Tristan Gray DVOA, Advanced Stats, & Fantasy Rankings

According to Alex Stumpf of MLB.com, the Pittsburgh Pirates have designated infielder Tristan Gray for assignment. This transaction opened a roster spot for Andrew McCutchen, who was added to the Pittsburgh roster on a one-year contract. Over the past two seasons, Gray has appeared in just 15 games at the major league level. Across this small stint, the Rice product held a .152/.222/.273 line and hit just one extra-base hit. Through 112 games at the Triple-A level last summer, Gray posted a solid .251/.322/.467 line with 25 doubles, 19 home runs, and a 41:121 BB:K ratio. This was very similar to the .235/.312/.485 line he held during the 2023 campaign at the top level of the minor leagues. Gray is expected to spend most of the 2025 season in the minor leagues.
