Rangers' Jon Gray: To begin light throwing
Rotowire
Gray (wrist) has been cleared to do some light throwing next week, Shawn McFarland of The Dallas Morning News reports.
Gray received clearance after getting good results from an X-ray earlier this week. It will be a slow and steady progression for the right-hander as he works his way back from a fractured right wrist. Gray doesn't have a timetable, but a return before the All-Star break seems unlikely.
Gray (wrist) the hard cast removed from his right arm Tuesday, Shawn McFarland of The Dallas Morning News reports.
Gray suffered a fractured wrist during spring training after being struck by a 106-mph line drive, but he seems to be recovering well. The 33-year-old righty expects to start up a throwing program within the next several weeks, at which point a return timeline may begin to emerge.
The Rangers placed Gray (wrist) on the 60-day injured list Tuesday, Evan Grant of The Dallas Morning News reports.
The transaction frees up a spot on the 40-man roster for the addition of Patrick Corbin, who was inked to a one-year contract Tuesday. Gray now won't be eligible to make his season debut until late May as he recovers from a fractured right wrist.
Manager Bruce Bochy said Saturday that Gray (wrist) will miss "extended time," Shawn McFarland of The Dallas Morning News reports.
Early estimates have Gray sitting out roughly six weeks with a fractured right wrist, though nothing is set in stone at this point. While he's out, Kumar Rocker and Jack Leiter should both have a decent shot at making the Rangers' Opening Day rotation.

Rangers' Jon Gray: Fractures wrist Friday
Rotowire
Gray was diagnosed with a fractured right wrist after getting hit by a comebacker during Friday's Cactus League game versus Colorado, Evan Grant of The Dallas Morning News reports.
Gray took a 106.4-mph line drive off his wrist in the fourth inning of Friday's contest and was promptly removed from the game. Manager Bruce Bochy didn't provide an estimate for when the 33-year-old righty might return, but the injury will certainly delay his 2025 debut by a significant amount of time. With both Gray and Cody Bradford (elbow), set to miss Opening Day, there's a good chance that Kumar Rocker and Jack Leiter will both be part of Texas' initial rotation.

Rotowire
Gray was removed from Friday's Cactus League game against the Rockies after getting hit on the right arm by a comebacker, Evan Grant of The Dallas Morning News reports.

Rangers' Jon Gray: Being used as starter this spring
Rotowire
Gray has made two starts this spring, tossing five scoreless innings with a 3:0 K:BB.

However, while it's possible the team might revisit the idea down the line, it fully intends to open the season with Gray as a member of its rotation. Gray posted a 4.47 ERA and 86:28 K:BB over 102.2 innings covering 19 starts and four relief appearances in 2024.

Rangers' Jon Gray: Makes second spring start
Rotowire
Gray allowed four hits and struck out two over three scoreless innings in Sunday's spring start against Arizona.
Gray worked around two hits in each of the first two innings before retiring the side in order in his final frame. The right-hander threw 40 pitches (29 for strikes). He also worked on mechanical issues during his second Cactus League start after experiencing a drop in velocity his first time out. As Gray described it to Shawn McFarland of the Dallas Morning News following Sunday's outing, he was standing "tall" on the mound, which means he kept his right leg straight instead of it buckling as he pushed forward to deliver the ball. Gray's fastball averaged 93.7 mph during his first start; it averaged 94.4 on Sunday.
