'These kind of games, you need people to execute and we did.' The Blue Jays managed to rally for a 9-4 win over the Athletics on Wednesday despite losing star outfielder George Springer to the IL about an hour before they took the field. (ShiDavidi)

, upon an initial reading of the results, called a re-aggravation of George Springer’s right quad injury.

Now, there needs to be latitude given for stories to develop as information changes. But this was like catching a trailer for what seems like a rom-com and discovering in the theatre that it’s actually a slasher flick.Manager Charlie Montoyo said the imaging this time isn’t any worse than when he initially blew out the quad back in Texas during the first week of the season.

The Blue Jays have certainly missed Springer this week in Oakland, where they managed only five runs in a pair of losses to open the four-game series, and then took more hits as they rallied in an opportunistic, five-run eighth against the American League West leaders. After Vladimir Guerrero Jr., was walked intentionally and Bichette stole third, Teoscar Hernandez ripped a go-ahead RBI single, Randal Grichuk’s base hit extended the lead, Cavan Biggio laid down a clever bunt to squeeze in another before Lourdes Gurriel Jr.’s run-scoring groundout made it 7-3.

Still, the Blue Jays will gladly take outings like this one all year long while Ray is building confidence as he locks in on a productive delivery that eluded him last year.

Blue Jays rally past Athletics despite losing Springer to IL againAbout an hour before the Blue Jays took the field vs. the A's, George Springer was put back on the IL. Toronto rallied for a 9-4 win, but the news that it'll be without its star for at least another week is without a doubt disappointing. (ShiDavidi) ShiDavidi Make him play full Milb games b4 he comes back FAN590 ShiDavidi it's a 10 day IL not a 7 day IL . even then it's a wait and see not definite that he will be coming back in 10 days begs the question was putting him in line up too early worth him re aggravating his quad injury ( per Montoya) of course we want our 150 mil asset in line up .. but ShiDavidi It's obvious that the Jays medical staff is incompetent!!! damagedgoods

Blue Jays expect Springer to need more than 10 days on new IL stintToronto Blue Jays outfielder George Springer is expected to need more than 10 days to recover during his latest stint on the injured list, according to general manager Ross Atkins. Dude is made of glass apparently....or Montoyo was pressured to get him back in too early.

Amid Blue Jays' rotation instability, clarity on Springer would ease concernsGeorge Springer isn't playing. As the Blue Jays navigate a stretch of 10 games in a row, communicating clearly about what’s happening with the $150-million man would help snuff out growing unease about his status. (ShiDavidi) ShiDavidi Methinks the Astros snookered the Jays. Yikes. ShiDavidi Shouldn't have wasted that much money on one player, and paid money on great pitching instead...just like everyone was saying to management before the season started. ShiDavidi Springer will be fine, team offence will be fine. I’m more concerned 😟 about their bullpen and starting pitching. With all there bullpen day so far. This isn’t helping them for the future. With Tanner Roark out of the picture. Ryu and Ray, are the only reliable pitchers.
