The Toronto Blue Jays are receiving a major boost to the lineup.
George Springer will return Friday for Game 6 of the World Series against the Los Angeles Dodgers.
Springer was unable to play in Games 4 and 5 after suffering an injury to his right side in Game 3.
The 36-year-old will take back the leadoff spot as the Blue Jays’ designated hitter for the potential World Series clincher (Sportsnet, 8 p.m. ET / 5 p.m. PT).
Springer left in the seventh inning of Toronto’s 6-5, 18-inning loss in Game 3 on Monday. After fouling off a pitch, he called for a trainer to come out and left the game after a brief discussion.
