Eovaldi (2-2) picked up the win Friday, allowing three hits and a walk over six scoreless innings in a 2-0 victory over the Giants. He struck out seven.
EDGE Analysis
The right-hander got just enough offense to get into the win column for the first time since April 1, and Eovaldi needed 99 pitches (61 strikes) to record his fourth quality start in six trips to the mound. Eovaldi has yet to give up more than three runs in a start this season, and he'll take a 2.21 ERA, 0.74 WHIP and dazzling 38:3 K:BB through 36.2 innings into his next outing, which lines up to come at home next week against the A's.

Eovaldi did not factor into the decision in Saturday's 4-3 win over the Dodgers, allowing three runs (two earned) on five hits while striking out seven across six innings. He did not issue a walk.
EDGE Analysis
Eovaldi started out strongly by retiring 10 of the first 11 batters faced (including four strikeouts). He gave up three runs in the fourth frame -- two of which came on a two-run homer from Freddie Freeman -- but Eovaldi bounced back to retire the side in the fifth and sixth innings. Eovaldi has given up three earned runs or less in each of his five starts this season, and his 0.75 WHIP is second best in the majors behind Kevin Gausman (0.71). Eovaldi will look to earn his second win of the season in his next start, tentatively slated for next weekend on the road against the Giants.

Eovaldi (1-2) allowed three runs (two earned) on five hits while striking out five in five innings in a loss to the Mariners on Sunday.
EDGE Analysis
Eovaldi got off to a rough start by allowing a two-run homer to Cal Raleigh in the opening frame. From there, he was able to settle in and retire 14 of the next 15 hitters he faced. Eovaldi was sent back out for the sixth but failed to record an out and was eventually replaced by Hoby Milner with the based loaded. Eovaldi has now failed to go more than five innings in consecutive starts. He's also hit four batters and has just seven strikeouts after compiling a 17:0 K:BB in his first two starts of the year. Eovaldi will look to bounce back his next time out when the Dodgers come to town for a weekend series.

Eovaldi (1-1) took the loss Monday against the Cubs after allowing three runs on four hits and two walks in 4.2 innings. He struck out four.
EDGE Analysis
After throwing a complete-game shutout in his last time out against the Reds, Eovaldi was not nearly as sharp on a cold and windy Monday night at Wrigley Field. Miguel Amaya hit a sacrifice fly for a second-inning run, Ian Happ plated another on a fielder's choice during the third frame and Michael Busch ripped an RBI triple to bring home an inherited runner after Eovaldi was lifted in the fifth. The veteran right-hander still sports a 2.29 ERA, 0.66 WHIP and 21:2 K:BB ahead of his next scheduled start, which lines up to come against the Mariners at pitcher-friendly T-Mobile Park this weekend.

Eovaldi (1-0) allowed four hits and struck out eight in a complete game shutout win over the Reds on Tuesday.
EDGE Analysis
Eovaldi was remarkably efficient Tuesday, firing 70 of 99 pitches for strikes en route to the first Maddux of the 2025 MLB season. He retired the first 12 batters he faced and did not allow an extra-base hit. Eovaldi generated 18 whiffs, including 10 against his splitter. The veteran righty has been terrific so far, posting a 17:0 K:BB with a 1.20 ERA across 15 frames. Eovaldi will look to keep the momentum going in his next start, which is lined up to be next week against the Cubs in Chicago.

Eovaldi didn't factor into the decision after giving up two runs on three hits in six innings Thursday against Boston. He struck out nine.
EDGE Analysis
It was a strong performance by Eovaldi, who bounced back following a shaky spring training that saw him yield eight runs in 13 Cactus League innings. The veteran right-hander mostly kept the Red Sox bats quiet, but he did allow a Connor Wong single to drive in a run in the third inning and a Wilyer Abreu home run to plate another in the fifth frame. Eovaldi will look to build on this outing in his next scheduled start on the road Tuesday against the Reds, though he may carry more risk in fantasy leagues than usual at the hitter-friendly Great American Ball Park.

Eovaldi allowed one run on two hits and one walk while striking out one over four innings in Friday's spring start against the Angels.
EDGE Analysis
Eovaldi retired the first seven batters he faced and nine of the first 10 over three scoreless innings before getting nicked for a run in his final frame. This was his final Cactus League tune-up and the best of his four spring outings. He finishes the spring with a 5.54 ERA, nine strikeouts and four walks over 13 innings. The right-hander next takes the ball Opening Day against the Red Sox.

The Rangers named Eovaldi as their starter against the Red Sox for Opening Day on March 27.
EDGE Analysis
It'll be the fifth Opening Day start of Eovaldi's career and his second straight for Texas. The veteran right-hander is still getting on track in spring training with seven runs allowed over nine frames, but he's coming off a 2024 campaign that saw him finish with a 3.80 ERA, 1.11 WHIP and 166:42 K:BB across 170.2 innings.

Eovaldi allowed four runs on five hits and two walks while striking out four in Sunday's spring start against the Diamondbacks.
EDGE Analysis
Eovaldi threw a spring-high 75 pitches in his third Cactus League outing. He told Shawn McFarland of the Dallas Morning News he was off mechanically and struggled to locate his fastball. Beyond that, the right-hander said he felt fine and was pleased with his curveball, which elicited seven swing-and-misses (14 thrown) and none were hit into play. Eovaldi believes he knows what went wrong for him Sunday and how to correct it. Nothing has been decreed yet, but Eovaldi is a good bet to start Opening Day.

Eovaldi allowed one run on three hits while striking out three over three innings in Wednesday's spring start against the Guardians.
EDGE Analysis
Eovaldi threw an efficient 31 pitches and came away pleased with the effort after an uneven first Cactus League start. "I felt much better this time around than the last outing," Eovaldi told Shawn McFarland of the Dallas Morning News. "I felt like my command was a lot better and I liked the shapes of my pitches." Eovaldi felt like he rushed pitches during his first outing.
