Rangers general manager Chris Young said Sunday that Eovaldi (side) will return to Texas to visit with team physician Dr. Keith Meister before a determination is made if he'll be able to make his next start, MLB.com reports. "The hope is that [Eovaldi's side injury is] something that can be managed," Young said. "He's feeling OK [Sunday]. Actually, better than he was, I think, a couple of days ago. It's something he thinks he can pitch through. We're just not sure we want to make him do so. We may end up pushing him back or skipping a start. We don't think it's an IL at this point, but we will clearly decide that once he sees Dr. Meister."

EDGE Analysis

Eovaldi started Saturday but was lifted after just three innings due to right side tightness in the Rangers' 8-0 loss to the Yankees in the first game of a doubleheader. While more information on Eovaldi's next steps won't be available until he meets with Dr. Meister, the right-hander's availability for his next turn through the rotation would appear to be in doubt at the moment. Eovaldi tentatively lines up to take the hill either Thursday or Friday versus the Twins, but the Rangers would likely have to call upon Cody Bradford to make another turn through the rotation if Eovaldi can't go.

Manager Bruce Bochy said that Eovaldi was removed early from his start in Game 1 of Saturday's doubleheader due to right side tightness, Kennedi Landry of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Eovaldi was able to get through only three innings in his start Saturday, during which he allowed three runs on six hits and two walks while striking out four batters. It's unclear how his injury will impact his status for his next scheduled start -- tentatively slated to come next week versus Minnesota -- but more will be known once the Rangers get an opportunity to take a closer look at him.

Eovaldi (8-6) took the loss in the first game of Saturday's doubleheader against the Yankees, giving up three runs on six hits and two walks over three innings. He struck out four.

EDGE Analysis

The Rangers wound up getting shut out 8-0 in the matinee, and Eovaldi didn't help matters by needing 81 pitches (50 strikes) to record only nine outs. The veteran right-hander has been tagged for eight runs in eight innings over his first two starts in August, a steep decline from a July that saw him deliver five quality starts in six trips to the mound with a 3.23 ERA and dazzling 32:0 K:BB in 39 innings. Eovaldi will look to re-discover that form in his next outing, which lines up to come at home next week against the Twins.

Eovaldi (8-5) allowed five runs on seven hits and a walk while striking out seven over five-plus innings to take the loss Sunday versus the Red Sox.

EDGE Analysis

Eovaldi landed 66 of 99 pitches for strikes, but he gave up solo home runs to Wilyer Abreu and Jarren Duran. He ran into more trouble in the sixth inning, and Walter Pennington allowed two inherited runners to score, giving Eovaldi a mediocre outing. The right-handed starter has allowed 16 runs over 23 innings across his last four starts, a span that has also seen him yield seven homers. For the year, he's posted a 3.62 ERA, 1.06 WHIP and 113:27 K:BB across 117 innings over 20 starts. He's given up 17 long balls this year after surrendering just 15 over 144 innings in 2023, so it's something to monitor going forward. Eovaldi's next outing is projected to be a challenging one on the road versus the Yankees.

Eovaldi (8-4) picked up the win Monday in St. Louis, allowing three runs on six hits and no walks over six innings. He struck out two.

EDGE Analysis

The grizzled veteran collected his 10th quality start of the season in this 82-pitch outing. Despite generating 11 whiffs, Eovaldi managed just two punchouts, equaling a season low reached twice previously. The 34-year-old closes out a stellar month of July over which he didn't walk a batter across 39 innings, pitching to a 3.23 ERA and 0.79 WHIP with 32 strikeouts. Eovaldi is currently scheduled to make his next start against the Red Sox at home this weekend.

Eovaldi (7-4) picked up the win over the White Sox on Wednesday, allowing two runs on four hits over seven innings while striking out 10.

EDGE Analysis

Eovaldi struck out four of the first eight batters he faced on the night but coughed up runs in both the second and third innings. Fortunately for the right-hander, he was able to shake it off and cruise through the next four frames while allowing just one more hit over that span. Eovaldi induced 20 whiffs in the contest en route to posting a season-high 10 strikeouts. He's now gone seven innings in five of his last six starts and currently holds an absurd 30:0 K:BB in July. On the downside, he's also surrendered at least one home run in back-to-back starts and in three of his last four.

Eovaldi (6-4) yielded six runs on eight hits over five innings Friday, striking out two and taking a loss against the Orioles.

EDGE Analysis

Eovaldi got off to a rocky start, coughing up a pair of two-run homers in the first inning. He kept Baltimore off the board for a few frames before Anthony Santander joined the party with a two-run shot in the fifth. Eovaldi had given up three homers over his previous four outings before Friday's unsightly outing. On the bright side, he has now gone four straight starts without issuing a free pass. Eovaldi will carry a 3.36 ERA into his next outing, which is line to be at home against the White Sox.

Eovaldi came away with a no-decision in Saturday's 2-1 extra-inning win over the Astros, allowing one run on eight hits over seven innings. He struck out seven without walking a batter.

EDGE Analysis

The veteran righty was outstanding, firing 68 of 95 pitches for strikes en route to his third straight quality start and eighth of the year, but Eovaldi got little run support. He's lasted at least six innings in five straight trips to the mound, going 3-0 over that stretch and giving the Rangers bullpen a break while posting a 2.65 ERA, 0.82 WHIP and dazzling 28:2 K:BB over 34 innings.

Eovaldi (6-3) earned the win Sunday over the Rays, allowing two runs on four hits and striking out five without walking a batter over seven innings.

EDGE Analysis

Eovaldi limited the damage to a two-run home run by Jose Caballero in the third inning, and the Rangers generated plenty of offense to counter that. This is the third start in a row where Eovaldi's completed seven innings, though it was a small step back from his one-hit outing versus the Padres last Tuesday. The right-hander has a 3.10 ERA, 1.03 WHIP and 85:26 K:BB across 87 innings through 15 starts this season. He's projected for a road start in Houston his next time out.

Eovaldi (5-3) picked up the win in Tuesday's 7-0 victory over the Padres, allowing just one hit over seven scoreless innings. He struck out six without walking a batter.

EDGE Analysis

Bryce Johnson's third-inning single spoiled any shot Eovaldi might have had at making history, but the right-hander still put together a dominant performance before leaving the mound after 92 pitches (61 strikes). The quality start was his sixth of the year, and Eovaldi will take a 3.15 ERA, 1.08 WHIP and 80:26 K:BB through 80 innings into his next outing, which is scheduled to come at home this weekend against the Rays.
