ARLINGTON, Texas (AP) \u2014 Texas Rangers right-hander Nathan Eovaldi is recovering from surgery for a sports hernia.<\/p>\n

Eovaldi is expected to be ready for the start of the season after having the surgery this week in Phoenix.<\/p>\n

The Rangers had revealed the potential hernia issue for the 35-year-old Eovaldi in their season-ending news conference last week. They said then that the pitcher was doing well in his recovery from the rotator cuff strain in his shoulder that prematurely ended\u00a0his standout season<\/a>\u00a0after his last start Aug. 22.<\/p>\n

Eovaldi was 11-3 with a\u00a0career-best 1.73 ERA<\/a>\u00a0in 22 starts, but he was short of the innings needed to qualify as the MLB leader. Pittsburgh starter Paul Skenes finished with a 1.97 ERA to lead the majors.<\/p>\n

It was Eovaldi\u2019s third consecutive season with at least 11 wins since joining his home state team, and last December he signed a new\u00a0$75 million, three-year contract<\/a>\u00a0through 2027. He and Hall of Fame strikeout king Nolan Ryan are the only big league players from Alvin, Texas.<\/p>\n

Eovaldi has a 102-84 career record and 3.89 ERA, and was part of World Series championships with Boston in 2018 and Texas in 2023. His first pitched for the Los Angeles Dodgers (2011-12), then Miami (2012-14), the New York Yankees (2015-16), Tampa Bay (2018) and Boston (2018-22).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"ARLINGTON, Texas (AP) \u2014 Texas Rangers right-hander Nathan Eovaldi is recovering from surgery for a sports hernia.
