The Texas Rangers placed right-handed pitcher Nathan Eovaldi on the 15-day injured list on August 11, 2026, due to right elbow inflammation. The move is retroactive to August 10, according to the team.
Eovaldi, who has been a key starter for the Rangers, last pitched on August 9 against the Houston Astros, allowing four runs over 5.1 innings. He has posted a 3.72 ERA with 118 strikeouts in 121 innings this season.
The Rangers recalled right-handed pitcher Grant Anderson from Triple-A Round Rock to fill the roster spot. Manager Bruce Bochy said the team hopes Eovaldi will return after the minimum 15 days, but further evaluation will determine the timeline.
This is the second stint on the injured list for Eovaldi this season; he previously missed time in June with a right forearm strain. The Rangers, currently in the thick of the AL West race, will rely on their bullpen and depth starters to cover the gap.
