Springs (5-4) took the loss against the Blue Jays on Friday, allowing six runs on six hits and six walks while striking out two over two innings.
EDGE Analysis
Springs was able to keep the Blue Jays off the board in the first inning, but he proceeded to yield three runs in each of the second and third. He tossed 72 pitches (41 strikes) and could not escape the third inning for just the second time this season (12 starts). Springs has a 4.72 ERA and 1.38 WHIP across 61 innings this season, which are fourth and eighth most, respectively, among qualified American League pitchers. He'll look to get back on track in his next start, tentatively slated for next week at home against Minnesota.

Springs allowed four runs (three earned) on four hits and two walks while striking out six over six innings in a no-decision Saturday versus the Phillies.
EDGE Analysis
Springs turned in a baseline quality start, thanks to the Phillies' first run being unearned. He also gave up solo shots to Alec Bohm and Kyle Schwarber later in the contest. Springs has given up eight runs (seven earned) over 30.2 innings in May, an all-around strong month. He's now at a 3.97 ERA, 1.22 WHIP and 47:23 K:BB through 59 innings over 11 starts. Springs' next start is projected to be on the road versus the Blue Jays.

Springs allowed a run on two hits and struck out five without walking a batter over 6.2 innings in a no-decision versus the Giants on Sunday.
EDGE Analysis
Aside from a Heliot Ramos solo shot to lead off the bottom of the first inning, Springs was nearly untouchable Sunday, though the same can't be said of the Athletics' bullpen. Springs has been fantastic in May, allowing just four runs over 24.2 innings despite a pedestrian 14:5 K:BB. This was his fifth quality start in 10 outings this season, and he's maintained a 3.91 ERA, 1.25 WHIP and 41:21 K:BB over 53 innings. The southpaw's next start is projected to be at home versus the Phillies.

Springs (5-3) allowed a run on six hits and two walks while striking out four over seven innings to earn the win Tuesday over the Dodgers.
EDGE Analysis
Springs put together his longest outing of the season and looked excellent against a tough opponent. This is the third time in nine starts he's limited an opponent to one run or less. The left-hander trimmed his ERA to 4.27 with a 1.38 WHIP and 36:21 K:BB across 46.1 innings over nine starts. Springs' performance isn't at his peak yet -- he's striking out batters at a career-worst rate (7.0 K/9), and his 4.1 BB/9 is his highest since 2019. Still, he's getting the job done despite the flaws. Springs is tentatively projected for a road start versus the Giants this weekend.

Springs allowed two runs on five hits and two walks while striking out four over five innings in a no-decision versus the Mariners on Tuesday.
EDGE Analysis
Springs gave up a run in each of the first two innings, including a solo home run to Julio Rodriguez in the opening frame. The Athletics provided a quick response each time, and Springs left with the game tied at 2-2. He wasn't all that efficient, throwing 60 of 98 pitches for strikes, but he fared well against a challenging lineup. Springs has a 4.81 ERA, 1.42 WHIP and 32:19 K:BB across 39.1 innings eight starts. He's been limited to a combined 49 innings and 10 starts at the major-league level over the last two seasons after undergoing Tommy John surgery in 2023, so it's unclear how he'll fare over the course of a full season. Springs is tentatively scheduled for a difficult road start versus the Dodgers in his next outing.

Springs (4-3) earned the win against the Rangers on Thursday, allowing two hits and one walk while striking out one over six scoreless innings.
EDGE Analysis
Springs ran into a bit of trouble in the fifth inning with runners on second and third, but he struck out Tucker Barnhart to escape the frame unscathed. Springs faced the minimum number of batters in four of six innings, tossing just 68 pitches (45 strikes) while inducing 12 fly balls. Thursday marked his third quality start of the season and second six-frame shutout. Springs is in line to face the Mariners at home next week.

Springs (3-3) took the loss Saturday against the White Sox, allowing seven runs (five earned) on seven hits and two walks over six innings. He struck out four.
EDGE Analysis
The 32-year-old southpaw was unsteady out the gate against the lowly White Sox, who managed to lace four extra-base hits (one homer and three doubles) in the first inning. Springs was unable to recover from there, but he tossed 100 total pitches to absorb innings for the bullpen. Springs has floundered in his first season with the Athletics, pitching to a 6.04 ERA, 1.62 WHIP and 27:16 K:BB across 28.1 innings. He currently lines up to make his next start at Texas this upcoming week.

Springs (hamstring) is listed as the Athletics' scheduled starting pitcher for Saturday's game against the White Sox in Sacramento.
EDGE Analysis
Springs exited in the third inning Sunday against the Brewers due to right hamstring tightness, but follow-up testing didn't turn up anything concerning. After completing his between-starts bullpen session without incident, Springs will be ready to take the hill on five days' rest. Acquired from the Rays in the offseason, Springs has gotten off to a rough start to his tenure with the Athletics, going 3-2 with a 5.64 ERA, 1.66 WHIP and 8.7 K-BB% in 22.1 innings through his first five outings.
