LOS ANGELES -- Toronto Blue Jays star George Springer is not in the starting lineup for Tuesday's Game 4 of the World Series after leaving Monday night's game against the Los Angeles Dodgers with right side discomfort.

Springer, 36, suffered the injury on a swing in the seventh inning of Game 3, exiting not long after calling for the athletic trainer.

Springer underwent an MRI, but the team wasn't forthcoming about the results, with manager John Schneider indicating only that Springer was "hour-to-hour."

"I think swinging will be the key to kind of determine if he's in there or not," Schneider said earlier Tuesday, not long before the lineup was announced. "But he was the first one here, a lot of treatment, a lot of work, and George is going to do everything he can to be ready."
