The Toronto Blue Jays were without outfielders George Springer and Kevin Kiermaier due to illness on Friday, and the outfielders won't start Saturday either.
In their place, utility men Cavan Biggio and Ernie Clement will enter the lineup in the eight and nine holes, respectively.
Springer appeared in 35 of the Blue Jays' first 37 games this season. He is batting .206 with three home runs, six RBI, six stolen bases, a .574 OPS and a 0.0 WAR. The 34-year-old slugger is in the back half of a six-year, $140 million contract he inked with the Blue Jays in 2021. He was a three-time All-Star, two-time Silver Slugger and one-time World Series champion with theKiermaier, meanwhile, already spent time on the injured list with hip inflammation earlier this season. He was batting .193 with a .474 OPS before that IL stint, but he is 4-for-10 with a home run and four RBI in the three games since..
The Blue Jays losing out on Springer's bat and Kiermaier's glove puts them in a tough spot, even taking into account the fact that both have struggled for long stretches in 2024. Toronto lost 3-2 without the pair on Friday, falling to 2-6 since April 30.
