Texas Rangers starting pitcher Nathan Eovaldi (35) left in the second inning of Tuesday night's game against the Toronto Blue Jays due to 'muscle fatigue', as described by the team.

After throwing just 39 pitches in two scoreless innings, Eovaldi left for the rest of the game, leaving Texas to rely on their bullpen. 

The Rangers went on to win 2-0, but the team expects the veteran won't miss his next start. 

Eovaldi re-signed with the Rangers this past offseason and has been on a tear this season, making a case for a possible Cy Young. 

His 1.56 ERA (earned run average) is fourth-best among starting pitchers, while his 0.81 WHIP (walks/hits per inning) tops all of Major League Baseball. 

Over the span of his 14-year career, Eovaldi has never finished a season with an ERA below 3.00, nor has he ever won a Cy Young Award. 

The two-time All-Star and two-time World Series Champion is on a run to possibly add the pitcher's award to his trophy case if he can remain healthy for the season.
