Nate Eovaldi will not start Tuesday against Toronto. He’s still experiencing the neck soreness that led to him being scratched prior to his scheduled start Thursday against Pittsburgh.
“He hasn’t been able to bounce back,” Cora said.
Eovaldi said he felt good enough to pitch last week, but was playing it safe.
“It’s frustrating,” Eovaldi said. “I feel like it’s going a little slower than we had anticipated it. But I am feeling a lot better every day. It’s just how far can we push it back. We want to make sure that it’s 100 percent, especially going down the road for this home stretch.
