Rangers Leave Sunday TBA as Eovaldi Reports Strong Bullpen After Side Tightness

Overview

• Eovaldi threw about 25 high-intensity pitches in a bullpen session and said he felt good.
• He was scratched from his last scheduled start because of tightness on his left side after feeling it while playing catch.
• Manager Skip Schumaker said he will confer with Eovaldi and the medical staff before setting the next start, so Sunday remains listed as TBA.
• Eovaldi has a 4.15 ERA over eight starts with 47 strikeouts in 47.2 innings, and last season he was limited to 22 starts by elbow inflammation and a rotator cuff strain.
• Texas sits at 20-22 and heads to Houston next, so the decision will affect how the Rangers line up their rotation for the Astros series.
