Nathan Eovaldi (side) completed a bullpen session on Wednesday.

It's hardly set in stone, but Eovaldi expressed confidence to reporters afterwards that he'll be ready to take the ball this weekend against the Astros, most likely during Sunday's series finale. It's an extremely encouraging sign that he was able to resume throwing without any issues after being scratched from Monday's start against the Diamondbacks with left side discomfort. There should be a more definitive update on his status point prior to the weekend.
