Jeffrey Springs Removed From Second Rehab Start With Lat Injury
6 months agoTampa Bay Rays starting pitcher Jeffrey Springs (elbow) was removed from his second rehab start in the Rookie-Level Florida Complex League on May 25 after facing one batter with left shoulder tightness. However, Rays Manager Kevin Cash clarified that it was more of a "lat issue" and further explained that "We'll probably shut him down for a couple of days, get some heavy doses of treatment in, and we're pretty optimistic he'll get a ball back in his hand real soon." While this setback is not ideal, the southpaw could still be able to meet is projected June return date if this setback does not linger. Springs underwent Tommy John surgery last April and is nearing the end of his long recovery process. The 31-year-old should be expected to immediately rejoin the Tampa Bay rotation when activated and is worth stashing in an injured reserve spot on your roster.
