Final start iffy due to soreness Gray said he pitched through some "lingering" soreness during Wednesday's start against the Pirates, Derrick Goold of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports.
Impact Gray didn't divulge any specificity as far as where he's feeling soreness, only saying that he "didn't feel great in general, physically" due to "some lingering things just kind of going on through the week." The righty struck out eight and was charged with four runs over 5.2 innings versus the Pirates in Wednesday's outing. Gray will throw a bullpen session this weekend before it's determined whether he'll make one more start or shut things down. If he does make one final start, it's tentatively lined up to be at Coors Field.

Fans eight in no-decision Gray did not factor into the decision in a win over the Pirates on Wednesday, allowing four runs on nine hits over 5.2 innings while striking out eight.
Impact Gray kept the Pirates at bay over the first three innings before surrendering back-to-back doubles to lead off the fourth, which would lead to two runs coming across for Pittsburgh. The veteran right-hander was later relieved by Matthew Liberatore in the sixth after the former allowed two-consecutive singles with two outs. Unfortunately for Gray, he would then see his chances for a win get washed away as Liberatore coughed up a three-run shot to the first batter he faced. Gray failed to make it through six frames Wednesday for the first time in his last five starts, though he did generate 16 whiffs in the contest en route to posting seven or more strikeouts for the third-straight outing. He now carries a 2.89 ERA in September through three starts to go along with a dominant 24:3 K:BB.
