Left-handed starter Jeffrey Springs (31) of the Tampa Bay Rays is scheduled to leave for a long time.

‘Tampa Bay Times’ reported on the 19th (Korean time) that Springs is scheduled to undergo Tommy John surgery.

Recovery from Tommy John surgery varies from case to case,메이저사이트 but it usually takes 12 to 15 months. For Springs, the best-case scenario will be a return in the first half of the 2024 season.

Springs felt something wrong with his arm while pitching in a home game against the Boston Red Sox on the 14th and went down the mound.

The initial diagnosis was said to be a nerve problem, but the Rays team announced that day as the reason for being placed on the injured list as an elbow flexor sprain injury.

Having previously been examined by the club’s attending physician, Dr. Coco Eaton, he chose to receive a second opinion. And he appears to have been diagnosed as needing surgery at the second opinion.

Springs moved to Tampa Bay through a trade from the Boston Red Sox in February 2021.

During the three seasons after the transfer, he pitched 196 innings in 79 games with a 2.53 ERA and 16 wins and 6 losses.

In particular, last season, he switched to starting mid-season and successfully settled in the starting rotation. He went 9-5 with a 2.46 earned run average in 135 1/3 innings in 33 games.

This season, he was fighting hard with 16 innings and 1 run (0.56 ERA) in three appearances, but he was caught up in an injury.
