Eovaldi will visit a doctor Monday to determine whether he needs surgery on his right elbow, Pete Abraham of The Boston Globe reports.
Eovaldi has a loose body in his elbow that is reportedly in a bad place, preventing the pitcher from stretching his arm out. Eovaldi, while with Tampa Bay, missed two months due to arthroscopic surgery for the same issue last season, but a return this time could be quicker. Last season, Eovaldi was simultaneously recovering from Tommy John elbow surgery, which he believes prolonged his recovery and encouraged the Rays to be more cautious with him, Jason Mastrodonato of the Boston Herald reports.
