Nathan Eovaldi Throws To Live Hitters
1 year agoTexas Rangers right-hander Nathan Eovaldi (forearm) threw a live batting practice session of two innings, including warming up for a third inning, at Chase Field in Arizona on Monday. He also threw a bullpen session of around 40 pitches on Aug. 13 and another one on Aug. 16. Eovaldi reported no issues after Monday's session and thinks he could presently get big-league hitters out. The Rangers haven't confirmed the next step for Eovaldi or whether he'll need a minor-league rehab assignment before rejoining the rotation. Either way, the 33-year-old appears close to rejoining the Rangers as they push to win the American League West. Eovaldi has been great this year, going 11-3 with a 2.69 ERA (3.24 FIP), 1.01 WHIP and 111 strikeouts in 123 2/3 innings over 19 starts in his first year in Texas.
