Rangers activated RHP Nathan Eovaldi from the 10-day injured list.

The timing here is a bit of a stunner, but the Rangers apparently will use Eovaldi out of the pen for now. Perhaps they’ll aim to get him back in the rotation during the final 7-10 days if they’re still in the race. Eovaldi had been out since Aug. 10 with elbow inflammation. He’s returning without a rehab assignment.
