Eovaldi has been scratched from his scheduled start Sunday versus Detroit due to tightness in his back, Kennedi Landry of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Sunday was slated to be a marquee pitching matchup between Eovaldi and the Tigers' Tarik Skubal, but that duel won't happen. Instead, the Rangers have tabbed Jacob Latz to start opposite Detroit's ace. Eovaldi had an IL stint in June due to a triceps injury, and he has made four starts since being activated June 27. It's not yet clear if another trip to the injured list could be on the table for Eovaldi due to the back issue.

Eovaldi (7-3) picked up the win Sunday against Houston, allowing one run on five hits and one walk over 7.2 innings. He struck out seven.
EDGE Analysis
Eovaldi has been dominant this season, allowing no more than three runs in an outing. He's stepped up his game even more in July, yielding two runs (one earned) on 12 hits and two walks with 18 strikeouts across three starts. Sunday's appearance marked Eovaldi's first time pitching more than six innings since a month-long stay on the injured list that sidelined him for almost all of June. The 35-year-old has a 1.58 ERA entering the All-Star break. He hasn't posted an ERA below 3.63 in his career.

Eovaldi (6-3) earned the win Tuesday against the Angels, giving up one unearned run on five hits and no walks in six innings. He struck out six.
EDGE Analysis
With the Rangers jumping out to a 9-0 lead in the fifth inning, Eovaldi pounded the zone for 55 strikes among his 72 pitches. The veteran right-hander hasn't reached the 80-pitch mark in any of his last three outings since coming off the injured list, although Texas did have the luxury of affording him some extra rest with Tuesday's contest getting out of hand anyway. Eovaldi will bring a spectacular 1.62 ERA, 0.85 WHIP and 86:13 K:BB over 83.1 frames into his next appearance, which is slated for this weekend in a stiff matchup against the division-rival Astros in Houston.

Eovaldi (5-3) recorded the win Wednesday against the Orioles, giving up no runs on two hits and one walk in five scoreless innings. He struck out five.
EDGE Analysis
Eovaldi was making his second start after spending a month on the shelf with a triceps injury, and the Rangers decided to turn to their bullpen following the hurler's 72 pitches while they held a 6-0 lead. It was the veteran right-hander's fifth scoreless outing of at least five frames this season, and he poured in 50 of those pitches for strikes. Eovaldi will try to build up closer to a full workload in his next scheduled appearance against the Angels in Anaheim, where he'll bring a stellar 1.75 ERA, 0.85 WHIP and 80:13 K:BB over 77.1 innings.

Eovaldi took the no-decision after throwing three innings, allowing three runs on five hits and two walks while striking out two, during Friday's 7-6 loss to the Mariners.
EDGE Analysis
Eovaldi made his first start in exactly a month after his last appearance in late May, and it came with mixed results. The 35-year-old lasted just three innings, 45 pitches and surrendered three runs in the process, tied for the most runs allowed in a start all season. It will definitely take some building back up for the right-hander to get where he was before the injury, and that was one of the best pitchers in the game, sporting a 1.56 ERA. Assuming no setbacks, Eovaldi is set to face the Orioles in his next appearance.

The Rangers reinstated Eovaldi (triceps) from the 15-day injured list to start Friday's game against the Mariners.
EDGE Analysis
Eovaldi returns from the injured list without going on a rehab assignment. The 35-year-old threw 50 pitches in three simulated innings last week. While he may not reach his typical pitch count, Eovaldi doesn't appear to be facing any major restrictions. Prior to sustaining the injury, Eovaldi logged a 1.56 ERA across 69.1 innings. His activation will boot Dane Dunning from the 26-man roster.

Eovaldi (triceps) will return from the 15-day injured list to start Friday's game against the Mariners, MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
The Rangers will activate him from the IL a few hours prior to Friday's 8:05 p.m. ET opening pitch. Eovaldi has ben on the shelf since June 1 due to right triceps fatigue, but he's been given the green light to rejoin the Rangers rotation after bypassing a minor-league rehab assignment and instead tossing about 50 pitches over three simulated innings of live batting practice last weekend. He checked out fine after a bullpen session Monday and isn't expected to be operating with any major workload restrictions Friday.

Rangers manager Bruce Bochy said Sunday that Eovaldi (triceps) isn't expected to require a minor-league rehab assignment and should return from the 15-day injured list to make his next start with the big club, Kennedi Landry of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
The Rangers were satisfied with how Eovaldi looked during a 50-pitch, three-inning live session earlier in the weekend and appear confident that he'll be able to pitch at a high level without the need for a minor-league assignment beforehand. Bochy didn't specify which day the Rangers have Eovaldi penciled in for his return to the rotation, but Landry relays that Friday's home game versus the Mariners appears to be the most logical target for the right-hander. Eovaldi could be under somewhat of a limited pitch count in his first start back from the IL, but he likely won't be under any restrictions in his appearances after that.

Eovaldi (triceps) threw around 50 pitches in three simulated innings of live batting practice and could be activated sometime this week, Kennedi Landry of MLB.com reported Friday.
EDGE Analysis
Considering reinstatement is a possibility this week, Eovaldi is likely to skip a rehab assignment. Instead, he's been stretching out by throwing live BP, and he has worked up to 50 pitches. A specific return date hasn't been set, but the Rangers start a three-game road series against the Orioles on Monday and return back to Texas for a three-game homestand Friday.

President of baseball operations Chris Young said Eovaldi (elbow) is "trending in the right direction" after throwing a bullpen session Saturday, Shawn McFarland of The Dallas Morning News reports.
EDGE Analysis
The right-hander is working his way back from triceps soreness, and the next step in his rehab program will likely be facing hitters in live batting practice. Assuming Eovaldi is able to complete a live BP without issue, he'll then be evaluated to determine whether he needs another throwing session and/or a brief rehab assignment before being activated from the 15-day injured list. The Rangers are low on rotation depth after Tyler Mahle (shoulder) was placed on the IL on Sunday, so the team could be inclined to activate Eovaldi even if he's not fully stretched back out for a typical starter's workload.
