The Tampa Bay Rays signed left-hander Jeffrey Springs to a four-year, $31 million contract extension on Wednesday. If the Rays pick up his 2027 option, Springs can make up to as much as $65.75 million while also earning his performance bonuses. The 30-year-old southpaw had a career-best 2.46 ERA (3.04 FIP), 1.07 WHIP and 26.2 percent strikeout rate in a career-high 135 1/3 innings covering 33 appearances (25 starts) in his second year with the Rays and fifth in the major leagues. Given the extension, it's clear the Rays plan to use Springs in their rotation in the coming seasons after he entered the 2022 campaign with just two big-league starts in four seasons. Even in the tough American League East, Springs will have some appeal in the later rounds of fantasy drafts as rotation depth.
Tampa Bay Rays left-hander Jeffrey Springs tossed six quality innings on Thursday against the Cleveland Guardians, allowing three hits, striking out five, and walking no one. He didn't get the win, though, as the Rays ended up losing 2-1. Springs is in the midst of his best season, as he owns a 2.45 ERA and 1.07 WHIP with nine wins and 141 strikeouts across 132.1 innings (24 starts). Despite playing for the Rays, the 30-year-old has thrown at least five innings in 11 of his last 12 starts. Springs has been a great fantasy asset for most of the season, and that shouldn't change the rest of the way.
Tampa Bay Rays left-hander Jeffrey Springs (leg) is expected to return from the injured list and make his next start on Sunday when the team takes on the Kansas City Royals. The 29-year-old has been out since early July with right lower-leg tightness. Springs began the year in the bullpen, but transitioned to the rotation a few months in. He's been effective in all roles this year, pitching to a 2.53 ERA and a 1.05 WHIP across 64 innings.

Jeffrey Springs surprised fantasy baseball in 2022 with the success he found after moving into a starting role and the Rays rewarded him this offseason with a four-year contract worth $31 million. In 2022, Springs made 33 appearances (25 starts) totaling 135.1 IP and put together a 9-5 W-L record, 2.46 ERA, 1.07 WHIP and 144 Ks. Springs had a 3.27 xERA, 3.29 xFIP and 3.32 SIERA and it's fair to assume we can expect some ERA regression but even if it drops to his underlying numbers from last year, Springs should be able to outperform his ADP of ~178 (50th among starting pitchers). As a starter, Springs had a 25.9% K%, down from 30.6% as a reliever but that can be expected and his 26.2% K% on the season still ranked in the 71st percentile. Most impressively, Springs cut down the walks and had a 5.5% BB% as a starter (8.6% BB% as a reliever) and ranked in the 83rd percentile. The Rays don't generally hand out multi-year, multi-million-dollar contracts to pitchers in their 30's so it's a clear indication that the Rays believe in Springs' breakout as a starting pitcher and there's no reason we shouldn't believe in it for our fantasy teams either.
