Exiting starting lineup
Springer is absent from the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Phillies.
Analysis
Springer went 0-for-4 with three strikeouts in Monday's series opener and is hitless over his last three contests, so he'll get a day to regroup. Vladimir Guerrero will get a day at designated hitter, and Charles McAdoo will play first base.

Finding rhythm at plate
Springer went 2-for-3 with a double and a run scored in Friday's loss to the Orioles.
Analysis
The veteran slugger held a paltry .186 batting average on May 16, but since then Springer has begun to find a groove. Over his last 16 games, he's slashing .258/.319/.470 with five doubles, three homers, two steals, six RBI and eight runs while still consistently hitting leadoff for the Blue Jays.

Out of Wednesday's lineup
Springer is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against Atlanta.
Analysis
Springer will ride the bench for the second time in the past three games for Toronto. After posting a .959 OPS in 140 regular-season games last year, the 36-year-old has had a down campaign thus far in 2026, slashing .206/.282/.350 with just five home runs through 160 at-bats. Jesus Sanchez (wrist) will take over at DH for Springer and bat cleanup.
