Texas Rangers right-hander Nathan Eovaldi was scratched from his scheduled start against the Arizona Diamondbacks due to tightness in his left side. The announcement came approximately three hours before the game, with Jakob Junis, a right-handed reliever, set to take Eovaldi's place on the mound. Eovaldi, who has a record of 4-4 and an ERA of 4.15, was coming off two impressive performances against the New York Yankees, where he allowed just one run over 15 innings and struck out a total of 15 batters. The 36-year-old pitcher, a two-time All-Star, had a standout season last year with an 11-3 record and a career-best 1.73 ERA, but he faced challenges this season, including missing time due to elbow inflammation and a rotator cuff strain.
