George Springer from the starting lineup of World Series Game 4 in the Blue Jays cruiser

George Springer wasn’t quite ready for Tuesday evening.

The Blue Jays star was left out of the starting lineup after leaving mid-at bat in the seventh inning of Game 3 of the World Series on Monday with what the team described as right side discomfort.

Springer fouled a pitch during the at-bat, but left the field before Dodgers reliever Justin Wrobleski could throw another pitch.

The Toronto slugger arrived at Dodger Stadium on Tuesday intent on getting it right for Game 4.

“Getting himself moving and swinging,” Blue Jays manager John Schneider said, via Sportsnet. “I think swinging will be the key to whether he’s there or not. But he was the first one here, a lot of treatment…George is going to do everything he can.”

Nathan Lukes will start in left field and hit leadoff for the Blue Jays in Springer’s absence.

Bo Bichette moved to the designated hitter spot and Isiah Kiner-Falefa took over second base with Springer out.

The injury is a major blow to the Blue Jays, who are now down 2-1 in the series after losing a wild 18-inning game on Monday.

During the regular season, Springer, a four-time All-Star, was one of the best hitters in baseball, slashing .309/.399/.560 with 32 home runs.

That continued into the postseason, where he hit four home runs with a .932 OPS.

In perhaps some residual resentment over the Astros’ 2017 sign-stealing scandal, Dodgers fans on the ballpark cheered as Springer left the game, prompting a reprimand from Fox play-by-play announcer Joe Davis.

“That should not be applauded under any circumstances, regardless of history,” said Davis, who is also the lead television play-by-play announcer on Dodger broadcasts.
