Jeffrey Springs Goes Three Innings In Latest Rehab Start
3 months agoTampa Bay Rays left-hander Jeffrey Springs (elbow) made his eighth minor-league rehab start with Triple-A Durham on Saturday, July 20, allowing two runs on four hits while walking one and striking out three over three innings. Springs' outing was cut short after 48 pitches due to a rain delay, but he's on turn to throw five innings in his next rehab start for the Bulls. His longest rehab start came on July 14, when he gave up five runs (four earned) on eight hits while walking one and striking out three over 4 2/3 frames. The Rays are evaluating his readiness on a start-by-start basis after he underwent Tommy John surgery on April 24 of last year. The 31-year-old southpaw should be an option for Tampa's starting rotation in August, barring a setback, and will be in consideration for a roster spot in mixed fantasy leagues after he went 9-5 with a 2.46 ERA and 1.07 WHIP with a career-high 144 K's and 31 walks in 33 outings (25 starts) in 2022 for the Rays.
