Wentz has struggled for most of his big league career, but he’s found success over two appearances and seven innings thus far with Atlanta. While the small sample size caveats apply, Wentz has looked the part with eight strikeouts and two walks over seven scoreless frames.

Texas’ Nathan Eovaldi is scheduled to make his first start following the All-Star break on Friday night when the Rangers host the Atlanta Braves. Eovaldi (7-3) made his most recent start July 13, allowing one run in 7 2/3 innings in a 5-1 victory at Houston.
