Jeffrey Springs To Throw Another Bullpen On Tuesday
6 months agoTampa Bay Rays left-hander Jeffrey Springs (elbow, lat) threw a 20-pitch bullpen session of fastballs and changeups on Saturday and will throw another bullpen on Tuesday. The Rays hope he will restart his minor-league rehab assignment in early June. Springs' second rehab outing in the Rookie-level Florida Complex League ended after just one batter on May 25 after he was removed in the bottom of the first inning with left-shoulder tightness. Manager Kevin Cash said on May 26 that it was more of a lat issue and called it a "very precautionary" exit that shouldn't set Springs' rehab timeline back too far. The 31-year-old southpaw will have to restart his buildup with a one-inning outing and add to his workload each time out. Springs had Tommy John surgery on April 24 of last year and is currently on the 60-day injured list. Before the year, president of baseball operations Erik Neander said Springs could rejoin the starting rotation by July or August.
