News
	Eovaldi has a 4.23 ERA, 1.17 WHIP, and 83:21 K:BB across 87.1 innings over 14 starts this season and faces San Diego tentatively on Saturday. He has completed at least seven innings in seven of those 14 starts. Bruno Mulé Mon, Jun 15th	Michael Wacha allowed four earned runs on nine hits and one walk while striking out two over seven innings in Thursday's 4-2 loss to Texas. Chase Davis Fri, Jun 12th
	Eovaldi has a 4.26 ERA, 1.18 WHIP, and 77:20 K:BB across 80.1 innings over 13 starts this season and has allowed at least four earned runs in each of his last three outings. Four scoreless innings Tuesday against Kansas City gave way to a Jac Caglianone solo homer in the fifth, and the sixth inning produced two doubles and a triple before Eovaldi was pulled with two outs and charged with three more runs. Bruno Mulé Wed, Jun 10th	Michael Wacha allowed four earned runs on eight hits and no walks while striking out two over 5.2 innings in Friday's loss to the Twins. Chase Davis Sat, Jun 6th
	Eovaldi has a 4.10 ERA, 1.18 WHIP, and 74:17 K:BB across 74.2 innings this season and faces Kansas City in his next start. Tuesday marked his seventh consecutive start completing six innings, though a season-high 11 hits accompanied the outing. Bruno Mulé Wed, Jun 3rd	Michael Wacha allowed six earned runs on eight hits and four walks while striking out five over five innings in Sunday's loss to the Rangers. Chase Davis Mon, Jun 1st
	Eovaldi has allowed 13 home runs across 68.2 innings and 11 starts this season, posting a 1.7 HR/9 rate. Thursday's outing was his third start allowing multiple homers and snapped a streak of four consecutive quality starts. He lines up for a road start against the Cardinals next week. Bruno Mulé Fri, May 29th	Michael Wacha allowed two earned runs on five hits and two walks while striking out five over seven innings in Monday's loss to the Yankees. Chase Davis Tue, May 26th
	Nathan Eovaldi allowed three earned runs on five hits and two walks while striking out six over seven innings in Saturday's loss to the Angels. Chris Schommer Sun, May 24th	Michael Wacha allowed one earned run on six hits and two walks while striking out eight over six innings in Wednesday's 4-3 loss to the Red Sox. Chase Davis Thu, May 21st
Notes
	Nathan Eovaldi delivered one of the most dominant seasons of his career in 2025, posting a microscopic 1.73 ERA with elite run suppression backed by a .194 opponent average and a career-best 26.0% strikeout rate. Durability remains the primary concern entering his age-36 season, but 2026 projections still view him as a high-quality rotation anchor with strong ratios and solid strikeout volume when healthy. In fantasy formats, Eovaldi profiles as an SP2 whose value hinges on workload but whose efficiency can meaningfully outperform his draft cost. Kelly Kirby - FantasyPros
