Rangers are placing right-handed Nathan Eovaldi On the list of injured 15 days, according to a report by Shawn McFarland of the Dallas Morning News. Right-handed Codi Heuer Eovaldi, who was selected as a major league roster to replace the pitcher, while the receiver Tucker Barnhart was designated as an allocation to make room for Hull on the 40-person list. It is not clear who will replace Barnhart on the active roster.
Eovaldi is completely dominant in his 35-year-old campaign, with ERA starting this year until 12 years. His last start on May 27 was abbreviated due to fatigue in his right triceps, and he was out of the game and was initially marked as a precaution. Losing him at any time is a brutal blow to the already struggling Rangers club, but the good news is that manager Chris Young told reporters (including McFarland) that the work of this IL is still largely based on precautionary measures. Eovaldi didn’t deal with any structural damage, but the team just wanted to get senior extra time to recover. His IL job dates back to May 28, meaning Eovaldi may return against the twins on June 12. Eovaldi’s position in the rotation is expected to be Kumar Rock SingerYoung suggested he would stand out on Wednesday’s injury list.
In the short term, Eovaldi’s position on the list will be Heuer. The right-handed turns 29 next month, but has not participated in a major since 2021. Nick Madrigal In the transaction sent Craig Kimbrel On the 2021 trade deadline, from Bears to White Sox. Heuer looked like a future high leverage arm at the time of trading and released a stable ERA of 3.14 ERA in 28 2/3 of the innings.
Unfortunately, Heuer underwent surgery by Tommy John during spring training in 2022. He missed the entire season and then missed all elbow fractures in all seasons in 2023, while also having to recover from surgery. The devastating damage sequence puts the Cubs into non-doping after the 2023 season. He signed a minor league contract with the Rangers before the 2024 season and has been in the organization since. He finally returned to a pro mound earlier this year and performed well in Triple-A, scouting out 26.3% in 22 innings as a 3.27 ERA. Heuer will now have the opportunity to rebuild himself in the Rangers’ Grand Slams and become a potentially late arm Chris Martin On the shelf.
As for Barnhart, the Traveler receiver is a major league in his 12th season. After winning two Golden Glove Awards in his seven seasons and becoming the main receiver for the Reds from 2015 to 2021, Barnhart signed Detroit for the 2022 season and competed in 94 games, but has since bounced in the league as a part-time player. Barnhart is the third catcher for Rangers this year after serving with the Cubs and Rattlers in 2023 and 24. Kyle Higashioka Get more regular representatives at DH. He has only played eight games with the club in total, and now the Rangers will have a week to trade Barnhart to try to pass the waiver. If Barnhart clears the immunity, he will have enough service hours to turn down a task that is favorable to free agents.
