TORONTO -- For the Blue Jays to get where they want to go, they need more George Springer's hands back on the wheel. Nothing has come easily this season. Springer looked rejuvenated in the bright, early days of Spring Training, but he’s hit just .198 with a .584 OPS. Among

MILWAUKEE -- Vladimir Guerrero Jr.’s bat took over Toronto's 3-1 loss to the Brewers on Monday, but not how you’d think. In the fourth inning, Vladdy’s bat flew out of his hands and whizzed over the Blue Jays’ dugout into the netting above as players ducked and scrambled. But it
