After Week 1 of the fantasy baseball season, we're starting to see some strong starts out of veteran pitchers. Some we should certainly expect given their career trajectories (Nathan Eovaldi), but some also may be a bit more of a shock (Martin Perez).But it's not just about these pitchers returning to dominance in a familiar way. They've reinvented themselves and are getting better results because of it. Whether it's simply pitch mix or a new weapon in their arsenal, it's led to success here in ...

Texas Rangers starting pitcher Nathan Eovaldi said he dealt with a "mechanical issue" during his last start on June 20 against the Chicago White Sox that led to a drop in velocity. Eovaldi went six innings in that game and allowed four runs on five hits (two homers) while walking two and striking out four. Despite the drop in velocity, the 33-year-old right-hander said he felt fine physically, and the Rangers moved up his next start from Monday against the Detroit Tigers to Sunday against the ...

Texas Rangers starting pitcher Nathan Eovaldi twirled another scoreless gem on Sunday. The right-hander was scratched by just one hit over six innings with seven strikeouts en route to his eighth win of the year as the team sunk the Seattle Mariners 12-3. The 33-year-old is firing on all cylinders right now and added to what has become perhaps baseball's most dazzling pitching journey of 2023 thus far. Eovaldi has notched five scoreless starts of at least five innings including two shutouts ...

Texas Rangers starting pitcher Nathan Eovaldi continued to deal in Tuesday's 6-1 win over the Pirates. Eovaldi pitched all nine innings, giving up six hits and a walk with five strikeouts. The 33-year-old has had an excellent start to his Rangers tenure, going 6-2 with a 2.60 ERA, 8.57 K/9 rate, and 1.43BB/9 rate in 10 starts. While pitching has been quite variable this season, Eovaldi has served as a consistent source of production for fantasy managers. He should be able to continue that trend...

Texas Rangers right-hander Nathan Eovaldi is scheduled to start Tuesday to face Rich Hill and the Pittsburgh Pirates. The 33-year-old is on a stellar run, tossing six consecutive quality starts, and owns a 2.83 ERA, 0.99 WHIP, 26.2% strikeout rate, and 4.3% walk rate with five victories over nine games. Fantasy managers have to start Eovaldi whenever they can, and the Pirates aren't too big of a task, as they're running about a league average .724 OPS as a club.

Texas Rangers right-handed pitcher Nathan Eovaldi continued his dominant stretch on Thursday, picking up his third consecutive win in a 4-0 shutout over the Oakland Athletics. The flamethrower threw 8 innings of dominant ball, allowing just three hits and a walk while striking out a career-high 12. He has now gone at least 8 innings in his last three starts and has allowed zero runs in all three games. He now owns a 5-2 record to go with a 2.70 ERA, 0.99 WHIP, and 56 strikeouts over 53 IP. ...

Texas Rangers pitcher Nathan Eovaldi had another tremendous showing against the Angels on Saturday, firing eight scoreless innings with five strikeouts in the triumph. After Eovaldi went the distance for a shutout during his last start against his former Yankees team, the 33-year-old twirled another gem on 107 pitches in this one. The right-handed hurler hasn't surrendered a run in his last 17 innings now, improving his ERA to a solid 3.22 figure over his last four starts after struggling to a ...

Texas Rangers starting pitcher Nathan Eovaldi is scheduled to make his sixth start of the season on Saturday against Jhony Brito and the New York Yankees. The results haven't been there yet in 2023, as he owns a 5.20 ERA and 1.41 WHIP. Better things are likely coming, though, considering Eovaldi's 26.3% strikeout rate and 4.2% walk rate while he's been able to limit the home runs (0.33 HR/9). Fantasy managers should continue starting the 33-year-old, even against the Yankees, as he tries to ...

Texas Rangers starting pitcher Nathan Eovaldi (side) is likely to be on a pitch count early in the 2023 regular season, according to manager Bruce Bochy. Eovaldi is recovering from left-side tightness in spring training and will likely be limited to 75-80 pitches to open the regular season as the Rangers take a conservative approach with him. It makes sense, given that the 33-year-old right-hander was limited to only 20 starts with the Boston Red Sox in 2022 due to various injuries. His ...
