Eovaldi gets the start after a brief stint on the injured list
The Boston Red Sox on Saturday will see return one of the team’s best arms.
Nathan Eovaldi will take the hill for game three of Boston’s four-game set against the Tampa Bay Rays at Tropicana Field. The right-hander was reinstated from the injured list earlier in the day.
J.D. Martinez is back in the Red Sox’s starting lineup, but this time, it’s Bobby Dalbec’s turn to sit. Michael Chavis will take over at first base while Yairo Muñoz fills the gap in left field.
