The Toronto Blue Jays placed outfielder George Springer on the paternity list on Saturday after his baby was born. Springer’s child was welcomed that day, leading the club to later shift him to a longer absence category, which extends his time off.
To cover the vacancy, Toronto recalled outfielder Jonatan Clase. The team hopes Springer will return by Monday for the home game against the Giants. His status remains day-to-day, and the club will assess his readiness as the situation develops.
