Swipes another bag Monday
Springer went 1-for-4 with a run scored and a stolen base in Monday's win over the Red Sox.
Analyse
The veteran slugger singled in the sixth inning and swiped second before coming home with the winning run in a 2-1 victory. Springer's had a tough season on the health front, seeing action in 89 of the Blue Jays' 120 games, but he appears to be back in top form -- since the All-Star break he's delivered a .287/.360/.463 slash line with three of his 12 homers and three of his nine steals on the year, to go along with 11 runs and 14 RBI in 23 contests.

Checking back in lineup Monday
Springer (shoulder) will start at designated hitter and bat cleanup in Monday's game against the Red Sox.
Analyse
Springer will make his return to the starting nine after a tight left shoulder kept him on the bench for the Blue Jays' final two games of their weekend series in Philadelphia. The 36-year-old was able to make an appearance as a pinch runner in Saturday's 7-5 win in 11 innings, and the shoulder issue apparently is no longer inhibiting him at the plate either.

Not included in lineup Sunday
Springer (shoulder) is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Phillies.
Analyse
Springer will miss a second straight start while he tends to a tight left shoulder. The 36-year-old was able to make an appearance off the bench as a pinch runner Saturday, so at this stage it doesn't look like he's at risk of landing on the injured list.

Scratched from lineup Saturday
Springer has been removed from Saturday's starting lineup versus Philadelphia due to left shoulder tightness, Arden Zwelling of Sportsnet.ca reports.
Analyse
According to Zwelling, the issue is one that Springer has been dealing with for "the last couple days." With Springer pulled from the lineup, Jesus Sanchez is moving to DH, and Myles Straw is now starting in left field. Per Mark Feinsand of MLB.com, manager John Schneider said Springer is available off the bench Saturday.
