No-decision in return Springs pitched 5.2 innings allowing two runs on five hits and three walks and had a no-decision in the 9-7 loss to the Royals on Wednesday. He struck out one.

Impact Springs spent the minimum amount of days on the 15-day injured list for right hip discomfort and returned Wednesday with a solid 85-pitch effort. The left-hander surprisingly tossed his longest outing since May 22, even coming off the injury, but failed to break his 11-game losing streak. The 33-year-old is slated to pitch next week against Minnesota.

Athletics bring back LHP Jeffrey Springs from a hip injury to start at Kansas City

The Athletics activated left-hander Jeffrey Springs from the 15-day injured list

Makes return from 15-day IL The Athletics reinstated Springs (hip) from the 15-day injured list Wednesday.

Impact Though the Athletics have yet to officially announce a starter for Wednesday's game in Kansas City, the club's decision to activate Springs signals that he'll take the hill for the penultimate game of the series with the Royals. Springs spent just over the minimum 15 days on the shelf while recovering from right hip discomfort and was cleared to rejoin the Athletics after covering three innings and tossing 59 pitches in his lone rehab start with Single-A Stockton last week. He'll likely be operating with a light workload restriction in his return to big-league rotation, though he hadn't reached six innings in any of his 11 appearances prior to landing on the shelf.

Impact Though the team hasn't confirmed when Springs will slot into the rotation, he'll most likely take the hill either Wednesday or Thursday in Kansas City. Springs landed on the IL on Aug. 4 due to right hip discomfort but was able to restart a throwing program a day later. He reported to Single-A Stockton and made his lone rehab start Friday, tossing 59 pitches (41 strikes) while recording four punchouts and allowing five hits and no walks over three innings. Springs may have a light cap on his pitch count in his return to the Athletics, though fantasy managers may want to avoid streaming him in any case after he submitted a 6.17 ERA and 1.48 WHIP over 108 innings in 22 starts prior to hitting the IL.

Makes rehab start Friday Springs (hip) allowed three runs (one earned) on five hits and no walks with four strikeouts over three innings with Single-A Stockton on Friday.

Impact Springs returned to game action for the first time since landing on the injured list Aug. 4 due to right hip discomfort, throwing 41 of 59 pitches for strikes. It remains to be seen if he'll make another rehab appearance before returning to the active roster, though the southpaw's poor results this year don't guarantee he'll reclaim a spot in the starting rotation. In 22 starts this season, Springs has posted a 3-11 record with a 6.17 ERA, 1.48 WHIP and 88:44 K:BB across 108 innings.

Logs bullpen session Tuesday Springs (hip) completed a bullpen session Tuesday, per MLB.com.

Impact Springs came out of the session feeling healthy, with the Athletics still determining the next step in his recovery. The veteran southpaw landed on the injured list Aug. 4 due to right hip discomfort, retroactive to Aug. 1. Before hitting the shelf, Springs struggled to a 3-11 record with a 6.17 ERA, 1.48 WHIP and 88:44 K:BB across 108 innings (22 starts) this season.

Throwing again after hitting IL Springs (hip) was able to restart a throwing program Wednesday after landing on the 15-day injured list Tuesday, MLB.com reports.

Impact The Athletics placed Springs on the shelf due to a fatigued right hip, an injury that's been plaguing him throughout the season. An MRI on the hip returned negative for an acute injury, and the fact that Springs is already throwing again seemingly indicates that he didn't suffer any sort of major setback coming out of his most recent start Friday and may have just been placed on the IL for the purpose of getting a reset. Though Springs could be physically ready to go when first eligible to return from the IL on Aug. 16, the Athletics won't have much incentive to rush him back or guarantee him a rotation spot once he returns. The veteran southpaw has posted a bloated 6.17 ERA and 1.48 WHIP this season and will likely be headed for free agency this winter, as the Athletics hold a $15 million club option on his contract for 2027 that they will almost certainly decline.

AUGUST 4 • Associated Press

Lands on injured list The Athletics placed Springs on the 15-day injured list Tuesday, retroactive to Aug. 1, due to right hip discomfort.

Impact It's not clear when the injury surfaced for Springs, but he last pitched Friday against the Tigers and gave up two runs on four hits and five walks over four innings. The left-hander will be eligible to be reinstated Aug. 16 but is without an official timeline for his return.

AUGUST 4 • ROTOWIRE

Walks five in 11th loss Springs (3-11) took the loss Friday versus the Tigers, allowing two runs on four hits and five walks over four innings in a 13-1 defeat. He struck out two.

Impact Springs exited his previous start last weekend due to hip discomfort, but he was able to make his next turn through the rotation. The left-hander didn't show much command Friday, as he set a season high in walks while throwing just 44 of 86 pitches for strikes. Springs has surrendered at least one home run in five straight starts and has a 9.13 ERA, 1.90 WHIP and 15:20 K:BB over 23.2 innings during that stretch. His 11 losses this season tie him with Tanner Bibee for the most in the majors.

AUGUST 1 • ROTOWIRE

Confirmed to start Friday Springs (hip) is listed as the Athletics' probable starting pitcher for Friday's game against the Tigers in Sacramento.

Impact The left-hander exited his previous start Sunday in Minnesota midway through the second inning due to right discomfort, but he was apparently able to navigate his between-starts throwing program without issue and will return to the hill on four days' rest. Returning to the bump at hitter-friendly Sutter Health Park, Springs won't be a recommended lineup option in the vast majority of fantasy leagues. He hasn't delivered a quality start since May 17 and has gone 0-6 with an 8.82 ERA and 1.73 WHIP in his subsequent 11 outings.
