The Toronto Blue Jays placed slugging outfielder George Springer on the 7-day concussion list Friday, four nights after he was hit in the head with a pitch.

The move was made before Friday's game against the Kansas City Royals. It is retroactive to Tuesday.

Springer was plunked by Orioles right-hander Kade Strowd during Monday's 11-4 loss to Baltimore. Springer was face down on the ground for more than a minute, but he remained alert before eventually being helped off the field.

Springer, 35, is batting .291 with 18 homers and 57 RBIs in 101 games this season -- the four-time All-Star's best showing as a hitter since 2021.

Toronto also activated center fielder Daulton Varsho (hamstring) from the 10-day injured list. Varsho last played for the Blue Jays on May 31 when he was injured while trying to leg out a triple against the Athletics.

Varsho, 29, is batting .207 with eight homers and 20 RBIs in 24 games.

The Blue Jays also optioned right-hander Paxton Schultz to Triple-A Buffalo. The 27-year-old owns a 4.56 ERA in 12 appearances (two starts) for Toronto this season.
