The Rangers announced today that right-hander has been placed on the 15-day injured list with a right Dane Dunning Jersey groin strain. Fellow righty was recalled in a corresponding move. Eovaldi, 34, started yesterdays game but departed the game with groin tightne s. He seemed unconcerned with the i sue after the game, per , though the club scheduled him for an MRI. It seems that a strain was found, though the current severity isnt publicly known. Regardle s of how long Eovaldi is out, his absence will be a challenge for a Rangers club with plenty of rotation injuries. The club has long known that and would be out for significant portions of this year, as each underwent Tommy John surgery last year. then required back surgery in the winter, which meant he was going to start the season on the IL as well. Since the season has started, has landed on the shelf due to a stre s fracture in his rib and now Eovaldi is following that group to the IL. Subtracting Eovaldi will naturally hurt, as he has a 2.61 earned run average on the year. His absence will be doubly challenging for the club at this time since they are currently in a stretch of playing ten games in nine days, thanks to a scheduled doubleheader in Oakland this coming Wednesday. For now, they can have , , and start the next four contests. But they will need another starter to take Eovaldis spot in the rotation by Tuesday and then someone else for the twin bill the day after. is on the big league roster and has been throwing multi-inning stints out of the bullpen. He could be an option for a start or working as a bulk pitcher as part of a bullpen game. and are each on the 40-man roster, though neither had good results in their previous call-ups this year. Scherzer had begun a rehab a signment but has been slowed by some thumb sorene s and his timeline is unclear at the moment. recently signed a minor league deal but hasnt yet appeared in official game action. and are stretched out at Triple-A but neither is on the 40-man roster at the moment.
