  • Rays' Jeffrey Springs: Dealing with lat issue

    Rays manager Kevin Cash said Sunday that Springs (elbow) will be shut down for a couple of day after the left-hander exited Saturday's rehab start in the rookie-level Florida Complex League, Ryan Bass of Bally Sports Sun reports.

    Cash noted that Springs' removal from Saturday's rehab start was due to a lat issue and "very precautionary." The southpaw was making the second start of his rehab assignment as he continues to work his way back from Tommy John surgery, which he underwent April 24, 2023. Assuming his throwing program isn't delayed for too long, Springs could head back out on his rehab assignment within the next week or two, potentially putting him on track for a return from the 60-day injured list at some point in June.

  • Rays' Jeffrey Springs: Shoulder issue during rehab start

    Springs (elbow) exited Saturday's rehab start with the Florida Complex League Rays due to left shoulder tightness, Kristie Ackert of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

    Springs allowed a hit to the only batter he faced before departing. It's possible this is just some typical tightness/soreness pitchers experience at the beginning of spring training, which is essentially the stage of the rehab process Springs is in right now. However, anytime the shoulder is involved, there has to be some level of concern. The Rays could offer more on the southpaw's status soon.

  • Rays' Jeffrey Springs: Works one inning in rehab start

    Springs (elbow) was charged with one earned run on three hits while striking out two over one inning in a rehab start Monday with the Rays' rookie-level Florida Complex League affiliate.

    According to MLB.com, Rays manager Kevin Cash said Springs felt good following the rehab start, which was his first appearance in a game setting since he underwent Tommy John surgery April 24, 2023. Cash noted that Springs has one more rehab outing planned with the Rays' FCL affiliate before moving on to Triple-A Durham. Springs should gradually increase his innings and pitch counts in his subsequent minor-league outings, though he'll still likely need the full 30-day rehab window to get ramped up before being deemed ready to return from the 60-day injured list, likely in the final week or two of June.

  • Rays' Jeffrey Springs: Beginning rehab assignment

    Springs (elbow) will pitch in the Florida Complex League on May 20, MLB.com reports.

    Springs completed a two-inning live batting practice session Wednesday, lining him up to return to the mound in an official game for the first time since April 13, 2023. He'll have a significant ramp-up period before being activated from the injured list, but he is projected to return in late June.

  • Rays' Jeffrey Springs: Placed on 60-day IL

  • Rays' Jeffrey Springs: Looking at July-August return

    Rays president of baseball operations Erik Neander said Tuesday that Springs (elbow) is on track to return in July or August, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

    Springs underwent Tommy John surgery in late April, so the timetable Neander offered up would have the left-hander back in around 16 months. Of course, it's a rough timeline at this point, and Springs will be facing workload restrictions when he does make it back. Fantasy managers shouldn't be counting on a major impact until 2025.

  • Rays' Jeffrey Springs: Resumes throwing

    Rays manager Kevin Cash said Tuesday that Springs (elbow) has resumed throwing in the Tampa area, Steve Carney of StPeteNine.com reports.

    Springs carried a lot of buzz last spring after working to a 2.46 ERA and 144:31 K:BB over 135.1 innings in 2022, but he blew out his elbow in his third start of the 2023 regular season and underwent Tommy John surgery in late April. The 31-year-old left-hander probably won't return to a major-league mound until late June or early July of 2024.
