Nathan Eovaldi Playing Catch on Wednesday
Texas Rangers right-hander Nathan Eovaldi (side) was seen playing catch in the outfield on Wednesday, according to Shawn McFarland of The Dallas Morning News. It's a good sign after the Rangers scratched Eovaldi from his scheduled start on Monday against the Arizona Diamondbacks with left-side tightness. Eovaldi is currently considered day-to-day and could still make his next turn in the starting rotation this weekend in a plus matchup against the Houston Astros if he can make his normal between-starts bullpen this week. The 36-year-old veteran hurler has a history of side/oblique issues, but fantasy managers should start him this weekend if he makes a start against the struggling Astros. Through his first eight starts of the 2026 campaign in his 15th year in the big leagues, Eovaldi is 4-4 with a 4.15 ERA (4.69 FIP) and 1.17 WHIP with 47 strikeouts and only 10 walks across 47 2/3 innings pitched. After a rough start on April 24 against the A's, in which he gave up a season-high six earned runs in six innings, Eovaldi has allowed just one earned run in 15 innings over his last two starts with 15 combined K's. UPDATE: Eovaldi threw a bullpen on Wednesday and said he feels fine. He thinks he is good to pitch on Sunday in Houston against the Astros.
