George Springer wasted no time getting himself back into the swing of things.
Spring was activated off the injured list on Wednesday for the series finale against the Boston Red Sox and was brought into the game as a pinch hitter in the fifth inning.
Replacing the for Yohendrick Pinango, who started as the designated hitter, Springer jumped on the first pitch he saw and hit an RBI single to put the Blue Jays up 7-1.
Springer had been sidelined with a broken big toe since April 11.
The 36-year-old was slashing .185/.290/.370 with two homers and four doubles before the injury, and his absence has left a huge hole at the top of the Blue Jays lineup.
With Springer out, Ernie Clement, Nathan Lukes, Myles Straw and Davis Schneider all appeared in the leadoff spot for the Blue Jays.
It has been a tough start to the season for Toronto on the injury front, as Springer, Addison Barger and Alejandro Kirk, as well as a handful of pitchers, have missed significant time in April.
