Nathan Eovaldi placed on injured list with elbow inflammation, Blake Snell returns

Texas Rangers pitcher Nathan Eovaldi has been placed on the 15-day injured list due to right posterior elbow inflammation. This decision comes just days after Eovaldi allowed one run in over five innings against the Orioles. In contrast, the Los Angeles Dodgers are set to welcome back Blake Snell on Tuesday for their matchup against the Royals. Other notable injuries include Tampa Bay Rays pitcher Griffin Jax, who has also been sidelined with an elbow issue, and Hunter Greene of the Reds, who is facing season-ending surgery for a partially torn UCL. The injury news this week has significant implications for teams as they approach the latter part of the season.
