Jeffrey Springs Fantasy Stats

Athletics left-hander Jeffrey Springs (hip) was pulled after three ineffective innings in his outing on Thursday against the Kansas City Royals with what the team called right-hip soreness, but Sports Illustrated's Jason Burke reports that Springs is expected to make his next start. Manager Mark Kotsay called the move to pull Springs on Thursday precautionary. Springs was looking outstanding to begin the year, posting a 1.46 ERA through his first four starts, but he's now gone just 14 innings in his last three starts with an 8.36 ERA. The left-hander had Tommy John surgery in 2023, putting him out for most of the 2024 campaign. The 33-year-old veteran was getting his feel back in 2025, when he went 11-11 with a 4.11 ERA, 1.21 WHIP, and 138:54 K:BB in 171 innings pitched. Springs needed 67 pitches to get through his three innings, and even though he has a nice matchup against the struggling Phillies his next time out, he'll be a big risk coming off an injury scare. He'll need to get his strikeout rate back up and stay healthy to remain fantasy relevant in shallow mixed leagues all year.

Athletics left-hander Jeffrey Springs (hip) left his outing on Thursday against the visiting Kansas City Royals early with right-hip soreness, according to Martin Gallegos of MLB.com. Springs made it through three frames in the team's eventual 6-3 victory, allowing two earned runs on five hits (one homer) while walking one and striking out four. It's unclear at this point if Springs' injury is serious enough to keep him from making his next scheduled start next week against the struggling Philadelphia Phillies. The 33-year-old veteran southpaw came into Thursday's action with a 3-2 record, 3.79 ERA, 1.01 WHIP, and a 31:11 K:BB in 35 2/3 innings pitched over his first six starts in his second season with the A's. Springs' strikeout rate has been up slightly this year after it dipped to a career-low 19.4% in 2025, but it's still below-average, and he pitches in one of the most hitter-friendly home parks in the league in Sacramento. Fantasy managers shouldn't be compelled to hold Springs in mixed leagues if he ends up landing on the injured list with his hip injury.

Athletics starting pitcher Jeffrey Springs is becoming a popular waiver wire pickup after back-to-back strong outings on the mound. Most recently, Springs tossed seven shutout innings, allowing one hit with seven strikeouts during Thursday's win over the New York Yankees. The southpaw is posting a 1.47 ERA with 15 strikeouts across three starts this season. That's impressive considering he faced the Houston Astros, Toronto Blue Jays, and Yankees, which are all capable of doing damage with the bats. Springs will now head into a matchup against the Texas Rangers on Tuesday. He has pitched well enough early in the season to warrant a look in 12-team formats ahead of Tuesday's matchup.

Athletics starting pitcher Jeffrey Springs looked untouchable on the mound during Thursday's outing against the New York Yankees. Springs made it through six innings without allowing a hit. Unfortunately for him, Ben Rice smacked a single in the seventh inning to ruin the no-hit bid. Springs would finish his day going seven shutout innings, allowing one hit, and striking out six batters. The southpaw now holds a 1.47 ERA with 15 strikeouts across 18.1 innings of work this season. His next scheduled outing is against the Texas Rangers on Tuesday. Springs has looked strong against some tough lineups to begin the season. The 33-year-old is worth a look as a streaming option ahead of his next matchup.

Athletics starting pitcher Jeffrey Springs posted his worst outing of the month during Thursday's game against the Detroit Tigers. Springs was hit around early, giving up a homer to Spencer Torkelson and a two-run double to Jahmai Jones before the end of the third inning. He settled down after that, but allowed three earned runs on five hits with two walks over five innings of work in the loss. He currently holds a 4.30 ERA, 1.24 WHIP, and 75/34/ K/BB ratio as he heads into his next outing against the Tampa Bay Rays. Springs has some streaming value for that one, but has been more of a deep league option this season.

Athletics' left-hander Jeffrey Springs was excellent on Sunday against the San Francisco Giants, firing 84 pitches over 6 innings, allowing two hits, one earned run, and five strikeouts as he walked away with the no-decision as the Athletics bullpen blew the lead in the bottom of the eight inning to lost 3-2. That is back-to-back quality starts for Springs. He had another one against the Los Angeles Dodgers earlier in the week on Tuesday. The productive Week 7 lowered Springs' ERA to 3.91 on the season, and he has a 41:21 K:BB ratio in 53 innings pitched. Next up for Springs is a tough outing at home against the Philadelphia Phillies. Fantasy managers may want to consider sitting him, as he owns a 6.30 ERA at home and a 2.45 ERA on the road as the Athletics play at their interim field, Sutter Health Park.

Athletics starting pitcher Jeffrey Springs was impressive on the mound during Thursday's game against the Texas Rangers. Springs had seemingly no issues on the mound outside of a jam in the fifth inning that he escaped with no damage. He finished his day with six innings, two hits allowed, while striking out one batter in the win. Somehow, Springs was able to pitch this well while only striking out one batter throughout the entire outing. The A's decided to pull him from the contest after 68 pitches, but he probably could've pitched longer. His next start will come against the Seattle Mariners next week. Springs is worth a look in deep leagues, but the lack of strikeouts does limit his value.

Athletics left-hander Jeffrey Springs (hamstring) has been cleared to make his next start on Saturday in Sacramento against the visiting Chicago White Sox. Springs' last start on Sunday against the Milwaukee Brewers was cut short in the third inning when he dealt with tightness in his right hamstring. The injury turned out to be nothing serious for the 32-year-old veteran southpaw, though, so he won't need to miss a turn through the A's rotation. It hasn't been the best start for Springs in his first year with the A's, as he's gone 3-2 with a 5.64 ERA (5.17 FIP) and 1.66 WHIP with 23 strikeouts and 14 walks over his first five starts covering 22 1/3 frames. Since going six shutout innings with a season-high nine K's in his first start in 2025 against Seattle, Springs has allowed at least three earned runs in each of his last four starts. It hasn't been pretty, but he'll be worth a look as a streamer in fantasy on Saturday against Chicago.

Athletics starting pitcher Jeffrey Springs left the game in the third inning of Sunday's start with hamstring tightness. He had already given up six runs (four earned) on five hits and four walks in a game that the A's would go on to lose 14-1 to the Brewers. After the game, Springs said the hamstring issue was more like a cramp that started in the second inning and worsened in the third. He expects to be ready to pitch for his next start, but he will undergo further evaluations over the next couple of days. He currently holds an ugly 5.64 ERA on the season, and will look to turn things around in his next start if he's ready to go.

Athletics starting pitcher Jeffrey Springs was stellar in his first start of 2025, tossing six shutout innings in Friday's 7-0 victory over the Mariners. The lefty allowed just three hits and one walk while striking out nine batters en route to picking up the win. Springs underwent Tommy John surgery in 2023 after just three starts, and finally returned late last season, compiling seven starts down the stretch for the Rays with a 3.27 ERA, 1.36 WHIP, and an 11:37 BB:K over 33 innings pitched. The 31-year-old owns a strong career 21.9 percent K-BB% as a starter and a 10.12 K/9. The southpaw will be a popular waiver wire addition, and rightfully so; he should be rostered in most leagues. His next start lines up with Chicago at home next Wednesday.
