Fantasy Impact:
As much as fantasy managers may not like it, this is the right move for the Red Sox and Eovaldi. The veteran saw his velocity drop precipitously in his last start (though he was still effective), and although the team continued to say he could pitch through what was then described as a hip ailment, it's safer to give Eovaldi a little extra time. Do not expect him to miss much more than the minimum 15 days unless there's further news to suggest the injury is more serious than it seems and don't lower Eovaldi much in your rest-of-season rankings.
