Springs (knee) is listed among the Rays' available relief options for Thursday's Grapefruit League game against the Twins, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.
The Rays have been easing Springs along slowly in camp while he makes his return from a torn ACL suffered July 31 of last year, but the 29-year-old southpaw has seemingly reached the finish line in his recovery. Springs completed a live batting practice session Monday and is believed to have tested out his surgically repaired knee by fielding bunts over the past two days, which was the final hurdle he needed to clear before being available for games. Assuming he can make at least two or three relief appearances before the Grapefruit League slate comes to a close, Springs should be in good position to break camp as a member of the Rays' Opening Day bullpen.
