Eovaldi put on IL by Red Sox

The Boston Red Sox put starting pitcher Nathan Eovaldi on the 15-day injured list Sunday because of lower back inflammation.

Boston recalled right-hander Kutter Crawford from triple-A Worcester to take Eovaldi’s spot.

Eovaldi returned to Boston after starting against the Angels on Wednesday. Eovaldi pitched five innings of six-hit ball in a 1-0 win.

Eovaldi is 4-2 with a 3.16 earnedrun average in 12 starts. The move was retroactive to June 9.

Kopech leaves game

Chicago White Sox righthander Michael Kopech exited their game against the Texas Rangers because of right knee discomfort after throwing just 13 pitches in the first inning.

Kopech (2-2, 1.94 ERA) was checked on by the training staff with a full count and two outs against Adolis Garcia. Kopech threw a warmup pitch before spiking the baseball in frustration.
