Nathan Eovaldi (elbow) finalizes contract with Tampa Bay
The Tampa Bay Rays signed pitcher Nathan Eovaldi (elbow) to a one-year, $2 million contract with a club option for 2018.
What It Means:
Eovaldi will miss the entire 2017 season as he recovers from Tommy John surgery, but the Rays are hoping it'll be worth the wait for the 27-year-old right-hander.
Eovaldi's 2016 campaign was cut short due to the injury, and he finished with a 4.76 ERA, a 4.21 xFIP and a career high 18.5 strikeout percentage across 124 2/3 innings pitched.
