George Springer: (Quad) Ruled Out For Season

Springer (quadriceps) will not play again this season, Jose de Jesus Ortiz of the Houston Chronicle reports.

Analysis:

Springer ran the bases over the weekend, seemingly in a final attempt to convince the coaching staff to let him return, but interim manager Tom Lawless announced Tuesday that the team has decided to play it safe and shut him down for the remainder of the season. The 24-year-old Springer did not make an immediate impact upon his promotion in mid-April, as he hit just .182/.262/.218 with zero homers in his first 14 games, but he went on to smack 20 homers in his next 64 contests.
