Overview

  • President of baseball operations Chris Young told reporters Eovaldi has a rotator cuff strain and is likely out for the year.
  • The right-hander had been listed as the probable starter against the Angels with no prior indication of an issue.
  • Eovaldi’s last outing was seven innings of one-run ball with nine strikeouts against the Guardians on Friday.
  • It remains unclear whether the injury occurred late in that start or during a between-starts throwing session.
  • Texas has stumbled to a 9-14 August and also lost Evan Carter (wrist fracture) and Marcus Semien (foot fracture), leaving a 5.5-game postseason gap that appears unlikely to close.
