Jeffrey Springs fought his way back from Tommy John surgery earlier this season, but the Tampa Bay Rays lefty has been sidelined again with more elbow issues.
Springs, who last took the mound for a one-run gem against the Minnesota Twins on Sept. 3, is dealing with left elbow fatigue. The 31-year-old southpaw will be eligible to return on Sept. 20, but with just nine games left in the season after that point, fans may have already seen the last of Springs here in 2024.
The Tampa Bay Rays have placed LHP Jeffrey Springs on the 15-day injured list with left elbow fatigue and recalled LHP Tyler Alexander from triple-A Durham.Springs underwent Tommy John surgery in April 2023, costing him the vast majority of that season and most of 2024 as well. He started a minor league rehab assignment in May, but a lat injury sidelined him for another month and he didn't return to the MLB rotation until July 28.
The Rays went 5-2 across Springs' seven appearances since his return. He went 2-2 with a 3.27 ERA, 1.364 WHIP, 10.1 strikeouts per nine innings and a 0.9 WAR on the whole this year, not including his 12 appearances in the minors. Over the past four seasons, Springs is 18-8 with a 2.63 ERA, 1.079 WHIP, 10.5 strikeouts per nine innings and a 5.6 WAR in 229.0 innings of work.
