto Blue Jays slugger George Springer’s status remains uncertain for Game 5 of the World Series against the Los Angeles Dodgers.

Springer hasn’t played since injuring his right side while fouling off a pitch in Game 3.

Speaking at a pre-game media availability in the manager’s office at Dodger Stadium, John Schneider says Springer “looked good” hitting in the cage.

He planned to check in with him later in the afternoon once he completes running drills and the rest of his hitting work.

Rookie right-hander Trey Yesavage is tabbed to start for the Blue Jays in Game 5 against left-hander Blake Snell.

The best-of-seven series is tied at two games apiece. Game 6 will be played on Friday night at Rogers Centre.
