Springer Activated from IL

MLB: AUG 04 Blue Jays at Twins

Springer has been sprung from the IL. He’s in the lineup tonight, DHing and hitting at the top of the lineup.

Bradley Zimmer was DFAed to make room on the active roster (know that will make everyone very sad) , and now they have an open 40-man spot, just in case they want to sign Giles (yeah, I know it is unlikely).

The team also has Julian Merryweather getting close to being ready again, and Nate Pearson will pitch a bullpen session soon.


And Shi Davidi tells us that the team may soon be signing Yoshi Tsutsugo to a minor league deal. He was released by the Pirates, after hitting .171/.249/.229 in 50 games this year. Last year he hit .268/.347/.535 with 8 home runs in 43 games. He hits left-handed and can play the corner spots.


Today’s lineup. Kirk gets the day off with Springer at DH. Merryfield plays second.
