The Tampa Bay Rays aim to stop their three-game home skid with a win against the Baltimore OriolesAUGUST 11, 2024 • ASSOCIATED PRESS
Stuck with loss Tuesday Springs (0-1) took the loss Tuesday as the Rays were downed 4-3 by the Cardinals, giving up four runs on six hits and three walks over five innings. He struck out three.
Impact Making his second start of the season, the southpaw stretched out to 87 pitches (53 strikes) but got too much of the plate at times, serving up two homers including Victor Scott's first career MLB blast. Springs hasn't yet found the form he flashed in 2022 prior to Tommy John surgery, and he faces a tough test in his next outing, which is scheduled to come at home this weekend against the Orioles.

Shakes off rust in 2024 debut Springs didn't factor into the decision Tuesday against Miami, allowing two runs on six hits and one walk across 3.2 innings. He struck out three.
Impact Springs made his first MLB start since undergoing Tommy John surgery in April of 2023 and threw 76 pitches. The 31-year-old surrendered a two-run home run to Emmanuel Rivera in the first inning but kept the Marlins from adding more runs following the blast. Springs' day came to an end in the fourth frame when back-to-back singles by Nick Gordon and Nick Fortes loaded the bases with two outs, prompting manager Kevin Cash to turn to the bullpen. Springs is tentatively scheduled to start Tuesday in St. Louis.

Reinstated off IL The Rays reinstated Springs (elbow) from the 60-day injured list Sunday.
Impact Springs is set to start on Tuesday against the Marlins, per Ryan Bass of Bally Sports Sun, which will be the left-hander's first major-league outing since undergoing Tommy John surgery in April of 2023. In his last full season in 2022, he went 9-5 over 25 starts with a 2.46 ERA, 1.07 WHIP and 144:31 K:BB across 135.1 innings.

Taking over Eflin's rotation spot Springs (elbow) will throw a bullpen session Sunday and then will make a start with the Rays either Tuesday or Wednesday, MLB.com reports.
Impact Springs has made eight rehab outings, most recently building up to five innings in a start July 25. Assuming things go well with his bullpen session Sunday, he'll be set for his first big-league appearance since April of 2023. The Rays may monitor Springs' innings due to his lengthy layoff, but he'll claim Zach Eflin's vacancy in the rotation.
JULY 27, 2024 • ROTOWIRE
Set for another rehab start Springs (elbow) is expected to cover five innings in his next rehab start with Triple-A Durham during the upcoming week, MLB.com reports.
Impact Springs will require at least one more tune-up outing in the minors after he most recently made the 10th start of his rehab assignment Saturday with Triple-A Durham. He struck out three over three innings and gave up two earned runs on four hits and one walk, tossing just 48 pitches after a rain delay cut his start short. Per MLB.com, the Rays are evaluating Springs' readiness to return from the 60-day injured list on a start-to-start basis, but if he's able to cover five innings efficiently in his upcoming outing with Durham, he could get the green light to make his 2024 debut with the big club. The Rays already have a rotation spot available for the taking with Ryan Pepiot (knee) landing on the 15-day IL on Sunday.

Set for rehab start Saturday Springs (elbow) will make a rehab start with Triple-A Durham on Saturday, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.
Impact In his last rehab outing July 14, Springs gave up five runs (four earned) on eight hits and one walk while striking out three across 4.2 innings. While it was the worst outing of his rehab stint, he was able to toss 77 pitches (51 strikes), and he appears to be nearing the end of his recovery from Tommy John surgery. After converting to a full-time starter for the Rays in May of 2022, Springs posted a 9-5 record over 25 starts with a 2.46 ERA, 1.07 WHIP and 144:31 K:BB across 135.1 frames.

Tosses 77 pitches in rehab start Springs (elbow) covered 4.2 innings in his rehab start Sunday with Triple-A Durham, giving up five runs (four earned) on eight hits and one walk while striking out three batters.
Impact After turning in a 3.12 ERA and 21:1 K:BB in 17.1 innings over his first six rehab starts with Durham, Springs took a step back Sunday from a performance standpoint. More importantly, however, Springs tossed 77 pitches (51 strikes) in the outing, so he looks to be stretched out enough to rejoin the Tampa Bay rotation. The Rays have yet to offer an official word on the next step for the 31-year-old lefty as he nears the finish line in his recovery from his April 2023 Tommy John surgery, but fantasy managers in deeper leagues should be looking to stash Springs in anticipation of his return from the 60-day injured list shortly after the All-Star break. After moving into a full-time starting role with Tampa Bay beginning in May 2022, Springs delivered a 2.41 ERA, 1.03 WHIP and 21.9 K-BB% over 138.1 innings before requiring elbow surgery.
