The Texas Rangers are just a half game behind the Houston Astros in the AL West, but will be without Nathan Eovaldi for some time. The Texas Rangers are sitting just a half-game back in the AL West. One of the pieces of the core was pitcher Nathan Eovaldi, but he will not be pitching for the Rangers any time soon, per Talkin' Baseball. “The Rangers lose Nathan Eovaldi to the injured list due to right posterior elbow inflammation,” Talkin' Baseball posted on X, formerly Twitter. The Rangers pitcher is 10-9 on the year with a 4.21 ER and a 1.21 WHIP.
