Marlins pitcher Nate Eovaldi (back) has shown improvement since he was scratched Thursday from a start against the Braves, MLB.com reports. He could return to the rotation next week against Philadelphia.

The 23-year-old Eovaldi has been a bright spot for the Marlins this season. He has gone 3-6 over 15 starts with a solid 3.80 ERA and 63 strikeouts over 87 2/3 innings pitched.
