Eovaldi agreed to a one-year, $5.6 million deal with the Yankees on Tuesday, avoiding arbitration, Jon Heyman of MLB Network reports.
EDGE Analysis
The hard-throwing righty is coming off the best season of his career, going 14-3 in 27 starts. His ERA was somewhat underwhelming at 4.20, but his FIP of 3.42 suggests that he ran into some tough luck over the course of the season. He'll rejoin the Yankees on a one-year deal and figures to be a back of the rotation starter yet again.

Eovaldi (elbow) would have been on the ALDS roster had the Yankees advanced, The NY Post reports.
EDGE Analysis
After missing most of the final month of the season with elbow inflammation, it appears as though Eovaldi had made enough progress to pitch in meaningful situations, but just ran out of time. It's still encouraging news that he should be able to undergo a normal offseason and rejoin the rotation by the time spring training starts.

Eovaldi threw a simulated game Monday, Joe Lemire of USA Today reports.
EDGE Analysis
Eovaldi has now been able to throw regularly for over a week now and appears to be a candidate to rejoin the team should they advance past Tuesday's wildcard game. While he's likely not stretched out enough to return to the rotation, the 25-year-old should be available out of the bullpen.

Eovaldi (elbow) threw a bullpen session Friday, Meredith Marakovits of the YES Network reports.
EDGE Analysis
Eovaldi has been able to throw somewhat regularly, and without pain, since experiencing inflammation in his elbow at the beginning of September. The plan is for the 25-year-old to throw another bullpen session Monday with the possibility of being on the ALDS roster should the Yankees advance that far.

Eovaldi (elbow) played catch Monday, Sweeny Murti of Sportsradio 66 WFAN reports.
EDGE Analysis
It's the third time in four days that Eovaldi was able to play catch, clearly an encouraging sign after suffering from elbow inflammation. Per manager Joe Girardi, Eovaldi won't be on the roster should the Yankees be in the Wild Card game, but could be a candidate to join the bullpen if the team continues to advance.

Eovaldi (elbow) played catch Friday and Saturday, the NY Daily News reports.
EDGE Analysis
Eovaldi was initially planning to throw last Monday, but that got delayed as he was still dealing with inflammation. It's an encouraging sign that he was able to throw on consecutive days, but at this point Eovaldi will likely only serve as a bullpen option in the postseason, if he's able to to return this year at all.

Eovaldi (elbow) is still dealing with inflammation and has delayed his throwing session, Bryan Hoch of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Eovaldi was supposed to play catch Monday, but he's pushed the session back a week as he continues to battle swelling his his elbow. The right-hander is extremely unlikely to return during the regular season but there's an outside chance he could pitch in the playoffs if the Yankees advance.

Eovaldi (elbow) hopes to play catch Monday, Meredith Marakovits of the YES Network reports.
EDGE Analysis
Eovaldi has already officially been ruled out for the remainder of the regular season with inflammation in his right elbow, but throwing would mark a good first step toward returning to the mound. Depending on how far the Yankees advance, the 25-year-old could potentially return at some point during the postseason, though it could come in a bullpen role.

Eovaldi (elbow) will miss the rest of the regular season, the New York Daily News reports.
EDGE Analysis
A two-week shutdown period has been prescribed for Eovaldi, who is battling elbow inflammation, and he will need two weeks from there to ramp up his throwing before the can return. That takes him out of consideration for a return before the end of the regular season, and it's possible Eovaldi's status for the postseason could be impacted as well. Adam Warren is expected to be stretched out and take Eovaldi's spot in the rotation.

Eovaldi is dealing with inflammation in his right elbow and will be shut down for two weeks, Erik Boland of Newsday reports.
EDGE Analysis
Eovaldi has performed admirably this season with a 14-3 record but this injury stint will bring his campaign to a grinding halt until the Yankees feel comfortable with his level of fitness. In the meantime, Masahiro Tanaka is expected to rejoin the starting rotation this Sunday against the Blue Jays.
