Jeffrey Springs was ineffective again while allowing six runs over 3 2/3 innings, but he didn’t factor into the decision Friday against the Angels.

Springs continues to struggle, and with the Athletics (somehow) in playoff contention, one has to wonder if his rotation spot could be in jeopardy. He’s now allowed 21 runs over his last four starts, and he’s sporting an ugly 5.35 ERA on the campaign that shows it hasn’t just been the last month. He’ll try and get back on track against the Giants next week in San Francisco, but to say he’s off the fantasy radar right now is quite the understatement.
