Rangers Place Key Pitcher on IL Amid Playoff Push
The Texas Rangers have announced that they have placed starting pitcher Nathan Eovaldi on the 15-day injured list.
The Texas Rangers have placed starting pitcher Nathan Eovaldi on the 15-day injured list due to right posterior elbow inflammation. This comes as the team pushes for a playoff push, leaving them without one of their key pitchers. Eovaldi, a two-time All-Star, last pitched for the Rangers on August 7, allowing one run on four hits over 5.1 innings.
In 22 appearances this season, he has a 10-9 record, 4.21 ERA, and 137 strikeouts. Before this season, he had an impressive 11-3 record, 1.73 ERA, and 129 strikeouts in 2025. The Rangers are currently half a game behind the Houston Astros in the American League West, making Eovaldi's absence significant. He is expected to return once his 15-day IL stint concludes.
Over four seasons with the Rangers, Eovaldi has a 45-25 record, a 3.38 ERA, and 3.71 ERA in 98 games.
