Lots of updates from lengthy media session with Blue Jays GM Ross Atkins:
-- Based on current info, expectation is George Springer will need more than 10 days on new IL stint
-- Team is comfortable in its process with OF, had objective reasons to activate him when it did

-- Atkins praised Springer& #39;s exceptional toughness and pain tolerance and team may have to factor that more into its decision-making with him
-- David Phelps and Joe Panik are currently getting MRIs
-- Phelps is likely to be counter move for Ryu& #39;s activation

-- If Panik injury needs IL, A.J. Cole is only player left on taxi squad, although Riley Adams, optioned yesterday, could be rerouted back
-- Alejandro Kirk will miss at least four weeks, maybe more; Atkins says Blue Jays "are excited to see Reese (McGuire) play" in his absence
