Eovaldi did not factor into the decision in Monday's 2-1 loss to the Tigers, allowing one run on three hits and no walks with seven strikeouts over 5.2 innings.
Eovaldi allowed a solo home run to Jake Rogers in the third inning but was otherwise fantastic, leaving the game in a 1-1 tie with two outs in the sixth. Eovaldi was pulled just shy of a quality start at 71 pitches, as he is getting eased back in after returning from the injured list (groin) May 28. Through nine starts, Eovaldi now owns a 2.70 ERA, 1.12 WHIP and 53:19 K:BB and will aim to continue building up his pitch count against the Giants this weekend.

Rangers' Marcus Semien: Homers in loss
Rotowire
Semien went 2-for-3 with a solo home run in a 2-1 loss to the Tigers on Monday.
Semien opened the scoring with a leadoff homer off Tarik Skubal and added a single and a walk in the third and fifth innings. The homer was Semien's first since May 17, and he has now reached base in 10 of his 14 June plate appearances. On the season, Semien is slashing .263/.322/.445 with 10 homers, 35 RBI, and 43 runs scored in 270 plate appearances.

Rangers' Nathaniel Lowe: Losing work against lefties
Rotowire
Lowe is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Tigers.
Though Lowe owns a 113 wRC+ against left-handers for his career, he's struggled to maintain that level of effectiveness in those matchups so far this season. Over 55 plate appearances versus lefties in 2024, Lowe is slashing .250/.327/.292 (80 wRC+). At least for the time being, manager Bruce Bochy is seemingly viewing Lowe as a platoon player. The first baseman is on the bench for the third game in a row, with the Rangers facing lefties in each of those contests.

Rangers' Nathan Eovaldi: Starting series opener Monday
Rotowire
Eovaldi will start Monday's game against the Tigers at Globe Life Field.
Eovaldi returned from the 15-day injured list last Tuesday and took back his spot in the Texas rotation, but he covered just three innings and tossed 37 pitches in the Rangers' 4-2 win over the Diamondbacks. Because Eovaldi didn't go on a minor-league rehab assignment prior to being activated, the Rangers deliberately limited his workload in what was his first start since May 2. Eovaldi didn't report any renewed discomfort with his right groin coming out of the outing against the Diamondbacks, so he should be in store for a more typical starter's workload Monday.

Rangers' Gerson Garabito: Works in relief Saturday
Rotowire
Garabito struck out one and allowed two hits and one walk over a scoreless inning out of the bullpen in Saturday's 7-0 win over the Marlins.
After giving up one run in a 3.2-inning start in his MLB debut May 26 versus the Twins, Garabito went nearly a week without any usage before he finished off Saturday's blowout win. Despite making his most recent appearance in relief, Garabito could be an option to make another start either Tuesday or Wednesday versus the Tigers, with Dane Dunning presumably taking the hill for one of those games and Garabito or Jose Urena getting the nod for the other contest. Texas could get Jon Gray (groin) back from the injured list as soon as this weekend, so Garabito likely won't be in line for any additional starts in the near future if he does in fact re-enter the rotation against Detroit.

Rangers' Kumar Rocker: Slated to face hitters
Rotowire
Rocker (elbow) threw a three-inning bullpen session May 18 and could be cleared to face hitters this week, Evan Grant of The Dallas Morning News reports.
According to Grant, Rocker's extended bullpen session was designed to get a biomechanical reading on the right-hander, who underwent Tommy John surgery May 20, 2023. Rocker is likely to face hitters in live batting practice multiple times before initiating an extended minor-league rehab assignment, perhaps at some point shortly before or after the All-Star break. The 2022 first-round draft pick compiled a 3.86 ERA and 1.00 WHIP over 28 innings at High-A Hickory last season before he required the elbow procedure.

Rangers' Tyler Mahle: Slated to face live hitters
Rotowire
Mahle (elbow) is expected to face live hitters Monday, Kennedi Landry of MLB.com reports.
Mahle has been throwing bullpen sessions over the past few weeks, and facing live hitters appears to be just another step in the recovery process. It's been a little more than a year since the right-hander underwent Tommy John surgery, and Mahle isn't expected to be ready for game action until some point after the All-Star break.

Rangers' Jon Gray: Scheduled for live batters
Rotowire
Gray (groin) is scheduled to face live hitters Monday, Kennedi Landry of MLB.com reports.
A clearer indication of when Gray could return from the 15-day injured list should emerge following Monday's session. At the time of his placement on the IL, the right-hander wasn't expected to miss much more than the minimum 15 days. Per Evan Grant of The Dallas Morning News, Gray could be an option to rejoin the Texas rotation as soon as Friday versus the Giants if Monday's live session goes off without a hitch.

Rangers' Max Scherzer: Completes bullpen session
Rotowire
Scherzer (back/arm) threw a bullpen session Saturday, Kennedi Landry of MLB.com reports.
After throwing about 25 pitches during Saturday's session, Scherzer gave a thumbs-up when he arrived at the clubhouse Sunday. Depending on how he recovers and how his conversations with the training staff go, Scherzer could face live batters Monday. Scherzer could then resume a rehab assignment soon thereafter.

Rangers' Adolis Garcia: Slugs homer in easy win
Rotowire
Garcia went 2-for-5 with a solo home run and an additional RBI during Sunday's 6-0 win over the Marlins.
Garcia snapped a five-game hitless streak Sunday, delivering two hits and pushing his RBI total to 40 this season. He also notched his 13th long ball of 2024, taking Trevor Rogers yard in the sixth frame. Garcia ranks top 15 in homers and RBI this year and is slashing .231/.285/.462 through 212 plate appearances.

Rangers' Andrew Heaney: Stumps Marlins
Rotowire
Heaney (2-6) picked up the win Sunday against Miami, allowing four hits and no walks across six scoreless innings. He struck out seven.
Heaney generated his second consecutive win Sunday and turned in his first scoreless outing of 2024 as a starter. The lefty has settled in after stumbling to a 6.26 ERA over five starts in April, owning a 2.43 ERA and 31 strikeouts across 33.1 innings since May 1. Heaney is tentatively scheduled for a home start against the Giants next Sunday.
Rangers' Andrew Knizner: Heading back to bench Sunday
Rotowire
Knizner is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Marlins.
Knizner will be back on the bench after he started at catcher in Saturday's 7-0 win, finishing 1-for-3 with an RBI and a run. The start was just his second in the Rangers' last 11 games, as Knizner continues to receive limited playing time behind No. 1 backstop Jonah Heim.
Duran will start at first base and bat eighth in Sunday's game against the Marlins.
Duran will stay in the lineup for a fourth straight game, with two starts coming against left-handed pitchers and two coming versus righties. While Evan Carter (back) is on the injured list, Duran looks to be a priority for the final spot in the Texas lineup over the likes of Robbie Grossman and Travis Jankowski.

Rangers' Nathaniel Lowe: Idle against lefty again
Rotowire
Lowe is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Marlins.
The lefty-hitting Lowe will remain on the bench for the second day in a row while the Rangers oppose another left-handed starter (Trevor Rogers). The Rangers will turn to Ezequiel Duran to replace Lowe at first base.

Rangers' Corey Seager: Streak reaches 14 games
Rotowire
Seager went 3-for-4 with a walk and a run scored in Saturday's 7-0 win over Miami.
The calendar flipping from May to June did nothing to slow down Seager. After posting a 1.047 OPS during May, Seager extended a hitting streak to 14 games on the first day of the new month. He's 19-for-51 (.373) with nine home runs, 14 RBI and 11 runs scored during the streak.

Rangers' Robbie Grossman: Makes impact in win
Rotowire
Grossman went 2-for-4 with a walk, a double, two RBI and a run scored in Saturday's 7-0 win over the Marlins.
Grossman doubled in the Rangers' first run then produced another run with a seventh-inning single. Until Saturday, he hadn't made an impact since the Rangers acquired him from the White Sox -- Grossman entered the game 2-for-20 with Texas.
