The Texas Rangers are going to be without one of their important pitchers.
The Rangers have announced that they have placed starter Nathan Eovaldi on the 15-day injured list with right posterior elbow inflammation. In addition, they also shared that they have recalled pitcher Ben Peoples from Triple-A Round Rock.
Eovaldi last pitched for the Rangers on Aug. 7, where he allowed one run on four hits and struck out two batters in 5.1 innings. Now, with this news, the Rangers are going to be without the two-time All-Star for the next little bit at least.

In 22 appearances this season with the Rangers, Eovaldi has posted a 10-9 record, a 4.21 ERA, and 137 strikeouts. This is after he had an 11-3 record, a 1.73 ERA, and 129 strikeouts during the 2025 season with the Rangers.
With Eovaldi being a key part of the Rangers' rotation, it is certainly tough to see him being placed on the 15-day injured list. This is especially so when noting that the Rangers are currently fighting for the top spot in the American League West with the Houston Astros. At the time of this writing, the Rangers are a half-game back of the Astros.
The Rangers will now be hoping that Eovaldi will be good to return as soon as his current stint on the 15-day IL ends. In 98 games over four seasons with the Rangers, the 12-year MLB veteran has a 45-25 record, a 3.38 ERA, and a 3.71 ERA.
