Rangers Navigate Eovaldi Imaging While Latz Shines in Bullpen
Texas Rangers pitcher Nathan Eovaldi will undergo imaging after left‑side tightness forced him from a start, prompting a bullpen-heavy plan with Jakob Junis and Jacob Latz in the closer role. DeGrom remains the rotation centerpiece as the front five hold up, and the bullpen’s MLB-low ERA has buoyed a team whose offense remains below average. Meanwhile, Josh Smith’s glute and wrist injuries sideline him, opening more playing time for Ezequiel Durán at second and Alejandro Osuna in the outfield, with Wyatt Langford also dealing with injury concerns.
