Nathan Eovaldi Named Rangers Opening Day Starter

The Rangers have officially named Nathan Eovaldi as their Opening Day starter for the March 26 matchup against the Phillies. This marks the veteran right-hander's third consecutive Opening Day start for the club. Eovaldi, who was limited to 22 starts last season due to shoulder issues, remained highly effective when available, posting a 1.73 ERA, 0.85 WHIP, and 129:21 K:BB across 130 innings. He enters the 2026 season looking to build on his career-best 2025 performance.
