Jeffrey Springs Stats

Tampa Bay Rays relief pitcher Jeffrey Springs (knee) looks to be heading to the 10-day injured list after exiting Saturday's game early, according to Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times. Springs was diagnosed with a right knee sprain, as manager Kevin Cash said it was "highly likely" that he will be heading to the injured list, although the team is hopeful that it will not be a serious injury. He's been a good option in SV/HLD formats this year, posting two saves and nine holds while going 5-1 with a 3.45 ERA, 1.060 WHIP and 35.2 percent strikeout rate over 44 1/3 innings of work. Managers who have him rostered should stash him on the IL for now, but with how close it's getting to the end of the season we may not see him back in time to make an impact in fantasy.

Texas Rangers relief pitcher Jeffrey Springs performed well in his debut in the "opener" role on Monday. Springs was making his first ever start in the majors, and his first at any level this season. The young left-handed pitcher had three strikeouts and gave up two hits in his two scoreless innings Monday. His success Monday means that we could see Springs performing this role for the Rangers again if the matchup is right. The opener role offers little fantasy value for that pitcher, but looking longer term, solid performances in this role will raise Spring's stock in the eyes of the Rangers and could lead to him getting a shot as the closer at some point further down the line

Texas Rangers relief pitcher Jeffrey Springs will make his first start in the major leagues Monday. The Rangers will experiment with the use of an opener to try and protect Ariel Jurado from having to face the top of the Angels lineup in the first innings. The opener role offers no value to Springs as he will not be eligible to pick up wins, saves or holds and he has to face the toughest part of the Angels lineup, which include Mike Trout. However Jurado gets a small boost in leagues which cap starts as his outing will not count against that cap.
