The Toronto Blue Jays placed outfielder George Springer on the paternity list on Saturday after his newborn son arrived. Springer’s child was welcomed that day, leading the club to later shift him to a longer absence category, which extends his time off.
To fill the open spot, Toronto recalled outfielder Jonatan Clase. The team hopes Springer will return by Monday for the matchup at their stadium. No firm return date has been set, and the club will assess his readiness as the situation develops.
