Evans had a cortisone shot in his elbow recently and is scheduled to resume throwing in the next couple of days, Adam Jude of The Seattle Times reported Friday.

EDGE Analysis

Evans was placed on the injured list Aug. 15 with inflammation in his right elbow, and he received a cortisone shot to address the inflammation. He's close to resuming his throwing progression, but it's unclear how far behind he fell during the shutdown period. Evans shouldn't be expected back until September.

The Mariners placed Evans on the 15-day injured list Friday due to right elbow inflammation.

EDGE Analysis

The right-hander issued a season-high four walks as he gave up three runs (two earned) across four innings Thursday in Baltimore, and he'll now be sidelined for at least the next couple weeks after being diagnosed with elbow inflammation. Evans' may have been set to lose his place in Seattle's rotation regardless of the injury since Bryce Miller (elbow) is nearing his return from the injured list.

Evans (6-5) took the loss Thursday against the Orioles, allowing three runs (two earned) on three hits and four walks over four innings. He struck out one.

EDGE Analysis

Evans struggled with his command Thursday, issuing a season-high four walks in an eventual 5-3 defeat. The 24-year-old Evans had gone 3-1 in his previous four outings, despite posting a mediocre 5.85 ERA in that span. Overall, his ERA sits at 4.37 through 15 starts (78.1 innings) this season with a 1.40 WHIP and 58:30 K:BB. Evans is currently scheduled to face the Phillies on the road his next time out.

Evans (6-4) earned the win Saturday, allowing three runs on three hits and three walks over 5.1 innings against the Rays. He struck out four.

EDGE Analysis

The rookie gave up a first-inning homer to Brandon Lowe but settled in to pitch into the sixth before being lifted for Caleb Ferguson, who surrendered a three-run shot to Junior Caminero that brought home both of Evans' inherited runners. After a strong start to his big-league career, Evans has hit a rough patch, allowing multiple runs in five of his past six outings -- including two six-run performances. For the season, the right-hander holds a 4.36 ERA and 1.39 WHIP over 74.1 innings in 14 starts.

Evans (5-4) picked up the win Sunday against Texas, allowing three runs on five hits and no walks with three strikeouts across five innings.

EDGE Analysis

Evans yielded six runs to the A's in his last start, so Sunday's performance served as a bounce-back. The 24-year-old didn't issue a walk for the first time this season. He's been rather inconsistent lately, yielding six runs in two of his last five starts but allowing three or fewer in each of the other three outings. He has a 4.30 ERA on the season. Evans is expected to face the Rays in his next start.

Evans (4-4) allowed six runs on seven hits and two walks while striking out seven over 4.2 innings to take the loss Tuesday versus the Athletics.

EDGE Analysis

After a couple of decent starts in a row, Evans struggled heavily in this contest, allowing two home runs among the seven hits. The six runs allowed match his season high, and he's walked multiple batters in four straight starts. He's allowed 15 runs over 18.1 innings in that span, raising his ERA to 4.22 with a 1.44 WHIP and 50:23 K:BB through 64 innings across 12 starts overall. If Evans continues to struggle, he could be sent back to Triple-A Tacoma, especially if the Mariners pursue a starting pitcher before Thursday's trade deadline. Should Evans remain in the majors, he's projected to start at home versus the Rangers this weekend.

Evans (4-3) earned the win Thursday against the Angels after allowing one run on three hits and three walks over five innings. He struck out three.

EDGE Analysis

Evans threw just 45 of 79 pitches for strikes and tied a season high with three walks, but he otherwise scattered a double and three singles to limit the Angels to one first-inning run. The 24-year-old picked up his first victory since May 27, though that covered only a span of five starts as he spent most of June in the minors. Through his first 11 big-league outings, Evans has a 3.64 ERA, 1.40 WHIP and 43:21 K:BB across 59.1 innings.

Evans allowed two runs on six hits and three walks while striking out five over four-plus innings in a no-decision versus the Astros on Saturday.

EDGE Analysis

Evans wasn't efficient enough, needing 88 pitches (53 strikes) for this start. He was still better than Houston starter Lance McCullers, but Evans has now failed to complete five frames in consecutive outings. He's at a 3.81 ERA, 1.42 WHIP and 40:18 K:BB through 54.1 innings over 10 starts to begin his major-league career. Evans is tentatively expected to make his next start on the road versus the Angels, though more shaky performances could lead to him being demoted to Triple-A Tacoma for another starter at some point.

Evans (3-3) took the loss as the Mariners fell 9-6 to the Yankees on Wednesday, surrendering six runs on nine hits and two walks over 4.2 innings. He struck out two.

EDGE Analysis

Jazz Chisholm had the right-hander's number in this one, launching a solo shot off Evans in the third inning before connecting on a two-run blast in the fifth that helped chase him from the game. It's only the second time in his first nine MLB starts that Evans has served up multiple long balls, and he'll head into the All-Star break with a 3.75 ERA, 1.35 WHIP and 35:15 K:BB through 50.1 innings.

Evans is slated to start Wednesday's game against the Yankees in New York, Max Goodman of NJ.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Evans will be making his second straight turn through the Seattle rotation after he was summoned from Triple-A Tacoma last week to replace the struggling Emerson Hancock, who was demoted to the minors. In his first big-league appearance since June 10 this past Thursday, Evans took a no-decision in the Mariners' 3-2 loss to the Royals while striking out three over 5.2 shutout innings. Evans owns a mediocre 17.4 percent strikeout rate over eight starts with Seattle this season, but he's thus far pitched to a 2.96 ERA and 1.25 WHIP over 45.2 innings. Provided he can avoid any major blowups in future starts, the rookie right-hander should hold down a spot in the Seattle rotation until Bryce Miller (elbow) is ready to return from the injured list.
