The Tampa Bay Rays announced Wednesday the trade of starting pitcher Nathan Eovaldi to the Boston Red Sox in exchange for pitcher Jalen Beeks.
After undergoing Tommy John surgery that kept him out for 2017, Eovaldi returned in the 2018 season and has produced a 3-4 record, 4.26 ERA, 0.98 WHIP and 53 strikeouts in 10 starts.
The New York Yankees released him two offseasons ago after he went 9-8 with a 4.76 ERA and 1.31 WHIP primarily as a starter in 2016.
New York acquired the now-28-year-old righty prior to the 2015 season in a trade with the Miami Marlins.
