Rays' Nathan Eovaldi: Transferred to 60-day DL

Eovaldi (elbow) was transferred to the 60-day DL on Friday, Roger Mooney of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

The move allowed the Rays to add Jumbo Diaz to the roster and makes logistical sense as Eovaldi (who signed with the Rays in February) is currently recovering from Tommy John surgery and has been ruled out for the entire 2017 season.
