ARLINGTON, Texas (AP) — Texas right-hander Nathan Eovaldi left Thursday’s 6-0 win over Washington with right groin tightness and will get an MRI on Friday. “I went to throw it, and I kind of felt it,” Eovaldi said. “The initial thoughts that went through my head were I can call out the training staff, then maybe get the two warmup throws just to kind of check it out and stuff, but they wanted to play it safe and take me out of the game.” “He may need some rest,” manager Bruce Bochy said.
