Jays' Springer leaves game after crashing into wall

Toronto Blue Jays outfielder George Springer was removed from Friday’s game against the Tampa Bay Rays in the bottom of the third, an inning after crashing into the wall trying to make a catch.

Springer briefly stayed down on the ground and received attention from the Blue Jays trainers after jumping into the wall trying to track down a fly ball off the bat of Brandon Lowe.

The 32-year-old remained in the game and grounded out in the top of the third, before he was replaced defensively by Raimel Tapia.

Springer has appeared in 32 games this season for the Jays and has a .278 batting average with seven homers and 18 RBIs.
