  Springer went 2-for-4 with a two run home run and two runs scored during Saturday's win over the Mets. The outfielder had been in a bit of a funk and had gone 10 consecutive games without a multi-hit showing. However, the dry spells have been few and far between for Springer, as he's now up to 30 homers, 73 RBI, 94 runs and a .292/.370/.546 slash line for the campaign. It's also worth noting that he's posted those high-end numbers in just 114 games.

Hinch will just build in a day of rest for the outfielder in an effort to limit the strain on his legs. Though Springer has underwhelmed after rejoining the lineup, going 3-for-16 with two walks in the four contests, there's been no indication he's experienced any sort of setback with his right quadriceps. Springer looks like a safe activation heading into the upcoming week.
