What we know about Nathan Eovaldi\u2019s condition after leaving the game against Toronto early<\/p>\n
The 35-year-old right-hander has been nothing short of phenomenal this season. Entering the game with a 4-3 record, Eovaldi carried a sparkling 1.60 ERA and a major-league best 0.79 WHIP. After Tuesday\u2019s brief outing, his ERA slightly improved to 1.56, securing his spot as one of the most dominant pitchers in the American League. He currently ranks third in the AL for both ERA and opponent batting average (.183).Before his exit, Eovaldi tossed 39 pitches across two scoreless innings, allowing just two hits and striking out two. He impressively danced out of early trouble, leaving Bo Bichette stranded at third in the first and escaping a second-inning jam involving George Springer and Anthony Santander.Jacob Latz stepped in and pitched a clean third inning, helping maintain the Rangers\u2019 momentum. Following the game, Michael Bier of Foul Territory TV provided the much-anticipated update: “Nathan Eovaldi left tonight’s game with right triceps fatigue, per the Rangers. The move was precautionary and he’s not expected to miss time.”With the season still in full swing, the Rangers are taking no chances with their frontline starter, who has already proven to be a game-changer. Eovaldi\u2019s journey through MLB has been well-documented\u2014debuting with the Dodgers in 2011, and making stops with the Marlins, Yankees, Rays, and Red Sox before landing in Texas in 2022. The two-time World Series champion has since anchored the Rangers\u2019 rotation, playing a pivotal role in their 2023 title run.While his exit raised alarms, the early signs point to a cautious approach by the team. For Rangers fans, the takeaway is simple: their ace is still on track, and Texas is wisely playing the long game.Also Read: Why Bryce Harper left Phillies vs Braves game after getting hit by pitch and what it means next<\/a>
