Nathan Eovaldi Prepping for Return via Relief Role

Rangers pitcher Nathan Eovaldi successfully completed a 40-pitch bullpen session Saturday as he recovers from an elbow injury. Manager Skip Schumaker stated Sunday that Eovaldi will likely return from the 15-day injured list in a multiple-inning relief role. The team hopes to eventually build his pitch count to allow for spot starts, though Schumaker noted it is challenging to expect immediate length upon his return.
