LOS ANGELES — Blue Jays designated hitter George Springer left Game 3 of the World Series in the seventh inning with right side discomfort, per Toronto manager John Schneider.

Leading off the inning, Springer hit a foul ball against Dodgers left-hander Justin Wrobleski when he grabbed at his right side and called a member of the team’s training staff to the plate. Springer immediately left the field.

Ty France replaced Springer at the plate and inherited an 0-1 count before eventually striking out.

The Blue Jays lost 6-5 in 18 innings as the Dodgers took a 2-1 lead in the best-of-seven series. Game 4 is Tuesday at Dodger Stadium.

After Game 3, Scheider told reporters that Springer had already undergone an MRI but had no further information.

“We’ll see how he wakes up (Tuesday),” Schneider said.

Springer was 0-for-3 with two strikeouts in the game after he entered 3-for-8 with a double and two runs scored over the first two games of the series. He left with the game tied 4-all.

The 36-year old batted .309 with 32 home runs and 84 RBIs in 140 games this season. In 12 seasons for the Houston Astros and Blue Jays, he is a career .266 hitter with 293 home runs and 796 RBIs in 1,445 regular-season games.

In 81 postseason games, he has batted .264 with 23 home runs and 47 RBIs. The four-time All-Star was a member of the Astros’ 2017 World Series championship club.
