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.

Eovaldi (triceps) could be ready to throw a bullpen session this weekend, MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Eovaldi recently began playing catch after undergoing further testing back in Arlington. Rehab appears to be progressing as expected for the right-hander, but he remains without a clear timeline for his return to the Rangers' rotation.

Eovaldi (triceps) played catch prior to Wednesday's game against Minnesota, Jeff Wilson of AllDLLS.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Eovaldi landed on the 15-day injured list May 29 due to a right triceps injury. He's eligible to be reinstated from the IL on Friday, but he may need a longer stint on the shelf given that he's only recently started throwing again. Eovaldi's continued absence could allow Jacob Latz (hand) to make another start when the former's next turn through the rotation comes up Saturday versus the White Sox.

The Rangers placed Eovaldi on the 15-day injured list Sunday due to right posterior elbow inflammation.

EDGE Analysis

Eovaldi experienced right triceps fatigue coming out of his most recent outing Tuesday, but the Rangers were initially optimistic that he would avoid a stint on the IL after getting a few extra days of rest between starts. The right-hander told Kennedi Landry of MLB.com earlier Sunday that he was feeling good after playing catch and hoped to return to the mound Wednesday or Thursday versus the Rays, but the Rangers' brass evidently felt it was better to give him some additional time off. Per Shawn McFarland of The Dallas Morning News, general manager Chris Young reiterated that Eovaldi has nothing structurally wrong with his arm, and the Rangers believe that he'll be able to return from the IL around when he's first eligible June 13. Kumar Rocker (shoulder) is on track to be activated from the IL to start Wednesday.

Manager Bruce Bochy said Friday that Eovaldi (triceps) will have his next turn through the rotation pushed back a few days, Kennedi Landry of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

The veteran right-hander was originally expected to make his next turn through the rotation as scheduled Tuesday after departing his previous start due to triceps soreness, but the Rangers will instead take advantage of Monday's team off day to get him some extra rest. That lines up Eovaldi to pitch during next weekend's three-game set in Washington, giving him at least nine days to recover between outings.

The Rangers announced that Eovaldi (triceps) was removed from Tuesday's game as a precaution and is not expected to miss time due to the issue, Kenndi Landry of MLB.com reports. The pitcher was removed from Tuesday's game after two innings with triceps fatigue.

EDGE Analysis

Eovaldi will be monitored over the coming days, but the plan, for now, is for the right-hander to start next Tuesday in Tampa. It will help that the Rangers are off Thursday and next Monday, which keeps the rotation in order while giving Eovaldi two extra days of rest.
