"Springer, who also missed Game 4 after leaving Game 3 early with right side discomfort, did some hitting in the batting cage and some running prior to Wednesday's game. "George is feeling better," Schneider said. "I think better than he expected to feel, better than we expected him to feel, which is saying a lot." Bo Bichette served as the DH in place of Springer in Game 5 while Isiah Kiner-Falefa started at second base."
"The 36-year-old Springer left Monday's contest after taking an awkward swing in the seventh inning of the Dodgers' eventual 18-inning victory. He is 3-for-11 with two runs scored in the World Series, which is tied 2-2. Springer has been a key member of the Blue Jays' postseason run, but he watched another game from the bench before the Series takes a day off Thursday. With the extra time to heal, it means Springer could be ready for Friday's Game 6 in Toronto."
