Jon Gray's Stats, Metrics, Game Logs, Projections & Rankings

Texas Rangers right-hander Jon Gray (foot) will miss the rest of the 2024 season due to a neuroma in his foot. Gray was scheduled to start at Globe Life Field on Thursday against the division-rival Los Angeles Angels, but that assignment could now go to right-hander Jose Urena. The Rangers placed Gray on the 15-day injured list on Tuesday. The 32-year-old veteran will finish his third year in Texas with a disappointing 5-6 record, 4.47 ERA (3.71 FIP), a 1.31 WHIP, 86 strikeouts (his fewest since the shortened 2020 season) and 28 walks in 102 2/3 innings over 23 appearances (19 starts). Fantasy managers were expecting more out of Gray ever since he left hitter-friendly Coors Field. In his three years with the Rangers, he's posted a 4.16 ERA (4.05 FIP) with a 1.24 WHIP, 362 strikeouts and 121 walks in 387 1/3 innings. Injuries got in the way in 2024.

The Texas Rangers are hoping to activate right-hander Jon Gray (groin) from the 15-day injured list on Tuesday. It's unclear when Gray will make his first start off the IL, but it's possible that he could pitch out of the bullpen as early as Tuesday at Globe Life Field against the Pittsburgh Pirates. The 32-year-old veteran has been sidelined with a strained right groin since late July and did not go on a minor-league rehab assignment, so we won't be recommending him as a fantasy streamer right away. In 20 appearances (17 starts) this year, he's gone 5-4 with a 3.73 ERA (3.34 FIP), a 1.25 WHIP and a 78:23 K:BB in 94 innings pitched. It's very possible that Gray could just be a rotation placeholder for the Ranger until one of Max Scherzer (shoulder) or Jacob deGrom (elbow) are ready to rejoin the big-league pitching staff.

Texas Rangers starting pitcher Jon Gray (groin) will not need to embark on a rehab assignment before returning to the big leagues according to Texas skipper Bruce Bochy. Jeff Wilson of RangersToday.com reported that the right-hander speculated that he might make a relief appearance before making his first start. Gray has been on the 15-day injured list since July 29 with a right groin strain. This is a great sign, as Gray seems to be recovering quite well and should be ready to take on an expected workload shortly after he returns. Prior to the injury, Gray posted a 3.72 ERA, 1.26 WHIP, and a 23:78 BB:K ratio through 94 innings of work this season. Once the 32-year-old returns to the rotation, fantasy managers should expect Jose Urena to shift to a bullpen role.
