I'm Cory with the story.

Toronto Blue Jays have been battling a brutal injury wave all season, hitting their pitching

staff and line up hard, but they're starting to turn the corner with key returns.

Designated hitter George Springer is back after missing time since April 11th, with a fractured

big left toe from fouling a ball off his foot.

After this week, rising Ace Trey Yesavage made his comeback against the Boston Red Sox,

and now Springer joins him off the injured list.

The veteran has been running bases and crushing live batting practice, ready to play through

some lingering pain without risking more damage.

Fans and manager, John Schneider, are breathing easier.

Knowing Springer's bat is a huge boost for a lineup that's been scraping by.

The team desperately needed this firepower to stay competitive.

Still, plenty of big names remain sideline, like pictures, mac surezer, with forearm issues,

Jose Boreal's nursing and elbow stress fracture, and Shane.

Bieber dealing with elbow inflammation, plus outfielder's Addison Barger and Nathan

Luke's, Ketcher, Alejandro Kirk, and others.

Cody Ponce is done for the year with an ACL tear.

With these returns sparking hope, the Jays have split their series with the Red Sox and

are pushing to climb above 500, setting up for a stronger push as more heel up.
