Blue Jays' George Springer: Back in starting nine Sunday
Rotowire
Springer (personal) will serve as the Blue Jays' designated hitter and hit leadoff in Sunday's game against the Rangers.
The Blue Jays had been preparing for the possibility of Springer going on the paternity list this weekend, but he ended up sticking around after sitting out Saturday's 7-4 loss. Springer could still go on paternity leave at some point during the upcoming week, making him a risky fantasy option during that period.

Rotowire
Springer went 0-for-3 with two stolen bases in Wednesday's win over the Red Sox.
