DETROIT -- On his road to recovery after undergoing right elbow surgery in March, Nathan Eovaldi is almost ready to go.
Eovaldi has been progressing well during his rehab. He threw a bullpen session earlier this week, hitting between 96 and 99 mph on the radar gun, Rays manager Kevin Cash said Wednesday.
Cash expects Eovaldi to make a rehab start in the Minor Leagues next week and the club is thinking he could make his season debut with the Rays as early as the week of May 21.
