Houston Astros star George Springer had been sidelined for over a month before returning to the lineup on Tuesday.
One day later, Springer got to Pittsburgh Pirates starter Dario Agrazal with a lead-off blast. It was a massive shot with an exit velocity of 110.9 mph, traveling 448 feet off the bat.

The Astros are certinaly welcoming Springer back into the mix. The dude was a legit AL MVP candidate before going down to with a hamstring strain back in late May.
He entered Wednesday’s action hitting .307 with 17 homers, 43 RBI and a 1.021 OPS.
It appears that a month on the shelf has not impacted Springer’s legendary swing.
