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.
Análisis
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.

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

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.
Análisis
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.
