Rest-of-Season Projections
2024 Fantasy Outlook
Springs was off to a fantastic start in 2023 with 24 strikeouts in 16 innings and one earned run off a solo homer until a precautionary removal of him from a start against Boston led to worse news that he had indeed torn his UCL. He had surgery on April 23rd, which all but rules him out of the first half of the 2024 season. Given the Rays conservative approach with pitchers coming back from injuries like this, take the under on whatever projection the marketplace is putting on his workload. Remember that the last thing that comes back for these pitchers is their command and feel for the baseball, two things that are critical to Springs's success given his lack of pure velocity and his dependency of his changeup. Keeper league managers can try to score a late bargain with him while reset league managers are wasting a draft pick because there are no guarantees Springs pitches effectively once he returns.

Ruled out for rest of season
Rays manager Kevin Cash said Tuesday that Springs (elbow) is feeling better but will not return from the 15-day injured list this season, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.
ANALYSIS
Springs landed on the IL earlier this month with left elbow fatigue, roughly six weeks after he returned to the majors following a long rehab from Tommy John surgery. While Springs' current elbow issue doesn't seem to be overly concerning, the Rays would have little to gain by rushing him back before the regular season concludes.

Past Fantasy Outlooks
2023
2022
2021
Springs began the season in a multi-inning reliever capacity before being used as an opener and then primary pitcher before transitioning into a traditional starter. He started 22 games as the latter, posting a 2.61 ERA and 1.13 WHIP in 113.2 innings with a 26.4% strikeout rate and 6.0% walk rate. His 20.4% would have ranked 11th among qualified starters but Springs didn't collect ample innings. Throwing at least 162 frames this season is plausible as Springs averaged a tick over five innings per game once he became a full-fledged starter. Springs throws a 92-mph four-seamer, a slider, and an 81-mph changeup. Buoyed by a delta over 10-mph from the fastball, the changeup is Springs best pitch as it generated swinging strikes at a 22.6% clip. An 82.3% LOB mark suppressed Springs ERA about half a run, but his success was mostly earned and should be repeatable for a Rays club adept at managing pitching.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Returning after All-Star break
Springs is expected to make a start in Kansas City after the All-Star break, reports Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times.
ANALYSIS
Springs is eligible to return from the injured list July 22 after suffering a lower right leg injury earlier in the month. Tampa Bay begins a three-game series in Kansas City on Friday and Rays manager Kevin Cash says he expects Springs to pitch one of those games. The lefty has been excellent since moving to the rotation in May and has solidified his role as one of Tampa's top starters going into the second half. His 64 innings this season are already a career high and he has thrown over 100 innings just once in his professional baseball career, in 2017 at Single-A. It wouldn't be surprising if the Rays occasionally give him extra rest down the stretch.
