JON GRAY NEWS

Moved to 60-day IL The Rangers transferred Gray (foot) to the 60-day injured list Wednesday.

Impact Gray was ruled out for the season once he initially landed on the injured list Tuesday due to neuroma in his foot, and moving to the 60-day IL will officially put an early end to his year. Sandro Fabian was selected from Triple-A Round Rock to take Gray's place on the 40-man roster.

Placed on injured list The Rangers placed Gray (foot) on the 15-day injured list Tuesday.

Impact Neuroma in Gray's foot will keep him sidelined for the remainder of the season. He'll finish the 2024 campaign with a 4.47 ERA and 1.31 WHIP alongside an 86:28 K:BB across 102.2 innings.

Done for season with foot injury Gray will be sidelined for the remainder of the season due to neuroma in his foot, Jeff Wilson of AllDLLS.com reports.

Impact It's not clear when Gray's foot began bothering him, but he had coughed up 11 runs over 6.2 innings covering his last two starts. The veteran right-hander will finish with just 17.1 innings in the second half due to groin and foot problems. Gray had been slated to start Thursday against the Angels, but Jose Urena is now likely to take the ball for the Rangers that day.

Suffers sixth loss Gray (5-6) took the loss Friday against Oakland, allowing four runs on three hits and two walks over 4.2 innings. He struck out five.

Impact The Texas right-hander made his second consecutive poor start, as he has allowed 11 runs over 6.2 innings since re-joining the rotation Aug. 24. Gray looked shaky from the get-go, allowing a solo homer to Brent Rooker in the first before yielding a three-run long ball to JJ Bleday in the third. Gray has struggled mightily in the second half, pitching to a 6.75 ERA, 1.27 WHIP and 13:5 K:BB across 17.1 innings while bouncing between the rotation and bullpen with an IL stint mixed in. He tentatively lines up to make his next start against the Angels at home.

Hit hard in return to rotation Gray (5-5) allowed seven runs (six earned) on six hits and two walks while striking out one over two-plus innings to take the loss Saturday versus the Guardians.

Impact Gray worked out of the bullpen Tuesday versus the Pirates, pitching two innings in that appearance. He was able to stretch out to 53 pitches (36 strikes) in Saturday's start, but he was not very effective and exited after giving up a three-run home to Jhonkensy Noel in the third inning. Gray missed nearly a month due to a groin injury, and he's still likely to be on a pitch count for the next one or two starts at a minimum. For the season, he's posted a 4.22 ERA, 1.32 WHIP and 81:26 K:BB through 98 innings across 22 appearances (18 starts). Gray's next outing is tentatively projected to be at home versus the Athletics.

Slotting back into rotation Saturday The Rangers list Gray as their scheduled starter for Saturday's game in Cleveland.

Impact Gray returned from the injured list Tuesday after missing nearly a month with a groin strain, but because he didn't go out on a minor-league rehab assignment beforehand and wasn't fully stretched out, the Rangers opted to bring him back in a relief role. After Gray tossed two innings and 27 pitches out of the bullpen in Tuesday's 4-0 loss to the Pirates, the Rangers are ready to welcome him back in the rotation this weekend, though he could be on a somewhat limited pitch count. Gray will be taking over the rotation spot that had previously belonged to Tyler Mahle (shoulder), who was placed on the IL on Tuesday.

AUGUST 22 • ROTOWIRE

Pitches in relief Gray allowed one run on two hits and one walk while striking out two over two relief innings in Tuesday's 4-0 loss to Pittsburgh.

Impact Gray, who was reinstated from the 15-day injured list earlier in the day, is expected to rejoin the starting rotation, perhaps as early as this weekend. Because Gray didn't go out on a rehab assignment, Tuesday's relief appearance could viewed as a rehab outing or the first step toward building up innings.

AUGUST 21 • ROTOWIRE

Reinstated from injured list The Rangers reinstated Gray (groin) from the 15-day injured list Tuesday.

Impact With Tyler Mahle (shoulder) headed for the injured list, Gray will come off the IL to claim the open roster spot, and he'll presumably also fill the hole in the Rangers' rotation. However, the 32-year-old righty didn't head out on a rehab assignment before being reinstated, so there's also a chance he works out of the bullpen until he's able to build up to a starter's workload.

AUGUST 21 • ROTOWIRE

Could be activated Tuesday The Rangers are hopeful that Gray (groin) will be ready for activation from the 15-day injured list Tuesday, Evan Grant of the Dallas Morning News reports.

Impact Gray has been out of action since late July due to a right groin strain and will return without having gone on a rehab assignment. The hurler had indicated previously that he could pitch in relief initially, perhaps as soon as Tuesday against the Pirates. Gray could rejoin the rotation after that, although the impending returns of Max Scherzer (shoulder) and Jacob deGrom (elbow) leave his future role somewhat in flux.

Won't need rehab assignment Manager Bruce Bochy said Saturday that Gray (groin) won't require a minor-league rehab assignment, Jeff Wilson of RangersToday.com reports.

Impact Gray has been on the shelf since July 29 and began throwing off a mound earlier this week. While he seemingly has a ways to go before being fully stretched out, the Rangers are opting to keep Gray with the team instead of sending him out on a rehab assignment. According to Wilson, Gray speculated that he could pitch out of the bullpen for the Rangers during a three-game series against the Pirates that begins Monday. Though a Monday return may be ambitious, a temporary move to the bullpen could be utilized as part Gray's a ramp-up period before rejoining the rotation

Throws off mound Gray (groin) threw a bullpen session Wednesday, Shawn McFarland of The Dallas Morning News reports.

Impact Gray has been out of action since late July due to a right groin strain, and Wednesday appears to be the first time he's thrown a bullpen session since suffering the injury. The 32-year-old will require time to build back up to a starter's workload during either simulated games or a rehab assignment, so he figures to still be a few weeks away from activation.

Could miss a month of action Rangers manager Bruce Bochy said Monday that Gray (groin) could miss up to a month of action, Evan Grant of The Dallas Morning News reports.

Impact Gray tweaked his groin during warmups and had to be scratched from Sunday's scheduled start versus the Blue Jays before officially landing on the 15-day injured list Monday. It's not clear what grade the strain is, but it's evidently bad enough that the Rangers aren't expecting him back for several weeks. Dane Dunning, Jose Urena and Cody Bradford are options to fill Gray's rotation spot for now, but the Rangers are expected to get Tyler Mahle (elbow) back soon and Jacob deGrom (elbow) hopefully not long after that.

Goes on IL with groin strain The Rangers placed Gray on the 15-day injured list Monday with a right groin strain.

Impact Gray was diagnosed with the groin strain upon being sent in for further imaging after he was scratched before the first inning of his scheduled start in Sunday's 7-3 loss to the Blue Jays when he experienced discomfort during pregame warmups. The right-hander had been in line to make his next turn through the rotation this upcoming weekend versus Boston, but the Rangers could have long relievers Dane Dunning or Jose Urena step in for a spot start. Cody Bradford (rib/back) was activated from the 60-day injured list and could also be an option to replace Gray in the rotation, if he isn't needed in the bullpen during the three-game series in St. Louis that begins Monday.

Will get imaging for groin injury Gray plans to undergo imaging in the coming days to determine the severity of the right groin injury that forced him out his start in Sunday's 7-3 loss to the Blue Jays before the...

Impact Gray tweaked his lower-body during one of his final warmup pitches Sunday, and after consulting with manager Bruce Bochy, the right-hander was pulled from the game without facing a batter. Texas turned to three relievers to record all 24 outs in an impromptu bullpen day, but the Rangers may need to turn to long relievers Dane Dunning or Jose Urena or call up a pitcher from the minors to make a spot start next weekend against the Red Sox if Gray isn't fully healed from the groin injury by then. The Rangers should have a better feel for Gray's status heading into the weekend once the results of his imaging are in.
