Eovaldi Near Return, Could Pitch Soon | Texas Rangers News

Nathan Eovaldi is inching closer to returning to the Texas Rangers, throwing a 30-pitch simulated game — equivalent to a two-inning outing — after a month-long elbow inflammation absence. With the team’s playoff push in full swing and a grueling six-game road trip ahead, Eovaldi could rejoin as early as Sunday following another sim game Friday in Arizona. The Rangers may deploy him in short bursts, possibly even as a reliever, to help catch the Astros in the AL West — with veteran Cal Quantrill already pitching twice on this trip to ease the load on other arms.
