Eovaldi (groin) touched 99 mph in his spring debut Thursday, the New York Post reports.
Elbow inflammation ended Eovaldi's 2015 season in early September, and a groin issue delayed him at the start of camp, but his performance Thursday should go a long way in easing any lingering concern. Eovaldi breezed through the tough Blue Jays' lineup, tossing a pair of perfect innings. He was happy with the sharpness of his slider, but wasn't particularly pleased with how he threw his splitter in the outing.
