Nathan Eovaldi is heading to the 10-day injured list with a mild right calf strain, Red Sox manager Ron Roenicke said Saturday.
He was originally scheduled to start this past Wednesday, then this coming Sunday, however it’s become clear that he’ll need more time to heal. The injury was initially considered a calf cramp, but now it appears to be slightly more serious.
Roenicke told reporters he’s confident Eovaldi will be able to pitch next Saturday, Sept. 5, against the Toronto Blue Jays, when he’s eligible to do so.
