Eovaldi allowed two runs (one earned) on five hits and no walks while striking out three across 4.2 innings Thursday against Baltimore. He did not factor into the decision.

EDGE Analysis

Eovaldi was activated from the injured list Thursday to make his first start since Aug. 12. He was limited to 72 pitches as a result and was largely effective, though he had only six swinging strikes. Eovaldi is projected to draw one more start this season. He's maintained a 4.05 ERA with a 99:18 K:BB across 104.1 frames on the campaign.

Eovaldi (shoulder) was activated from the 15-day injured list Thursday.

EDGE Analysis

After missing just shy of seven weeks with his injury, Eovaldi will return to action and start Thursday against the Orioles. The right-hander threw 57 pitches in his final rehab start, so he likely will not extend too much beyond that Thursday. If all goes well in his first game back, Eovaldi will likely take the ball once more before Boston's season comes to a close.

EDGE Analysis

Boston will likely wait until Thursday to officially reinstate Eovaldi from the 15-day injured list, where he's resided since Aug. 23 due to right shoulder inflammation. The 32-year-old is rejoining the Boston rotation after completing a three-inning rehab start at Triple-A Worcester last weekend, so he'll likely be on a more limited pitch count than usual when he takes the mound Thursday. After his start against the Orioles, Eovaldi should line up for one more outing in 2022 next week before he hits free agency this winter.

EDGE Analysis

Boston's coaching staff met Monday to determine the next steps in Eovaldi's recovery process and ultimately determined that the right-hander is ready to make two more starts for the Red Sox prior to the end of the regular season. He hasn't pitched in the big leagues since Aug. 12 but recently made a rehab appearance at Triple-A Worcester in which he allowed three runs on three hits and two walks while striking out four in three innings.

EDGE Analysis

The Red Sox were expected to decide next steps over the weekend, but Boston manager Alex Cora wants to take an extra day. Eovaldi hurled three innings Friday in a rehab start for Triple-A Worcester, during which the right-hander was mechanically off and gave up three hits, two walks and three runs. Cora said the pitcher was fine health-wise.

EDGE Analysis

Eovaldi threw 57 pitches (35 strikes) Friday after a 65-pitch simulated game to start the week. That puts him in line for a potential start in the majors before the season's end. The Red Sox will decide this weekend whether Eovaldi's next start will be for Boston. The right-hander last pitched for the Red Sox on Aug. 12.

Eovaldi (shoulder) will make a rehab start Friday with Triple-A Worcester, Joe McDonald of the Worcester Telegram & Gazette reports.

EDGE Analysis

The veteran right-hander threw 65 pitches over four innings during a simulated game Sunday and will now head to the minors for a rehab outing. Given Eovaldi should continue building up his workload Friday, and if all goes well with Worcester he should be able to rejoin Boston's rotation next week.

Eovaldi (shoulder) threw four innings and 65 pitches in Sunday's simulated game and looked good, according to manager Alex Cora, Steve Hewitt of the Boston Herald reports.

EDGE Analysis

The next step for Eovaldi is to be determined, but it seems like he could rejoin the rotation next week if the Red Sox want to go that route. If he does return next week, he would line up to pitch next weekend in Yankee Stadium.

Eovaldi (shoulder) will throw another live BP on Sunday, Chris Cotillo of The Springfield Republican reports.

EDGE Analysis

Eovaldi threw three innings of live batting practice Tuesday and will face hitters once again in a controlled environment this weekend. It's still possible that the right-hander requires a rehab assignment after Sunday's throwing session, and the Red Sox have emphasized that they don't intend to rush him back.

Eovaldi (shoulder) threw three innings of live batting practice Tuesday, the Red Sox' official site reports. "Yeah, he went three [innings]. That's a good sign," Red Sox manager Alex Cora said. "Now we'll just have to wait and see how he reacts to it and we'll decide what we're going to do."

EDGE Analysis

Cora indicated the goal was for Eovaldi to pitch two innings, but the right-hander felt good and kept pitching. Once he's evaluated Wednesday, Eovaldi could make a rehab start in the minors as early as this weekend.
