Jeffrey Springs DVOA, Advanced Stats, & Fantasy Rankings

Athletics' left-hander Jeffrey Springs was excellent on Sunday against the San Francisco Giants, firing 84 pitches over 6 innings, allowing two hits, one earned run, and five strikeouts as he walked away with the no-decision as the Athletics bullpen blew the lead in the bottom of the eight inning to lost 3-2. That is back-to-back quality starts for Springs. He had another one against the Los Angeles Dodgers earlier in the week on Tuesday. The productive Week 7 lowered Springs' ERA to 3.91 on the season, and he has a 41:21 K:BB ratio in 53 innings pitched. Next up for Springs is a tough outing at home against the Philadelphia Phillies. Fantasy managers may want to consider sitting him, as he owns a 6.30 ERA at home and a 2.45 ERA on the road as the Athletics play at their interim field, Sutter Health Park.

Athletics starting pitcher Jeffrey Springs was impressive on the mound during Thursday's game against the Texas Rangers. Springs had seemingly no issues on the mound outside of a jam in the fifth inning that he escaped with no damage. He finished his day with six innings, two hits allowed, while striking out one batter in the win. Somehow, Springs was able to pitch this well while only striking out one batter throughout the entire outing. The A's decided to pull him from the contest after 68 pitches, but he probably could've pitched longer. His next start will come against the Seattle Mariners next week. Springs is worth a look in deep leagues, but the lack of strikeouts does limit his value.

Athletics left-hander Jeffrey Springs (hamstring) has been cleared to make his next start on Saturday in Sacramento against the visiting Chicago White Sox. Springs' last start on Sunday against the Milwaukee Brewers was cut short in the third inning when he dealt with tightness in his right hamstring. The injury turned out to be nothing serious for the 32-year-old veteran southpaw, though, so he won't need to miss a turn through the A's rotation. It hasn't been the best start for Springs in his first year with the A's, as he's gone 3-2 with a 5.64 ERA (5.17 FIP) and 1.66 WHIP with 23 strikeouts and 14 walks over his first five starts covering 22 1/3 frames. Since going six shutout innings with a season-high nine K's in his first start in 2025 against Seattle, Springs has allowed at least three earned runs in each of his last four starts. It hasn't been pretty, but he'll be worth a look as a streamer in fantasy on Saturday against Chicago.
