Wed Jun 29 2022 | 13:44 | Jon Gray Picks Up Fourth Win Tuesday |
Texas Rangers starting pitcher Jon Gray earned his fourth win of the season Tuesday, throwing seven innings of one-run ball on five hits and two walks. He struck out eight batters. While the Kansas City Royals offense isn't the most formidable, this marks the fourth consecutive strong outing for the right-hander. Fantasy managers should take note, as Gray has allowed just four earned runs in 25 2/3 innings in that span while striking out 29 batters. He's a worthy add in most league formats. |

Fri Jun 17 2022 | 23:36 | Jon Gray Delivers Dominant Performance |
Texas Rangers starting pitcher Jon Gray seemingly had no issues on the mound versus the Detroit Tigers on Friday. Gray went seven shutout innings with six strikeouts in the victory over Detroit. He allowed five hits, but didn't allow any walks, which certainly helped. Gray has looked fairly decent during his first season away from Coors Field. He is posting a 4.27 ERA, 1.20 WHIP and 63/22 K/BB ratio over 11 starts. He'll get a favorable matchup against the Washington Nationals on Friday. |

Thu Jun 2 2022 | 09:45 | Jon Gray Strikes Out 12 Rays On Wednesday |
Texas Rangers starting pitcher Jon Gray had his best outing of the year thus far in Wednesday's game against the Tampa Bay Rays. He pitched seven innings and allowed three hits, two walks and one earned run while striking out a season-high 12 batters. Unfortunately, he wound up with a no decision in the game. Gray's first year with the Rangers has been a bit underwhelming overall. Over eight starts, he's gone 1-2 with a 4.83 ERA, a 1.22 WHIP and a 22.2% strikeout rate. Wednesday's quality start was just his second quality start of the year. The 30-year-old could be a hot waiver wire pickup this weekend as he lines up for two starts next week. He'll face the Cleveland Guardians on Monday and the Chicago White Sox on Sunday. |

Mon May 16 2022 | 11:04 | Jon Gray To Face Angels On Monday |
Texas Rangers starting pitcher Jon Gray (knee) is good to go for a start on Monday against the Los Angeles Angels after getting through a bullpen session on Saturday without any issues. Gray left his last start on Monday against the New York Yankees when he felt "something" in his left knee in the fifth inning. The right-hander went on the injured list earlier this year with a low-grade left knee strain. He will be wearing a brace on his knee and won't be a recommended DFS play against a tough opponent, even though manager Chris Woodward said Gray won't have any restrictions against the Angels. In his four starts this year, Gray has allowed 10 earned runs while walking seven and striking out 15 in 16 1/3 innings pitched. |

Mon May 9 2022 | 15:14 | Jon Gray Removed With Knee Soreness |
Updating a previous report, Texas Rangers starting pitcher Jon Gray (knee) was removed from his start early on Monday against the New York Yankees for precautionary reasons with left knee soreness. He will be re-evaluated on Tuesday. It's a tough one for Gray and any fantasy managers that were brave enough to start him against the Bronx Bombers, as he struck out four over 4 1/3 scoreless innings before departing. The 30-year-old right-hander felt something in his knee while fielding a bunt early in the game. It remains to be seen if Gray will be able to make his next scheduled start, but we'll have a better idea after the Rangers look at him on Tuesday. Coming into Monday's start, Gray had allowed 10 earned runs on 11 hits while walking four and striking out 11 in 12 innings in his first three starts for the Rangers. |

Fri Apr 22 2022 | 18:40 | Jon Gray Placed On Injured List With Knee Sprain |
The Texas Rangers placed starting pitcher Jon Gray (knee) on the 10-day injured list due to a low-grade left knee sprain. The move is retroactive to April 20. In a corresponding move, the Rangers called up right-handed pitcher Glenn Otto from Triple-A and he will start Friday night's game against the Oakland Athletics. The Rangers are hopeful that Gray will only miss one start. The 30-year-old has made two starts so far this year and both have been a bit shaky. He's allowed a total of six hits, three walks and seven earned runs over nine innings to start the season. |

Thu Apr 21 2022 | 21:10 | Jon Gray Dealing With An MCL Strain |
Texas Rangers pitcher Jon Gray (knee) is dealing with a low-grade MCL strain in his left knee and is expected to be placed on the injured list. According to Rangers general manager Chris Young, the injury is not likely to cost him a lot of time, hopefully, one start. The 30-year-old missed time due to a finger issue and recently returned from the injured list Tuesday. Glenn Otto will start Friday's series opener against the Oakland Athletics, followed by Martin Perez and Spencer Howard. This season, the right-hander is off to a slow start, posting a 0-1 record with a 7.00 ERA, 1,00 WHIP, and eight strikeouts over nine innings in 2022. Gray is day-to-day and will miss at least one turn in the rotation. |

Tue Apr 19 2022 | 18:00 | Jon Gray Activated From Injured List Ahead Of Tuesday's Start |
The Texas Rangers have activated starting pitcher Jon Gray (finger) from the 10-day injured list. He will make his second start of the year on Tuesday against the Seattle Mariners. To clear up a roster spot, the Rangers designated relief pitcher Greg Holland for assignment. Gray had a blister on the middle finger of his right hand, his throwing hand. The blister and the ensuing trip to the injured list only wound up costing him one start. He struggled in his Rangers debut on Opening Day, allowing three earned runs over four innings. We'll see if he can bounce back in his second outing on Tuesday. |

Sat Apr 9 2022 | 12:36 | Jon Gray Placed On The 10-Day Injured List |
The Texas Rangers placed pitcher Jon Gray (blister) on the 10-day injured list Saturday with a blister. Spencer Patton was recalled from the minors in a corresponding move. The 30-year-old will miss at least the next 10 days, and Texas will use a four-man rotation due to a pair of upcoming days off. Gray allowed three runs on three hits and two walks while striking out four over four innings in Friday's 10-8 loss to the Toronto Blue Jays. He did not factor into the decision. His injury isn't severe, and fantasy managers can expect Gray to return for the Seattle-Oakland trip starting April 19th. |

Tue Mar 29 2022 | 13:58 | Rangers Announce Jon Gray As Opening Day Starter |
Texas Rangers manager Chris Woodward announced on Tuesday that starting pitcher Jon Gray will be the team's Opening Day starter on April 8 at the Toronto Blue Jays. Gray gets a tough first assignment with the Rangers after signing a four-year, $56 million deal this offseason. The 30-year-old right-hander has always had fantasy upside given his strikeout ability, but calling Coors Field home for the first seven years of his career has kept him from reaching his true potential. Texas isn't the best environment for pitchers either, but it's certainly an upgrade. In his career, Gray has a 4.59 ERA, 1.34 WHIP and an 849 to 280 strikeout-to-walk ratio in 829 1/3 innings. He should be a solid source of innings, wins and strikeouts as RotoBaller's No. 41-ranked fantasy starter. |

Sun Nov 28 2021 | 22:08 | Jon Gray Lands In Texas On Four-Year Deal |
The Texas Rangers agreed to a four-year, $56 million deal with free-agent right-hander Jon Gray on Sunday night, pending a physical, according to a source. In addition to inking Gray on Sunday, the Rangers also added middle infielder Marcus Semien to a big seven-year, $175 million deal and added outfielder Kole Calhoun. With no qualifying offer attached to him, the Rangers won't have to give up a draft pick to sign Gray. The 30-year-old right-hander had a 4.59 ERA and 1.33 WHIP in 149 innings over 29 starts for the Colorado Rockies in 2021. Although Gray was actually better in his seven seasons at hitter-friendly Coors Field than on the road, the move out of Coors should make him more attractive in fantasy in a prominent role in Texas' rotation. |

Thu Nov 25 2021 | 20:12 | Jon Gray Drawing Interest From Rangers |
The Texas Rangers are rumored to have interest in free agent starting pitcher Jon Gray, according to Mark Feinsand of MLB.com. Gray, 30, spent his entire seven-year career with the Colorado Rockies before hitting the open market this offseason. The Rockies didn't give him a qualifying offer, and so isn't tied to draft pick compensation. He managed a 4.59 ERA and 4.22 FIP with 157 strikeouts over 29 starts and 149 innings in 2021. This production is a bit worse than his career ERA and FIP of 4.13 and 4.08, respectively. Gray doesn't stick out in any category but could be a good sleeper if he can drop his ERA while pitching out of Coors Field. |

Fri Nov 12 2021 | 21:14 | Tigers Reportedly Interested In Jon Gray |
The Detroit Tigers are reportedly interested in free-agent right-hander Jon Gray, according to MLB Network's Jon Morosi. Gray enjoyed a quality season in 2021 with the Colorado Rockies, pitching to a 4.59 ERA, a 3.95 FIP, 157 strikeouts and 58 walks in 149 innings pitched. A move to Detroit by Gray certainly wouldn't hurt from a fantasy standpoint, as he could be in line for more wins on a Tigers team that could be competitive next season. |

Sun Nov 7 2021 | 19:24 | Jon Gray Doesn't Receive A Qualifying Offer |
Colorado Rockies starting pitcher Jon Gray did not receive a one-year, $18.4 million qualifying offer from the team on Sunday. Gray, 30, could still re-sign with the Rockies and has expressed a desire to stay in Colorado. The Rockies offered Gray what was thought to be a three- or four-year deal in the range of $35-40 million during the final week of the season, but he turned it down. Gray is interested in returning to the team, but he will explore his options on the open market. The right-hander has inexplicably been really good at hitter-friendly Coors Field, so it makes sense for him to have interest in sticking around, but he went just 8-12 with a 4.59 ERA and 1.33 WHIP while striking out 157 and walking 58 in 149 innings over his 29 starts this year. He was even worse in 2020 with a 6.69 ERA in just eight starts. |

Sat Oct 2 2021 | 01:39 | Jon Gray Demolished In No-Decision |
Colorado Rockies starting pitcher Jon Gray took a no-decision on Friday when he allowed seven runs on seven hits with seven strikeouts over four innings in a 9-7 win over the D-Backs. What an odd outing for Gray, who shut out the Diamondbacks over his first two innings before completely imploding in the third. He surrendered all seven of his runs in the frame, which included a three-run homer to his Arizona counterpart, Humberto Castellanos, a solo shot to Ketel Marte, and a two-run bomb to Christian Walker. He did manage to punch out seven but this is not how the hard-throwing right-hander wanted to end his season. The 29-year-old got off to a solid start this season but then faded--mostly due to injury--down the stretch. He finishes with a 4.59 ERA, 1.33 WHIP, and 157:58 K/BB ratio over 149 innings (29 starts). |

Tue Sep 28 2021 | 19:40 | Jon Gray Starting On Friday |
Colorado Rockies starter Jon Gray will take the mound for a matchup with the Arizona Diamondbacks on Friday. Gray has pitched to a 4.28 ERA and a 4.07 FIP in 145 innings this season. He's also struck out 150 batters while giving up 58 walks. The veteran should be a quality streaming option for Friday's start against an Arizona lineup that has struggled to score runs at times. Only four teams have scored fewer runs than the Diamondbacks this season. |

Sun Sep 26 2021 | 12:57 | Jon Gray Coughs Up Four Runs In Loss |
Colorado Rockies starting pitcher Jon Gray took the loss on Saturday when he allowed four runs on five hits with five strikeouts over 4 2/3 innings in a 7-2 loss to the San Francisco Giants. Brandon Belt was the bane of Gray's existence on Saturday as the veteran first baseman swatted two home runs off him. The first one was a solo shot in the first inning but the second blast was a three-run tater to put San Francisco up 4-2 in the fifth inning. The Giants would add to that margin and saddle Gray with his 12th loss of the season. The hard-throwing right-hander has now gone eight straight games without notching a quality start, which is a troubling trend. He'll carry a 4.28 ERA, 1.32 WHIP, and 150:58 K/BB ratio over 145 innings (28 starts) into his final start of the season against Arizona on the road. |

Mon Sep 20 2021 | 12:24 | Jon Gray Takes Another Loss On Sunday |
Colorado Rockies starting pitcher Jon Gray took the loss on Sunday when he allowed two runs on three hits with two walks and five strikeouts over four innings in a 3-0 loss to the Nationals. Gray wasn't very efficient in this one, needing 70 pitches just to get through his four innings. He coughed up an RBI single to Yadiel Hernandez in the first inning and allowed a solo home run to Juan Soto in the third. The Rockies were blanked on offense so that was enough to give him the loss. The big right-hander now owns an 8-11 record, 4.17 ERA, 1.33 WHIP, and 145:58 K/BB ratio over 140 1/3 innings (27 starts). He'll take on the Giants at home in his next turn. |

Wed Sep 15 2021 | 00:21 | Jon Gray Whiffs Seven In Victory Over Atlanta |
Colorado Rockies starting pitcher Jon Gray earned the win on Tuesday when he allowed two runs on five hits with two walks and seven strikeouts over five innings in a 5-4 win over the Atlanta Braves. Gray was in control for the most part in this one, allowing just a Freddie Freeman RBI single in the first and a Dansby Swanson RBI double in the fourth inning. He also managed to punch out seven batters but this was just his first win since July 30. He also hasn't recorded a quality start in six straight turns. Gray now owns an 8.10 record, 4.16 ERA, 1.33 WHIP, and 140:56 K/BB ratio over 136 1/3 innings (26 starts). He'll look to pick up another win in his next start against the Nationals on the road. |
