Jeffrey Springs Reinstated From The Injured List
4 months agoThe 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.
