A “loose body”... that doesn’t sound good.
Eovaldi to injured list with right elbow issue
The Red Sox placed Nathan Eovaldi on the 10-day injured list with what they termed a loose body in his right elbow. Boston summoned left-hander Bobby Poyner from Triple-A Pawtucket to fill his roster spot.
Eovaldi, who was instrumental in the Red Sox's march to the World Series championship last season, was re-signed this winter to a four-year deal. Eovaldi has a 0-0 record and a 6.00 ERA in four starts this season.
Eovaldi has had Tommy John surgery twice -- once in high school, and in 2016 while pitching for the Yankees.
