Gray (6-4) allowed five runs on seven hits and two walks over six innings Friday, striking out four and taking a loss against Houston.
EDGE Analysis
Gray gave up one run through four frames before the Astros plated four total runs in the fifth and sixth innings. After a stretch of six straight outings allowing fewer than two runs, he's been charged with 12 runs over 13.1 frames in his last three appearances. The 31-year-old righty still owns a solid 3.21 ERA with a 73:27 K:BB through 15 starts. Gray is currently lined up to start in Boston next week.

Gray (6-3) took the loss Saturday as the Rangers were downed 1-0 by the Yankees, allowing one run on three hits and two walks over five innings. He struck out four.
EDGE Analysis
A Billy McKinney solo shot in the fourth inning accounted for the game's only run. It was a strong bounce-back effort from Gray after he got roughed up by Toronto in his last trip to the mound, and the right-hander has given up one run or less in seven of his last eight starts, posting a 1.97 ERA, 0,83 WHIP and 50:11 K:BB through 50.1 innings over that stretch. He'll look to keep rolling in his next outing, likely to come at home next week against the Tigers.

Gray did not factor into the decision Sunday, allowing six runs on six hits and three walks over 2.1 innings against the Blue Jays. He struck out two.
EDGE Analysis
Gray struggled mightily Sunday, lasting just 2.1 innings after throwing seven or more frames in five of his previous six appearances. Over that six-start stretch, Gray posted a 1.99 ERA to pair with a 46:9 K:BB across 45.1 innings. Considering he hadn't allowed more than four runs in a game prior to Sunday's start, fantasy managers should expect Gray to bounce back. However, he's tentatively lined up for a tough start against the Yankees at Yankee Stadium next week.

Gray (blister) is listed as the Rangers' scheduled starter for Sunday's game against the Blue Jays at Globe Life Field.
EDGE Analysis
Gray's last turn was skipped due to a blister, but it was deemed to be a minor issue. The right-hander has been dominant since early May, going 5-1 and pitching to a 0.84 ERA over 43 innings (six starts) including a complete game June 7.

The Rangers are hopeful that Gray (blister) will be able to start Sunday against the Blue Jays, Evan Grant of The Dallas Morning News reports.
EDGE Analysis
Gray had to be scratched from his last scheduled start because of a blister on his pitching hand, but the issue has been deemed minor and the team remains optimistic he'll be able to avoid a stint on the injured list. The right-hander boasts a 2.32 ERA on the season and struck out 12 in a complete game his last time out.

Texas manager Bruce Bochy said Wednesday that Gray (blister) will start within the next four or five days, Peter Rauterkus of the Dallas Morning News reports. "We haven't penciled in what day he's gonna pitch yet, but it's gonna be within four or five days," Bochy said during his pregame Wednesday news conference.
EDGE Analysis
Gray was scratched from a start Tuesday in a move designed to prevent the right-hander from missing extended time. The Rangers don't have a day off until next Thursday, so if Gray needs more time, Bochy will have to add another starter or go with a bullpen day.

Gray has been scratched from Tuesday's scheduled start versus the Angels due to a blister, Shawn McFarland of The Dallas Morning News reports.
EDGE Analysis
The hope seems to be at this point that it's a minor issue and Gray should be able to avoid the injured list, but Rangers manager Bruce Bochy said Monday he's not sure when Gray's next start will be. Bochy also declined to name a starter in Gray's place Tuesday, but Cody Bradford was spotted at Globe Life Field, per Kennedi Landry of MLB.com. Gray certainly showed no signs of the blister being an issue in his last outing, striking out 12 in a complete-game effort against the Cardinals.

Gray (6-2) took the loss Wednesday despite allowing just one run on four hits while striking out 12 over nine innings versus the Cardinals.
EDGE Analysis
Gray made it six straight starts without allowing more than one run, but the Rangers' bats had a rare off night. He was able to throw the complete game on just 100 pitches (76 strikes) in a dominant outing spoiled only by Alec Burleson's eighth-inning solo home run. Gray now has a 2.32 ERA, 0.96 WHIP and 63:20 K:BB through 73.2 innings this season. This was just the second complete game of his career. He's projected for a home start versus the Angels next week.

Gray (5-1) allowed one run on four hits and a walk over seven innings Friday, striking out eight and earning a win over Baltimore.
EDGE Analysis
After allowing a solo homer to Adley Rutschman in the first inning, Gray was nearly untouchable. Gray cruised through seven frames while the Rangers dominated the 12-2 victory. He's been lights-out over his last four starts, yielding just three runs with a 27:5 K:BB over 27 frames while earning a win in each outing. The veteran righty lowered his season ERA to 2.81 and has won five consecutive decisions since losing his season debut. Gray is currently projected for a matchup in Detroit next week.
