Nathan Eovaldi Fantasy Stats

Texas Rangers starting pitcher Nathan Eovaldi (elbow) was activated off the 10-day Injured List on Saturday. Eovaldi is back in the mix after going down on August 10 due to right elbow inflammation. The Rangers will have Eovaldi return to the pitching staff as a reliever. There's a chance that he'll build up towards a starter workload again, but for now, Eovaldi will be used out of the bullpen. The 36-year-old figures to be used in a multi-inning role, which likely won't result in a ton of fantasy value. The right-hander could become a cut candidate, with him unlikely to return to the starting rotation in time to help fantasy managers in the playoffs.

Texas Rangers right-hander Nathan Eovaldi (elbow) threw a "touch-and-feel" bullpen session on Thursday at T-Mobile Park, according to MLB.com. Eovaldi is scheduled for a second live batting practice session on Friday in Arizona if everything continues in the right direction as he recovers from right posterior elbow inflammation that landed him on the 15-day injured list on Aug. 10. His expected return to the Rangers' starting rotation is to be determined right now and will likely be decided by how he feels and recovers following another throwing session on Friday. The 36-year-old veteran is running out of time to help fantasy managers in the postseason over the next couple of weeks, and if he does return before the end of the regular season in September, he might only make one or two starts for the Rangers. In his 15th year in the big leagues, the two-time All-Star has a 10-9 record, 4.21 ERA (4.27 FIP), and 1.21 WHIP with 137 strikeouts and 32 walks in 132 2/3 innings pitched across his 22 starts. The Rangers are currently three games back of the Houston Astros for the division lead in the American League West and two games back of the final wild-card spot in the AL.

Texas Rangers right-hander Nathan Eovaldi (elbow) threw a successful bullpen session on Thursday, according to Evan Grant of The Dallas Morning News. Eovaldi is working his way back slowly from inflammation in his right elbow that landed him on the 15-day injured list on Aug. 10, but he is making progress and should rejoin the Rangers' starting rotation before the end of September, barring a setback. However, time is running out for him to make an impact in fantasy baseball leagues. The 15-year veteran has been solid when healthy in 2026 in his fourth year with the team, going 10-9 with a 4.21 ERA (4.26 FIP) and 1.21 WHIP with 137 strikeouts and 32 walks in 132 2/3 frames over 22 starts. Despite time running out in the season, Eovaldi is rostered in just over 80% of Yahoo leagues. He has not been quite as good in just four second-half starts, posting a 5.06 ERA with six walks and 17 strikeouts in 21 1/3 innings.

Texas Rangers right-hander Nathan Eovaldi (elbow) is still not throwing off a mound as he works his way back from elbow inflammation, but he resumed playing catch this week in Chicago, and it will be another 10-12 days before he takes that step, according to Kennedi Landry of MLB.com. "Knowing Evo, he's going to want to push," manager Skip Schumaker said. "That's also a fine line because he's the one guy that is not going to be just the status quo. He's going to try to do whatever he can to get back." The Rangers would love to have Eovaldi back in their starting rotation sooner rather than later as they push for a playoff spot in the American League, but they are not going to rush the 36-year-old veteran. He was placed on the 15-day injured list on Aug. 10, and it is looking more likely that he might only offer fantasy managers a handful of starts down the stretch in September in the final month of the regular season. In his 15th year in the league in 2026 (fourth year in Texas), Eovaldi has gone 10-9 with a 4.21 ERA (4.25 FIP) and 1.21 WHIP with 137 strikeouts and 32 walks in 132 2/3 innings across his 22 starts.

Texas Rangers starting pitcher Nathan Eovaldi (elbow) was placed on the 15-day injured list, retroactive to August 9, on Monday, according to the team. Eovaldi will head to the shelf due to right posterior elbow inflammation. The good news is that it's not UCL-related, which is an encouraging sign. The assumption is that Eovaldi will undergo more testing in the coming days. Fantasy managers should stay tuned for a better timetable on his status. This season, Eovaldi owns a 4.21 ERA, 1.21 WHIP, and a 137/32 K/BB ratio across 132.2 innings of work this season. Cal Quantrill will get the start in Eovaldi's place against the Los Angeles Angels on Wednesday

The Texas Rangers have spoken to teams about right-hander Nathan Eovaldi, according to the MLB Network's Jon Morosi. However, Eovaldi has a full no-trade clause, and he's under contract for $24 million next season, which could make any potential trade by Monday's Aug. 3 deadline hard to pull off. Eovaldi being moved on Monday doesn't make a whole lot of sense for the reasons listed above, and because the Rangers are still in the thick of the playoff hunt in the American League, just 2.5 games behind the Astros in the AL West and 1.5 games out of the final wild-card spot in the AL. The Rangers are going to need the 36-year-old veteran starting pitcher if they are going to get into the postseason this year. In his 15th year in the big leagues, Eovaldi has gone 10-9 with a 4.31 ERA (4.30 FIP) and 1.21 WHIP with 135 strikeouts and 30 walks in 127 1/3 innings pitched across his 21 starts. The two-time All-Star has managed to stay healthy for the most part, and he still has a useful 25.3% strikeout rate and 5.6% walk rate to make him relevant in all fantasy baseball leagues. UPDATE: In addition to Eovaldi, the Rangers are discussing left-handers MacKenzie Gore and Jacob Latz with other teams at the deadline, according to the New York Post's Jon Heyman.

Texas Rangers right-hander Nathan Eovaldi (illness) came in feeling under the weather on Friday, but he could still potentially start in Sunday's series finale in Atlanta against the Braves, according to MLB.com's Kennedi Landry. Fantasy managers will want to check back in on Eovaldi's condition going into Sunday's game to see if he's still on track to start in a less-than-ideal matchup to kick off the second half of his season. The 36-year-old veteran has maintained a high floor for fantasy managers because of his ability to miss bats and throw strikes consistently. Eovaldi finished the first half of the 2026 season with Texas with a 9-7 record, 4.04 ERA (4.02 FIP), and 1.12 WHIP with 120 strikeouts and 26 walks in 111 1/3 innings pitched across 18 starts. Going into the All-Star break, Eovaldi allowed three runs or fewer in each of his final five starts, and he had at least nine punchouts in each of his final four starts before the Midsummer Classic. He'll be a bit riskier against Atlanta on the road, though, if he's still not 100% recovered from his illness.

It wasn't the prettiest outing, but Texas Rangers right-hander Nathan Eovaldi finished the first half of his 2026 season strong in a 7-6 win over the division-rival Los Angeles Angels on Thursday night at Globe Life Field. Eovaldi allowed four runs (three earned) on six hits while walking two and striking out a season-high 10 batters in six innings for a no-decision. Eovaldi generated 23 swings and misses for his 10th quality start of the season. The 36-year-old veteran and two-time All-Star has allowed three earned runs or fewer in five straight starts going into next week's All-Star break, and he now holds a 9-7 record, 4.04 ERA (4.04 FIP) and 1.18 WHIP with 120 strikeouts and 26 walks in 111 1/3 innings pitched across his 18 starts in 2026 in his 15th year in the big leagues. Durability is a concern for Eovaldi at his age, but when healthy, he has a stable floor, and he currently ranks 12th in baseball with 120 strikeouts. Eovaldi is sporting a solid 25.9% strikeout rate and 5.6% walk rate.

Texas Rangers manager Skip Schumaker said that right-hander Nathan Eovaldi (knee) will start Sunday's series finale against the San Diego Padres at Globe Life Field. Eovaldi was scratched from his start on Saturday against San Diego with soreness in his left knee, but it turned out to be a pretty minor issue. The 36-year-old veteran will head into Sunday's start with a 6-7 record, 4.23 ERA (4.66 FIP), and 1.17 WHIP with 83 strikeouts and 21 walks in 87 1/3 innings pitched across 14 starts. The two-time All-Star has allowed at least three earned runs in each of his last five starts while also giving up 19 earned runs on 30 hits (seven home runs) with 28 strikeouts and nine walks in 32 2/3 innings pitched for a 5.23 ERA (5.18 FIP) over that span. Eovaldi's strikeout rate has also fallen from 26% last year to 22.9% in 2026. However, with a great matchup against the punchless Padres' lineup, Eovaldi has a great chance to bounce back on Sunday, even though he's coming off an injury scare.

Texas Rangers right-hander Nathan Eovaldi (knee) has been scratched from Saturday's start at Globe Life Field against the visiting San Diego Padres with "a little" soreness in his left knee, according to Kennedi Landry of MLB.com. Left-hander MacKenzie Gore will make the start in Eovaldi's place against his former team. It's unclear as of now if Eovaldi will be a candidate for the injured list or if he'll just have to skip one turn through Texas' rotation. The 36-year-old veteran has gone 6-7 this year with a 4.23 ERA (4.66 FIP) and 1.17 WHIP with 83 strikeouts and 21 walks in 87 1/3 innings pitched across his 14 starts in his 15th year in the big leagues. Given Eovaldi's lengthy history of injuries, we would not be surprised if he lands on the IL, even if the Rangers are currently saying it's a minor knee injury. Eovaldi's strikeout rate has dropped to 22.9%, but the two-time All-Star is still throwing plenty of strikes and is rostered in over 90% of Yahoo leagues. Stay tuned for more information about when he might be ready to make his next start.
