Did Springs pitch at all in the minors?
Answered my own question….He threw 12 innings over 12 appearances. They show as starts even though for 1 inning. Assuming that was one everyone 4 or 5 days it’s 2 months worth.
He's also younger and left handed and has four pitches.
I don't get why folks feel this need to downgrade everyone else to try and make the Orioles look better.
Now we’re facing Jeffrey Springs, who had TJ surgery on 4/24/23. He began his minor league rehab 5/20/24, but Tampa optioned him to the minors when his rehab was up and only recalled him on 7/30/24/. So in his case, 15 months plus a week from surgery to pitching in a big league game.
The 2023 Rays were precursors to the 2024 Orioles, with Springs, Rasmussen and Baz all going down with serious elbow injuries requiring major surgery.
@Warehouse, I stand corrected on the nature of Rasmussen’s surgery.
