Rays' Nathan Eovaldi might require another elbow procedure
Tampa Bay Rays starting pitcher Nathan Eovaldi has loose bodies in his right elbow and could be facing arthroscopic surgery.
What It Means:
Eovaldi, who missed all of 2017, has already undergone two career Tommy John surgeries and this procedure would likely sideline him for a significant part of 2018. The 28-year-old right-hander was scheduled to make his season debut on Sunday against the Boston Red Sox but now Jake Faria will likely slide into the Rays' four-man rotation.
As of now, numberFire's models project Eovaldi to record a 4.47 ERA and 1.38 WHIP while striking out 48 batters and walking 26 across 70 2/3 innings this season.
