The Tampa Bay Rays announced Monday thay reliever Jeffrey Springs will miss the remainder of the 2021 season after undergoing surgery on his right knee to repair a torn anterior cruciate ligament.
Springs suffered the injury on July 31 at home against Boston while trying to field a bunt. He was initially diagnosed with a right knee sprain, but attempts to rehab only brought additional discomfort.
The reliever underwent the procedure this afternoon, performed in St. Petersburg by team doctor Koco Eaton.
