Eovaldi (forearm) will be activated from the 15-day injured list to start Tuesday's game against the Astros, Kennedi Landry of MLB.com reports.
Eovaldi has been given the green light to return from the IL to make what will be just his second appearance since the All-Star break. The right-hander had been Texas' top starter prior to suffering the right forearm strain, going 11-3 and posting a 2.61 ERA, 1.01 WHIP and 111:34 K:BB across 123.2 innings. His return represents a major boon for the Rangers, who are in a tight race with Houston and Seattle for first place in the AL West. Since Eovaldi hasn't pitched for Texas in seven weeks and didn't head out on a minor-league rehab assignment, he could be on a more limited pitch count than usual in his return Tuesday.
