Rangers right-hander , who has been on the injured list for over a month thanks to a forearm strain, has recently been expected to rejoin the Texas rotation during their upcoming series against the Mets, which begins tomorrow. As noted by , however, that wont come to fruition after Eovaldi felt some discomfort in his side during a bullpen se sion on Thursday. The new plan is for Eovaldi to partake in another bullpen se sion on Tuesday Jack Kochanowicz Jersey before the club determines whether hell need a rehab a signment or can directly return to the clubs pitching staff. Eovaldis continued absence is a serious blow to the Rangers, as the right-hander has posted a phenomenal 2.69 ERA and 3.23 FIP in 123 2/3 innings of work this season. By measure of ERA+, hes been 61% better than league average when on the field this season. That sort of production is difficult to replace, and while deadline acquisitions and have done an admirable job with a combined 2.22 ERA acro s nine starts since joining the organization, the club has nonethele s posted a record of just 17-17 since Eovaldi went on the shelf, a mediocre performance thats allowed the surging Mariners to catch them in the standings.

After initially falling to the ground after being struck, Silseth was helped off the field by team trainers. Fortunately, the worst appears to have been avoided, as that manager Phil Nevin told reporters that he think(s) we avoided something serious, but with head injuries you always want to be cautious. Silseth owns a 4.10 ERA (111 ERA+) in 48 1/3 innings of work while swinging between the rotation and bullpen for the Angels this season. Zach Neto Jersey
