Eovaldi is the best pitcher in baseball. But he’s 3-2 because of awful run support. Maybe gets 4th win here. Regardless, he’s just dominant with his stuff and just pitching to the game. Best pitcher in ball at this time.

Best P in baseball is in the other dugout.

Beaten up? Seven different positions in a month-and-a-half might do that.

Texas Rangers super utility man Josh Smith missed Monday’s series opener vs. the Colorado Rockies at Globe Life Field with what manager Bruce Bochy described as “back soreness.” He was originally scheduled to play Monday but reported the ailment in the mid afternoon.

Smith has played shortstop, third base, second base, first base and each of the three outfield positions for the Rangers this season and slashed .316/.395/.474 in the process. He was shaken up after he collided with Boston Red Sox infielder Romy Gonzalez while at first base last Tuesday but didn’t miss any time.

Here’s a handful of other injury updates to begin the homestand.

RHP Kumar Rocker: He threw a 26-pitch bullpen Monday and looked “free and easy” according to Bochy. Rocker (right shoulder impingement) has been sidelined since April 24 and could throw a live bullpen next, dependent on how he recovers from Monday’s session. It’s still unclear whether Rocker, who had an 8.10 ERA in his first five starts this season, will return to the major league rotation or head to the minors once he is healthy.

LHP Cody Bradford: Bradford (elbow sprain) is scheduled to throw a bullpen Thursday. It’d be his first since he was shut down midway through spring training. He’s thrown exclusively fastballs and changeups during his ramp-up to this point, but hasn’t started to spin the ball as a precaution.

OF Kevin Pillar: Pillar said Monday that he feels fine after he went on the injured list last week with lower back inflammation. He took batting practice Monday and is eligible to return on Thursday.
