As expected, Yankees starting pitcher Nathan Eovaldi was placed on the 15-day disabled list Friday, after leaving his last start after just one inning because of elbow soreness.
It was clear something was wrong Wednesday when Eovaldi, who usually has one of the best fastballs in the league, could barely touch the mid 90’s with his heater. When he admitted to feeling some discomfort, he was promptly shut down and sent back to New York for testing.
According to a report from Newsday, Eovaldi underwent an MRI and was examined by Dr. Christopher Ahmad Thursday.
