• Rangers' Nathan Eovaldi: Stumbles in season debut

  Rotowire Mar 26, 2026

  Eovaldi (0-1) took the loss Thursday against the Phillies, allowing five runs on eight hits and no walks in 4.2 innings. He struck out seven. It wasn't Eovaldi's finest performance versus a formidable Phillies lineup, as he yielded three extra-base hits, including two home runs. Additionally, the veteran right-hander matched his season-worst marks in runs and hits allowed from 2025. Eovaldi, who was able to throw 80 pitches in his season debut, will be trying to right the ship and further up his pitch count in Baltimore against the Orioles for his second scheduled start of the season next week.

• Rangers' Nathan Eovaldi: Named Opening Day starter

  Rotowire Mar 15, 2026

  The Rangers announced Sunday that Eovaldi will start Opening Day against the Phillies on March 26. The veteran right-hander is getting his third straight Opening Day nod for the Rangers, though he may more realistically be considered the club's No. 2 pitcher behind Jacob deGrom. Eovaldi was limited to 22 starts last season due to shoulder issues, but he was dominant when available with a 1.73 ERA, 0.85 WHIP and 129:21 K:BB across 130 innings.

Eovaldi upped his pitch count to 43 (29 strikes) and had three up-and-downs in his second Cactus League start. The right-hander was much better Wednesday than in his spring debut last week, when he allowed a pair of home runs and three runs overall in two innings.

• Rangers' Nathan Eovaldi: Reports to camp in full health

  Rotowire Feb 12, 2026

  Eovaldi (hernia) reported to camp healthy and threw his first bullpen session Tuesday, Kennedi Landry of MLB.com reports. Eovaldi was shut down last season in August and eventually underwent surgery during the offseason to address a sports hernia issue. He said he'd been dealing with the hernia since 2024, but it never affected his pitching. Eovaldi had an impressive 1.73 ERA over 22 starts in 2025, his fourth consecutive season with fewer than 30 starts. The right-hander turns 36 this spring, and manager Skip Schumaker is planning a slow build-up for Eovaldi, similar to how the club handled Jacob deGrom in 2025.

• Rangers' Nathan Eovaldi: Undergoes sports hernia surgery

  Rotowire Oct 9, 2025

  Eovaldi underwent surgery Wednesday to repair a sports hernia, Jeff Wilson of DLLS Sports reports. The typical recovery timeline for the procedure is 6-to-8 weeks, which will allow Eovaldi to begin his offseason throwing program when he normally would. He is expected to be fully recovered from the hernia surgery and also his late-season rotation cuff strain in time for the start of spring training. Eovaldi held a 1.73 ERA, 0.85 WHIP and 129:21 K:BB across 130 innings for the Rangers in 2025.

Caleb Boushley will join the Rangers' bullpen and take Eovaldi's place on the active roster; meanwhile, Jacob Latz will claim the fifth spot in the rotation.

• Rangers' Nathan Eovaldi: Fans nine during quality start

  Rotowire Aug 22, 2025

  Eovaldi didn't factor into the decision against the Guardians on Friday, allowing one run on four hits while striking out nine over seven innings. The right-hander's lone blemish came on a second-inning RBI double by C.J. Kayfus, but he was otherwise dominant, tying his season high with nine punchouts. Eovaldi has now gone at least seven innings in five of his last seven outings, posting a 1.93 ERA and a stellar 43:8 K:BB across 46.2 innings during that stretch. The 35-year-old will carry this strong form into his next scheduled start against the Angels.

  Rotowire Aug 17, 2025

• Rangers' Nathan Eovaldi: Rangers discussing pitching plans

  Rotowire Jul 22, 2025

• Rangers' Nathan Eovaldi: Good to go for Wednesday

  Rotowire Jul 22, 2025

  Eovaldi (back) said Tuesday that he's good to go for Wednesday's start against the Athletics and does not expect to have any restrictions, Shawn McFarland of The Dallas Morning News reports. Eovaldi had to be scratched from a scheduled outing Sunday versus the Tigers due to back tightness, but he will return to the mound after simply being pushed back a few days. The veteran hurler has collected a microscopic 1.58 ERA and 0.85 WHIP over 16 outings for the Rangers this season.

• Rangers' Nathan Eovaldi: No longer starting Sunday

  Rotowire Jul 19, 2025

  Eovaldi has been scratched from his scheduled start Sunday versus Detroit due to tightness in his back, Kennedi Landry of MLB.com reports. Sunday was slated to be a marquee pitching matchup between Eovaldi and the Tigers' Tarik Skubal, but that duel won't happen. Instead, the Rangers have tabbed Jacob Latz to start opposite Detroit's ace. Eovaldi had an IL stint in June due to a triceps injury, and he has made four starts since being activated June 27. It's not yet clear if another trip to the injured list could be on the table for Eovaldi due to the back issue.

• Rangers' Nathan Eovaldi: Another sterling performance in win

  Rotowire Jul 9, 2025

  Eovaldi (6-3) earned the win Tuesday against the Angels, giving up one unearned run on five hits and no walks in six innings. He struck out six. With the Rangers jumping out to a 9-0 lead in the fifth inning, Eovaldi pounded the zone for 55 strikes among his 72 pitches. The veteran right-hander hasn't reached the 80-pitch mark in any of his last three outings since coming off the injured list, although Texas did have the luxury of affording him some extra rest with Tuesday's contest getting out of hand anyway. Eovaldi will bring a spectacular 1.62 ERA, 0.85 WHIP and 86:13 K:BB over 83.1 frames into his next appearance, which is slated for this weekend in a stiff matchup against the division-rival Astros in Houston.

• Rangers' Nathan Eovaldi: Officially activated for start

  Rotowire Jun 27, 2025

  The Rangers reinstated Eovaldi (triceps) from the 15-day injured list to start Friday's game against the Mariners. Eovaldi returns from the injured list without going on a rehab assignment. The 35-year-old threw 50 pitches in three simulated innings last week. While he may not reach his typical pitch count, Eovaldi doesn't appear to be facing any major restrictions. Prior to sustaining the injury, Eovaldi logged a 1.56 ERA across 69.1 innings. His activation will boot Dane Dunning from the 26-man roster.

• Rangers' Nathan Eovaldi: Poised to return from IL this week

  Rotowire Jun 22, 2025

  Rangers manager Bruce Bochy said Sunday that Eovaldi (triceps) isn't expected to require a minor-league rehab assignment and should return from the 15-day injured list to make his next start with the big club, Kennedi Landry of MLB.com reports. The Rangers were satisfied with how Eovaldi looked during a 50-pitch, three-inning live session earlier in the weekend and appear confident that he'll be able to pitch at a high level without the need for a minor-league assignment beforehand. Bochy didn't specify which day the Rangers have Eovaldi penciled in for his return to the rotation, but Landry relays that Friday's home game versus the Mariners appears to be the most logical target for the right-hander. Eovaldi could be under somewhat of a limited pitch count in his first start back from the IL, but he likely won't be under any restrictions in his appearances after that.

  Rotowire Jun 13, 2025

  Eovaldi (triceps) could be ready to throw a bullpen session this weekend, MLB.com reports. Eovaldi recently began playing catch after undergoing further testing back in Arlington.

• Rangers' Nathan Eovaldi: Progressing in recovery

  Rotowire Jun 11, 2025

  Eovaldi (triceps) played catch prior to Wednesday's game against Minnesota, Jeff Wilson of AllDLLS.com reports. Eovaldi landed on the 15-day injured list May 29 due to a right triceps injury. He's eligible to be reinstated from the IL on Friday, but he may need a longer stint on the shelf given that he's only recently started throwing again. Eovaldi's continued absence could allow Jacob Latz (hand) to make another start when the former's next turn through the rotation comes up Saturday versus the White Sox.

• Rangers' Nathan Eovaldi: Lands on IL

  Rotowire Jun 1, 2025

  The Rangers placed Eovaldi on the 15-day injured list Sunday due to right posterior elbow inflammation. Eovaldi experienced right triceps fatigue coming out of his most recent outing Tuesday, but the Rangers were initially optimistic that he would avoid a stint on the IL after getting a few extra days of rest between starts. The right-hander told Kennedi Landry of MLB.com earlier Sunday that he was feeling good after playing catch and hoped to return to the mound Wednesday or Thursday versus the Rays, but the Rangers' brass evidently felt it was better to give him some additional time off. Per Shawn McFarland of The Dallas Morning News, general manager Chris Young reiterated that Eovaldi has nothing structurally wrong with his arm, and the Rangers believe that he'll be able to return from the IL around when he's first eligible June 13. The Rangers will replace Eovaldi in the rotation with Kumar Rocker (shoulder), who will be activated from the IL to start Wednesday.
