Toronto Blue Jays slugger Springer not in starting lineup for Game 5

LOS ANGELES - Toronto Blue Jays slugger George Springer was not in the starting lineup for Game 5 of the World Series against the Los Angeles Dodgers on Wednesday.

Springer, who performed running drills and took swings earlier in the day at Dodger Stadium, was expected to be available off the bench. He hasn't played since injuring his right side while fouling off a pitch in Game 3.
