Nathan Eovaldi

Red Sox starter Nathan Eovaldi was scheduled to throw a bullpen session on Sunday as he continues his recovery from elbow surgery, but he has suffered a setback, according to Red Sox beat writer Pete Abraham. Eovaldi is reportedly dealing with biceps soreness, and his next bullpen session has been pushed back.

This could just be the Red Sox taking a cautious approach with Eovaldi, but any kind of arm soreness is concerning for a pitcher working their way back from injury. Monitor his status this week for an update but expect for the Red Sox to give him at least a few days off from throwing.

This is a minor setback for Eovaldi owners, but a setback nonetheless. It was thought that Eovaldi would begin a rehab stint as early as next week, though that appears to be a long shot at this point as he works his way back from late-April elbow surgery.

Eovaldi has been on the injured list since mid-April with an elbow injury that required surgery but has been making progress and has been throwing bullpen sessions over the last couple of weeks. If his simulated game goes well this week, his next step would likely be a rehab assignment.
