Minimum-length absence possible Eovaldi (back) may not miss more than the minimum 15 days on the injured list, Jen McCaffrey of The Athletic reports.
Impact Eovaldi hit the injured list Sunday with an injury that has been referred to both as hip tightness and lower-back inflammation. The move was backdated to Thursday, leaving him eligible to return June 24, and it appears as though he has the chance to make that date. Kutter Crawford entered the rotation in Eovaldi's absence.

Red Sox place SP Nathan Eovaldi on IL with back inflammation
The Boston Red Sox placed starting pitcher Nathan Eovaldi on the 15-day injured list with lower back inflammationJUNE 12, 2022 • ASSOCIATED PRESS
Hits injured list Eovaldi was placed on the 15-day injured list with lower back inflammation Sunday.
Impact Eovaldi had been dealing with what was reportedly hip tightness since his last start Wednesday against the Angels, though the issue is evidently in his back, not his hip. Reports from Saturday indicated that the righty may only need his next start pushed back by a day or two, but he'll now have to miss at least two turns in the rotation. The transaction was backdated to Thursday, so he'll be eligible to return June 24, but it's not yet clear if a minimum-length stay is in play. Kutter Crawford was recalled to take Eovaldi's place on the roster and will start Sunday against Seattle.

Next start pushed back Eovaldi (hip) won't start Tuesday against Oakland as previously scheduled, but there's a chance he starts as soon as Wednesday, Ian Browne of MLB.com reports.
Impact The Red Sox previously maintained that Eovaldi would make his next start on schedule despite the fact that he returned to Boston to have his right hip checked out, but that's evidently no longer the case. The fact that a Wednesday start is still in play suggests that the team still isn't particularly worried, though a decision on when he'll next take the mound won't come until Monday's off day. Nick Pivetta will jump ahead of him to start Tuesday's series opener.

Returns to Boston Eovaldi returned to Boston to have his hip checked out, though manager Alex Cora insists the right-hander will make his next start Tuesday, Christopher Smith of MassLive.com report...
Impact Eovaldi is dealing with right hip tightness that likely caused a drop in velocity during his most recent start against the Angels on Wednesday. "We flew him there just to see our doctors," Cora said. "He's still expected to make his next start on Tuesday." Cora has acted like the hip is not a big deal, but it apparently remains a concern heading into Evoladi's start Tuesday against the Athletics at Fenway Park.

Will make next scheduled start Eovaldi (hip) will make his next start, Christopher Smith of MassLive.com reports. He's tentatively slated to start Tuesday at home against Oakland.
Impact Eovaldi experienced hip tightness during Wednesday's outing and was pulled after five innings. Boston manager Alex Cora expressed little concern following the game and acknowledged the condition may have played a role in his reduced velocity. "He's doing OK," Cora said Thursday. "Obviously it wasn't perfect yesterday. Plaw (Kevin Plawecki) noticed it right away with the velo. So he had to actually quote-unquote pitch. It wasn't the usual 98, 99. So he used his secondary pitches and we expect him to make his next start." The Red Sox have a day off Monday, which builds an extra day of rest into Eovaldi's schedule.

Dealing with hip tightness Eovaldi was dealing with hip tightness during Wednesday's start against the Angels, Christopher Smith of MassLive.com reports.
Impact It's Eovaldi starting feeling the sensation Tuesday, but he was treated and felt fine doing his prep work for Wednesday's start. The issue appears to have impacted his four-seamer, which averaged a below-normal 94 mph. He averaged 96.7 mph over his first 11 starts. "Yeah, probably that's it," manager Alex Cora said. "He pitched well. He got us 5 scoreless innings. The stuff wasn't great but he did a good job changing speeds, using his offspeed pitches." Cora added that he doesn't think Eovaldi will miss his next start while noting the pitcher will have an additional day off when Boston if off Monday.

Hurls five scoreless frames in win Eovaldi (4-2) earned the win over the Angels on Wednesday, pitching five scoreless innings during which he allowed six hits while striking out five.
Impact The Angels put at least one runner on base in four of the Eovaldi's five innings, but they didn't manage any extra-base hits and weren't able to get any runners to third base. The right-hander was fairly inefficient with 84 pitches over five frames, but he didn't walk any batters and racked up 14 swinging strikes. Eovaldi lowered his season ERA to 3.16 with the strong outing, and he has pitched 11 scoreless innings while notching 13 strikeouts and a pair of wins over his past two starts.

Fans eight in six innings Eovaldi (3-2) earned the win during Friday's 7-2 victory over Oakland, allowing four hits and one walk with six strikeouts in six innings.
Impact Eovaldi was staked to an early lead and was never in any real danger, recording only his second start of at least five innings while surrendering two runs or fewer. The 32-year-old fired 62 of 93 pitches for strikes with 16 of the swinging variety and now sports a 3.41 ERA and 1.09 WHIP in 11 turns. He's set to take the hill again next week against the Angels.
