Jeffrey Springs

The A's acquired Jeffrey Springs from the Tampa Bay Rays.

Fantasy Impact

Springs is recovering from Tommy John surgery he underwent last year. The A's will take a chance on him with the injury risk at hand, while Tampa Bay had the depth to be able to trade him.

Jeffrey Springs will not make his return this season for the Rays.

Fantasy Impact

Springs will be shut down for the year. He finishes the season having posted a 3.27 ERA across 33 innings. He is expected to be fully healthy heading into spring training.

The Rays have placed Jeffrey Springs on the 15-day IL with left elbow fatigue.

Fantasy Impact

Springs will be replaced by Tyler Alexander on the active roster. He will likely undergo testing and may not return before the end of the season depending on how quickly he can return to mound work.

Jeffrey Springs delivered a solid performance, allowing just one earned run on four hits and two walks while striking out four over six innings in Tuesday's 2-1 win against the Twins.

Fantasy Impact

This outing was a testament to Springs's ability to navigate through tough situations, maintaining a low ERA which now stands impressively at 3.27. His season WHIP of 1.36, coupled with a strong 10.1 K/9 rate, suggests that while he allows some baserunners, his strikeout ability often helps him to mitigate threats. Fantasy managers should note his consistent performance, especially in terms of ERA and strikeouts, making him a valuable asset in leagues that reward pitching precision and high strikeout totals. Despite a slightly elevated BABIP of .330 indicating some bad luck, his solid strikeout-to-walk ratio of 3.36 shows good control and efficiency on the mound.

Jeffrey Springs delivered a masterclass in pitching efficiency against the Mariners, allowing just one hit and two walks while striking out nine over five innings in a tight 3-2 victory for the Rays.

Fantasy Impact

Despite his stellar performance, Springs did not factor into the decision, leaving his win-loss record unchanged. His season-long metrics, including a 3.67 ERA and a 1.44 WHIP, suggest some volatility, but his high strikeout rate (11.0 K/9) continues to make him a valuable asset in fantasy leagues, especially in categories that reward strikeouts. The high BABIP (.366) indicates he's had some bad luck on balls in play, which could mean better results are on the horizon if his luck regresses to the mean. Keep an eye on Springs as a potential high-reward option in your fantasy rotation.
