Texas Rangers general manager Chris Young said that starting pitcher Nathan Eovaldi (side) is dealing with "left side tightness" and will not make his next scheduled Cactus League start. It's similar to the injury that Jacob deGrom came into camp with, and the Rangers will play it safe with Eovaldi in the coming week. As long as Eovaldi doesn't have any further setbacks once he starts to throw again, he will have time to get stretched out for Opening Day. The 33-year-old right-hander was ...

The Los Angeles Angels have made several upgrades this offseason and continue to take action. The rotation is their next target, and free-agent right-hander Nathan Eovaldi is a figure of interest. Eovaldi has spent the last five seasons in Boston and served as a critical component of the Red Sox rotation. The 32-year-old commenced just 20 starts in 2022 and spent considerable time on the injured list. He finished with a 3.87 ERA, 103 punchouts, and a 4.30 FIP. Although just a year prior, Eovaldi...

MLB.com's Jon Paul Morosi reported Tuesday that there is "pretty good confidence on the part of a lot of people in baseball" that free-agent starting pitcher Nathan Eovaldi will ultimately re-sign with the Boston Red Sox.
