Eovaldi (forearm) will throw to live hitters this week while the Rangers are in Arizona for a series against the Diamondbacks, Shawn McFarland of The Dallas Morning News reports.
The report indicates Eovaldi has thrown three successful bullpen sessions, which includes the one he reportedly was scheduled to throw this weekend. Presumably, he experienced no issues in the third bullpen session, so the Rangers are moving him onto the next step, throwing to live batters. The Rangers will determine Eovaldi's next step once he completes his live batting practice session Monday or Tuesday.
