The Jays are looking to even things up tonight as a beautiful evening unfolds.
Springer is out again tonight. If he wasn’t able to pinch hit last night, it seems wise to keep him out tonight.
The quad issue, Montoyo says, "is not like it was before or he would be on the IL again. He's getting better. We just want to make sure he's comfortable. Again, he's day to day, he doesn't need to go on the IL right now, that's for sure."

Why not put him on IL? "Because he was able to swing the bat. The goal was that he was going to play in the outfield. Sunday he felt fatigue. Before that he was feeling good. You could see it at the plate...hitting bombs ... He didn't pull anything. He just felt it a little bit."
