Toronto Blue Jays star slugger George Springer is in Friday's starting lineup, batting first as the designated hitter against Yoshinobu Yamamoto and the Los Angeles Dodgers in Game 6 of the World Series.
Springer was questionable for the remainder of the series after experiencing right side discomfort during a swing in the seventh inning of Game 3 and exiting the contest.

The 36-year-old missed Game 4 but was close to playing Game 5 after he "checked every box" during pregame workout sessions, manager John Schneider told reporters Thursday. Schneider opted not to use Springer during the Blue Jays' 6-1 win.
Springer has been sensational for the Blue Jays this postseason, posting an .884 OPS with four home runs, six doubles, and nine RBIs in 57 at-bats.
He hit a memorable late-inning homer against the Seattle Mariners in Game 7 of the ALCS to help the Blue Jays advance to the Fall Classic.
