Rays
Tampa Bay Rays manager Kevin Cash said that left-hander Jeffrey Springs (elbow) is doing better, but he will not pitch again in 2024. The Rays placed Springs on the 15-day injured list with left-elbow fatigue earlier this month. It just doesn't make any sense to push him back with the Rays out of playoff contention and based on the fact that the 31-year-old southpaw came back from Tommy John surgery this year. The Rays will shut him down now and have him focus on getting his left elbow completely healthy for spring training next year and the start of the 2025 campaign. Springs ended up making only seven starts this year, but he looked good in his 33 innings pitched, posting a 3.27 ERA and 1.36 WHIP with 37 strikeouts and 11 walks. As long as Springs looks healthy next spring, he'll be on the fantasy radar in all formats after posting a 2.46 ERA with 144 K's in 135 1/3 innings in 2022.

Jeffrey Springs Hits 15-Day IL With Elbow Injury
Tampa Bay Rays starting pitcher Jeffrey Springs (elbow) was placed on the 15-day IL on Sunday afternoon (retroactive to Thursday, September 5) due to left elbow fatigue. The 31-year-old will not be eligible to return until late in September. Springs began his 2024 season later after undergoing Tommy John surgery last season. Through 33 innings of work this season, the southpaw has held a 3.27 ERA, 1.36 WHIP, and an 11:37 BB:K ratio. Fantasy managers should continue to monitor Springs' status as he may not take the major league mound again this summer. For the time being, 30-year-old Tyler Alexander should be the front-runner to take claim the open spot in the starting rotation.

Jeffrey Springs Strikes Out Eight, Gives Up A Run In Five Innings
Tampa Bay Rays starting pitcher Jeffrey Springs struck out eight and walked none in five innings of work as the Rays beat the Baltimore Orioles by a score of 2-1 on Sunday. Springs, who did not factor into the decision, is 0-1 and has only made three starts this season after recovering from Tommy John surgery. Throughout his career (294 1/3 innings), he has a 3.46 ERA and a 1.25 WHIP. This was his best start so far this year, and he will look to build on it next time out next Sunday against the Arizona Diamondbacks. Springs should be rostered in the majority of fantasy leagues.

Jeffrey Springs Throws 76 Pitches In First Start Tuesday
Tampa Bay Rays starting pitcher Jeffrey Springs (elbow) had an overall encouraging first start of the season in Tuesday's 9-3 win over the Marlins. Springs, who had been recovering from Tommy John surgery since April of last year, pitched 3 2/3 innings on 76 pitches, allowing two runs on six hits (including a two-run home run) and a walk with three strikeouts. It wasn't the greatest fantasy result, but fantasy managers should be encouraged to see Springs finally back with the team. He may need a few starts to get back into the swing of things, but Springs was a surprise fantasy asset when he pitched a full season in 2022, compiling a 2.46 ERA, a 1.07 WHIP, and a 26.2% strikeout rate in 135 1/3 IP. His next start will likely be a middling matchup at the Cardinals.

Jeffrey Springs Reinstated From The Injured List
The Tampa Bay Rays reinstated left-hander Jeffrey Springs (elbow) from the 60-day injured list on Sunday after they traded right-handed reliever Jason Adam to the San Diego Padres in exchange for right-hander Dylan Lesko, outfielder Homer Bush Jr. and catcher J.D. Gonzalez. Springs will make his first start of the 2024 season on Tuesday in an excellent matchup against the Miami Marlins after recovering from Tommy John surgery in April of last year. The 31-year-old southpaw will essentially be taking the rotation spot of Zach Eflin, who was dealt to the Baltimore Orioles just a few days ago. Fantasy managers should probably temper expectations for Springs early on, but he certainly deserves attention in mixed leagues after going 9-5 with a 2.46 ERA and 1.07 WHIP with 144 strikeouts and just 31 walks in 135 1/3 innings for Tampa back in 2022.

Jeffrey Springs Set To Start On Tuesday
Tampa Bay Rays starting pitcher Jeffrey Springs (elbow) is set to make his 2024 debut on Tuesday against the Miami Marlins, according to Brian Murphy of MLB.com. Springs has been sidelined since April of 2023 after undergoing Tommy John surgery. The southpaw has logged a 4.79 ERA, 1.26 WHIP, and a 3:18 BB:K across his previous 20 2/3 minor-league rehab innings. Overall across his total 32 innings of rehab work, the 21-year-old has held a modest 4.50 ERA and 1.34 WHIP. Springs will likely remain in the starting rotation going forward, given the recent trade that sent Zach Eflin to the Baltimore Orioles. Springs should be rostered in all standard leagues and will be a popular DFS play on Tuesday against the Marlins.

Jeffrey Springs Lining Up To Make Season Debut Next Week
Tampa Bay Rays starting pitcher Jeffrey Springs (elbow) will throw a bullpen session prior to Sunday's game against the visiting Cincinnati Reds, setting him up to start in Tuesday or Wednesday's contest against the Miami Marlins. After Springs threw 82 pitches in five innings in Thursday's minor-league rehab outing with Triple-A Durham, his ninth appearance in the minors this year, the Rays are preparing for him to take Zach Eflin's spot in the big-league rotation. This is the last call for fantasy managers to make sure Springs isn't available on any waiver wires; his 2024 regular-season debut following 2023 Tommy John surgery lines up to come at pitcher-friendly Tropicana Field against a last-place Marlins team that sports one of the worst offenses in baseball. Since 2022, the 31-year-old left-hander boasts a 2.26 ERA (2.91 FIP), 1.01 WHIP, and 168:35 K:BB over 151 1/3 innings (28 starts) for Tampa Bay.

Jeffrey Springs Goes Three Innings In Latest Rehab Start
Tampa Bay Rays left-hander Jeffrey Springs (elbow) made his eighth minor-league rehab start with Triple-A Durham on Saturday, July 20, allowing two runs on four hits while walking one and striking out three over three innings. Springs' outing was cut short after 48 pitches due to a rain delay, but he's on turn to throw five innings in his next rehab start for the Bulls. His longest rehab start came on July 14, when he gave up five runs (four earned) on eight hits while walking one and striking out three over 4 2/3 frames. The Rays are evaluating his readiness on a start-by-start basis after he underwent Tommy John surgery on April 24 of last year. The 31-year-old southpaw should be an option for Tampa's starting rotation in August, barring a setback, and will be in consideration for a roster spot in mixed fantasy leagues after he went 9-5 with a 2.46 ERA and 1.07 WHIP with a career-high 144 K's and 31 walks in 33 outings (25 starts) in 2022 for the Rays.

Jeffrey Springs Nearing Return To MLB Mound
Tampa Bay Rays left-handed starting pitcher Jeffrey Springs (elbow) is ramping up for a return to the big leagues after working his way back from Tommy John surgery. Springs has three appearances of at least four innings during July for Triple-A Durham. He is inching closer to making his way back to the Tampa Bay rotation. The 31-year-old had a breakout 2022 campaign, going 9-5 with a 2.46 ERA and 1.07 WHIP. He was injured in his third start during the 2023 season. It is never easy to predict how a pitcher will fare post-Tommy John, but Springs was in the midst of a career renaissance with the Rays prior to the injury.

Jeffrey Springs Gives Up Four Earned Runs In Latest Rehab Start
Tampa Bay Rays left-hander Jeffrey Springs (elbow) allowed five runs (four earned) on eight hits while walking one and striking out three in 4 2/3 innings in his latest minor-league rehab start with Triple-A Durham on Sunday. The 31-year-old southpaw threw 77 pitches (51 strikes) in the outing and now has a 4.09 ERA and 1.23 WHIP with 24 strikeouts and only two walks in 22 innings over his seven starts for the Bulls. It's unclear what might be next for Springs, but it's quite possible that he'll rejoin the Rays' starting rotation for the second half of the season after having Tommy John surgery in April of last year. The former 30th-round selection of the Texas Rangers in 2015 out of Appalachian State went 9-5 with a 2.46 ERA and 1.07 WHIP with a 144:31 K:BB in 135 1/3 innings in 2022 and is worth picking up off the waiver wire now in mixed leagues if he's available.
