Eovaldi (5-7) took the loss Friday, giving up three runs on three hits over two innings as the Red Sox fell 6-1 to the White Sox.
EDGE Analysis
A rain delay of over two hours in the middle of the third inning ended Eovaldi's night after only 35 pitches (22 strikes), but the damage had already been done thanks to Yoan Moncada's two-run homer in the bottom of the first. Eovaldi will carry a 4.35 ERA into his next scheduled start Wednesday in Atlanta.

Hall of Famer Pedro Martinez worked with Eovaldi at Fenway Park on Tuesday, Christopher Smith of MassLive.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Martinez said he noticed something with Eovaldi, the starter Boston acquired from Tampa Bay before the non-waiver trade deadline. Eovaldi pitched 15 scoreless innings in his first two starts for Boston, but has a 7.41 ERA and 2.24 WHIP in four starts since. It's unclear what specifically Martinez noticed, but we should get glimpse of any tweaks when Eovaldi toes the rubber Friday on the road against the White Sox.

Eovaldi (5-6) surrendered six runs (five earned) on eight hits while striking out five over four innings as he took the loss Sunday against Tampa Bay.
EDGE Analysis
Eovaldi got off to a rough start, allowing two runs in the first inning and three more in the third prior to being pulled from the ballgame. He tossed 65 of 89 pitches for strikes, so despite pounding the strike zone throughout his start, he didn't appear to have his best stuff. The 28-year-old will look to bounce back after an unsuccessful outing, as he lines up to face the White Sox on Saturday.

Eovaldi (4-4) tossed seven shutout innings while allowing four hits and striking out five as he secured the victory Sunday against the Twins.
EDGE Analysis
Eovaldi looked sharp in his first start since being dealt to the Red Sox, as he was lifted following seven strong innings with a 3-0 lead. He's been sharp over his past two outings, surrendering just one run through 13 innings while fanning 13. In 11 appearances this season, the 28-year-old owns a 3.80 ERA and 0.94 WHIP with 58 strikeouts across 64 frames.

Eovaldi will take the hill against Minnesota on Sunday, Sean McAdam of the BostonSportsJournal.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Eovaldi will make his first start with his new team on eight days of rest after pitching against Detroit on Friday. The right-hander was traded to Boston on Wednesday morning in exchange for Jalen Beeks. Across 10 starts with the Rays this year, Eovaldi has posted a 4.26 ERA and 0.98 WHIP with 53 strikeouts in 57 innings. His addition to the rotation will force Brian Johnson to the bullpen following his start Thursday.

Eovaldi was traded from the Rays to the Red Sox on Wednesday in exchange for Jalen Beeks, Ken Rosenthal of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Eovaldi won't make his scheduled start Wednesday against the Yankees, as the deal has been made official. The 28-year-old right-hander figures to bolster a Boston starting rotation that's a bit banged up, as Eduardo Rodriguez (ankle) and Steven Wright (knee) are both on the disabled list. Eovaldi has made 10 starts for Tampa Bay in 2018, posting a 4.26 ERA and 0.98 WHIP with a 53:11 K:BB over 57 innings. He underwent Tommy John surgery in August of 2016, forcing him to miss the entire 2017 campaign.

Eovaldi (3-4) took the loss Friday as the Rays fell 11-8 to the Twins, surrendering eight runs on nine hits and two walks over 2.2 innings while striking out one.
EDGE Analysis
The right-hander has been extremely inconsistent since coming off the disabled list at the end of May, putting together three scoreless starts in nine outings but coughing up four or more runs in four others, although Friday's performance was his worst yet in 2018. As a result, Eovaldi will carry a 4.59 ERA into the All-Star break.

Eovaldi (3-3) blanked the Mets across seven innings, allowing just one hit while fanning nine as he notched the win Sunday.
EDGE Analysis
Eovaldi has had his best stuff over his last three starts, allowing just two runs across 19 innings while striking out 23. He was extremely efficient Sunday, as he threw 79 pitches through seven innings, but Tampa Bay decided to pull their starter due to a seven-run lead. Eovaldi will look to keep it rolling in his next outing, which figures to come Friday against Minnesota.

Eovaldi tossed six innings of two-run ball in a no-decision Monday against the Marlins, allowing eight hits with one walk and five strikeouts.
EDGE Analysis
Eovaldi endured his share of baserunners in this one, but he allowed just two extra-base hits and induced 11 groundball outs to help mitigate the damage. He allowed a run on three hits in the second inning and another via a solo home run in the fifth. Though he completed his second straight quality start, Eovaldi received little run support and never really had a shot at a win. Things are looking up for the right-hander, who's posted a 14:3 K:BB while allowing just two earned runs across 12 total innings over his last two starts. He'll next get the ball in a favorable matchup with the Mets this weekend.

Eovaldi (2-3) earned the win against the Nationals on Tuesday, recording nine strikeouts and allowing one hit and two walks across six scoreless innings.
EDGE Analysis
Eovaldi picked up his first win since his first start of the season May 30 with six no-hit innings, and took a no hitter into the sixth inning Tuesday, as well. The 28-year-old has a 4.08 ERA and 0.82 WHIP with a 30:5 K:BB over 35.1 innings, and is lined up for a quality matchup in Miami next Monday.
