Jeffrey Springs Fantasy Stats

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.

Athletics left-hander Jeffrey Springs (elbow) isn't expected to have any workload restrictions almost two years removed from Tommy John surgery in 2023, according to manager Mark Kotsay. The 32-year-old southpaw is feeling like himself again and is excited for his opportunity with his new team in 2025. "Physically, I feel good. I can pick it up. I can let it eat. I can do everything and there's no second-guessing. There's no pain or anything I had to deal with for the last two years," Springs said. Kotsay expects Springs to make 30-plus starts in his first season with the A's after returning late in the year for the Rays in 2024 to post a 3.27 ERA and 1.36 WHIP with 37 strikeouts and 11 walks in seven starts. He was developing as a front-line starter with Tampa before his elbow injury, but he's also on the wrong side of 30 and has exceeded 50 innings in the big leagues just once.

The Athletics are acquiring left-hander Jeffrey Springs from the Tampa Bay Rays on Saturday in exchange for right-handers Joe Boyle and Jacob Watters, outfielder Will Simpson and a compensation Round A draft pick, according to sources. It's the second big addition to the A's starting rotation this offseason after they signed right-hander Luis Severino to the largest guaranteed deal in franchise history. The 32-year-old Springs didn't pitch in the first half in 2024 while recovering from Tommy John surgery and finished with a 3.27 ERA and 1.36 WHIP in 33 innings over seven starts down the stretch for Tampa. Springs will be pitching in a minor-league park for home games and has never exceeded 50 innings at the big-league level, so the A's will surely limit his workload, limiting his fantasy upside in 2025. The southpaw has a 3.39 career ERA, 1.25 WHIP and a 27.2% strikeout rate in his seven MLB seasons.

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.

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.
