Blue Jays designated hitter George Springer has suffered a broken big toe
The Toronto Blue Jays made a pair of very notable roster decisions on Wednesday before their series finale with the Boston Red Sox. After getting starting pitcher Trey Yesavage back from injury, the Jays are getting more positive reinforcements on Wednesday.
As the Blue Jays continue to creep back towards the .500 mark (currently 13-16), they have been one of the most injured teams in MLB. On Wednesday, the team announced notable decisions on George Springer and Eloy Jiménez.

Blue Jays Make Roster Announcements on George Springer, Eloy Jimenez
GettyGeorge Springer is returning to the Toronto Blue Jays lineup to face the Boston Red Sox.
Before the Red Sox game on Wednesday, the Blue Jays’ social media team announced that George Springer is being activated from the injured list and that Eloy Jimenez is being designated for assignment.
MLBTradeRumors.com’s Darragh McDonald wrote (on April 29):
“It’s the inverse of a transaction from a couple of weeks ago. Springer fractured a bone in his left big toe when he fouled a ball off of his foot. On April 12th, he was placed on the IL, with Jiménez selected to take his place on the roster. Now that Springer is healthy enough to return, Jiménez has been bumped off.”
Eloy Jimenez has struggled this season in 31 at-bats. He’s hitting .290 technically, but also has zero extra base hits and just nine hits in 12 games. He was always going to be designated when George Springer returned. He previously won a Silver Slugger award with the Chicago White Sox, but didn’t play in MLB in 2025, and has struggled to be productive long-term as a hitter.
