Eovaldi (elbow) threw a simulated game Tuesday, Chris Cotillo of MassLive.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Eovaldi tossed 37 warmup pitches, followed by two simulated innings (20 and 16 pitches) for a grand total of 73 pitches on the day. There's been no word of any setbacks to this point, so he'll likely continue to build up his pitch count as he inches closer to a return, which could come in mid-June.

Eovaldi (elbow) completed a bullpen session Sunday and is expected to throw a simulated game Tuesday in Kansas City, Bill Koch of The Providence Journal reports.
EDGE Analysis
After completing a simulated game Friday, Eovaldi was expected to take it easy Sunday and just play catch, but he ended up throwing off the mound in what amounted to a more intense workout. The Red Sox haven't outlined a specific timeline for his return from arthroscopic elbow surgery, but based on where the right-hander is currently at in his throwing program, Pete Abraham of The Boston Globe speculates that Eovaldi could be ready to return from the 10-day injured list as soon as June 15.

Eovaldi (elbow) looked solid in his simulated game Friday, Alex Speier of The Boston Globe reports. "He was really good. Stuff was great," stated manager Alex Cora. "It seems like he's getting close to seeing some action. He'll be with us sooner rather than later."
EDGE Analysis
This is good news for the right-hander, who's been on the shelf since April 20 after undergoing surgery to remove loose bodies in his right elbow. Following Friday's throwing session, the Red Sox have yet to decide whether Eovaldi's next outing will be another simulated game or a rehab outing. It's also worth noting that Boston still plans on deploying Eovaldi as the fifth starter in the rotation. "That fifth game is really important for us," said Cora. Having the rotation, having guys go deep into games, that's how we operate here."

EDGE Analysis
Eovaldi is set to face live hitters for the first time since undergoing surgery to remove loose bodies from his elbow in late April. While the Red Sox have yet to provide a concrete timetable for the right-hander's return -- and likely won't until he embarks on a rehab assignment -- Eovaldi appears to be tracking towards a mid-June return.

Eovaldi (elbow) threw a successful bullpen session Saturday, Chris Cotillo of MassLive.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Eovaldi underwent surgery to remove loose bodies from his elbow in late April. His next step will be either a simulated game or a rehab assignment. His initial six-week timeline would have him returning in the first week of June, though he may be slightly behind that schedule if he requires multiple rehab outings.

Eovaldi (elbow) will throw a bullpen session Saturday, Chris Cotillo of MassLive.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Eovaldi tossed a 35-pitch side session Tuesday without issue, and he'll throw another Saturday before likely moving on to a simulated game or a rehab assignment. A timetable for his activation from the injured list isn't quite set in stone just yet, but he's looking at a return in early-to-mid-June if all goes according to plan.

Eovaldi (elbow) was throwing off flat ground Sunday, Jen McCaffrey of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
It's the third straight day Eovaldi has thrown in the outfield at Fenway Park as he once again began throwing from his knees before progressing to standing tosses. The 28-year-old still has a long way to go in his rehab from right elbow surgery and is likely still at least a month away from rejoining the Red Sox.
