Jeffrey Springs Not Facing Any Restrictions In 2025
Athletics left-hander Jeffrey Springs (elbow) isn't expected to have any workload restrictions almost two years removed from Tommy John surgery in 2023, according to manager Mark Kotsay. The 32-year-old southpaw is feeling like himself again and is excited for his opportunity with his new team in 2025. "Physically, I feel good. I can pick it up. I can let it eat. I can do everything and there's no second-guessing. There's no pain or anything I had to deal with for the last two years," Springs said. Kotsay expects Springs to make 30-plus starts in his first season with the A's after returning late in the year for the Rays in 2024 to post a 3.27 ERA and 1.36 WHIP with 37 strikeouts and 11 walks in seven starts. He was developing as a front-line starter with Tampa before his elbow injury, but he's also on the wrong side of 30 and has exceeded 50 innings in the big leagues just once.
