Jeffrey Springs Throws 76 Pitches In First Start Tuesday
5 months agoTampa Bay Rays starting pitcher Jeffrey Springs (elbow) had an overall encouraging first start of the season in Tuesday's 9-3 win over the Marlins. Springs, who had been recovering from Tommy John surgery since April of last year, pitched 3 2/3 innings on 76 pitches, allowing two runs on six hits (including a two-run home run) and a walk with three strikeouts. It wasn't the greatest fantasy result, but fantasy managers should be encouraged to see Springs finally back with the team. He may need a few starts to get back into the swing of things, but Springs was a surprise fantasy asset when he pitched a full season in 2022, compiling a 2.46 ERA, a 1.07 WHIP, and a 26.2% strikeout rate in 135 1/3 IP. His next start will likely be a middling matchup at the Cardinals.
