Turns in scoreless outing Springs allowed four hits over 4.2 shutout frames in Sunday's win over Toronto. He struck out two and did not factor in the decision.

Impact The closest Springs came to allowing a run was in the third inning when he faced a first-and-third threat with two outs before forcing Vladimir Guerrero to fly out. The 6-foot-3 southpaw lowered his season ERA to 1.66 with an impressive 20:3 K:BB through 21.2 innings. He's currently lined up to take the mound in Baltimore next weekend.

Falls to Angels Springs (1-1) took the loss Monday as the Rays were downed 11-3 by the Angels, allowing three runs on three hits over four innings. He struck out four.

Impact Making his second start of the season, the southpaw kept the Angels off the board for three frames before serving up a three-run shot to Jared Walsh with two outs in the fourth. Springs got the hook after 57 pitches (41 strikes), and while his 2.12 ERA, 0.76 WHIP and 18:3 K:BB through 17 innings on the season are all strong numbers, his fantasy value will be limited in the rotation until he gets stretched out a little more and can last long enough to qualify for a win.

Moving into rotation Springs is slated to start or work behind an opener as a primary pitcher in Monday's game in Seattle, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

Impact He'll be moving into the rotation as a replacement for Josh Fleming, who was demoted to Triple-A Durham on Saturday. Springs has gotten off to a hot start out of the Tampa Bay bullpen this season, turning in a 0.69 ERA, 0.77 WHIP and 14:3 K:BB across 13 innings. In his most recent relief appearance Tuesday against the Athletics, Springs built up to 31 pitches over 3.1 scoreless innings. Expect him to be capped around 50 pitches in Monday's appearance, and it could take him an additional two or three outings after that to get stretched out enough to handle a traditional starter's workload.

Decent as opener Springs opened and allowed a run on three hits in 2.2 innings while striking out three in a 2-1 win Thursday over Seattle. He did not factor into the decision.

Impact Springs served as the opener and lasted a season-best 2.2 innings. He allowed a two-out triple in the first inning but otherwise shut down the Mariners. It was the first appearance for the lefty in five days, following a stint on the COVID-19 injured list. He's been highly effective in the early going for the Rays, accumulating a 0.93 ERA and 0.83 WHIP while striking out 12 in 9.2 innings.

Opening Thursday's game Springs will serve as the opener Thursday against the Mariners, radio broadcaster Steve Carney reports.

Impact Springs has thrown seven scoreless innings to begin the season, though he has never pitched more than two frames in an appearance. He'll almost certainly be capped at a pair of innings in Thursday's start as a result. Jalen Beeks is a strong candidate to follow Springs in a bulk relief role, though that has not formally been announced by the team.
