Nate Eovaldi limited the Diamondbacks to two runs over five innings Saturday in a 5-3 win.
A well-executed major league debut for the 21-year-old right-hander. He allowed just four hits while striking out seven batters and issuing only two walks. Eovaldi, if given another shot, will take on the Astros next week.

Dodgers purchased the contract of RHP Nate Eovaldi from Double-A Chattanooga.
Eovaldi will take the injured Rubby De La Rosa's spot in the rotation Saturday against the Diamondbacks. The 21-year-old right-hander has had a breakout season for Chattanooga, posting a 2.62 ERA and 99/46 K/BB ratio over 103 innings. He's worth a gamble in NL-only formats.

Tony Jackson of ESPN Los Angeles writes that "there is some chance" that the Dodgers will promote prospect right-hander Nate Eovaldi to start next Tuesday against the Phillies.
He would be replacing the injured Rubby De La Rosa in the starting rotation. Eovaldi, 21, has improved his stock dramatically this season by posting a 2.62 ERA and 99/46 K/BB ratio over 103 innings with Double-A Chattanooga. Even if he doesn't get the call next week, he is well worth monitoring in dynasty formats.
