George Springer, Toronto Blue Jays

The American League Championship Series came down to this-a game seven with a trip to the World Series on the line.
The Blue Jays slotted Springer in as their designated hitter in the leadoff spot for Sunday’s game and it seems likely he will remain out of a defensive role for Game 7 on Monday as well. He went 0-4 for a strikeout and a walk on Sunday, but his presence might have provided a spark for the Blue Jays hitters, who posted six runs in the win.
