Rangers manager Chris Woodward said Tuesday that he expects Gray (knee) to make his next start, Levi Weaver of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Gray exited early in his start Monday against the Yankees after 4.1 innings due to left knee soreness, the second time he's dealt with a knee issue this season. It doesn't look as though he'll have to miss any turns in the rotation, though he may wear a knee brace for his next few outings just to be safe. Gray tentatively lines up to make his next start Sunday at home versus the Red Sox.

The Rangers announced Gray's early exit from his start Monday against the Yankees was due to left knee soreness.
EDGE Analysis
Texas described Gray's removal from the contest with one out in the fifth inning as precautionary, but the severity of his injury won't be known until he's re-evaluated Tuesday. According to Levi Weaver of The Athletic, Gray apparently felt something in his knee while fielding an Isiah Kiner-Falefa bunt earlier in the contest, but this latest issue isn't concerned as serious as the low-grade MCL sprain that previously sent him to the injured list. Gray was cruising prior to his departure, ending the day with four punchouts over 4.1 scoreless innings while scattering three walks and two hits. He won't factor into the decision after exiting with the game tied at 0-0.

Gray left his start Monday against the Yankees with a team trainer, Kennedi Landry of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Gray exited with one out in the fifth inning, though that arguably doesn't count as an early exit, as he'd thrown just three innings in his return from a knee injury in his previous start. He'd pitched well up to that point, striking out four while walking three and allowing just two hits in 4.1 scoreless innings. The extent to which his removal was injury-related should become clear after the game.

Gray will start Monday's game against the Yankees, Kennedi Landry of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
The Rangers have had to shift their rotation multiple times due to a pair of rainouts in their series against the Yankees. As a result, Gray will have his start pushed back one day. In his place, Dane Dunning will start the first game of a doubleheader Sunday with Glenn Otto tabbed for the second matchup.

Gray (knee) was activated from the 10-day injured list and is starting Tuesday at Philadelphia, Levi Weaver of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
The 30-year-old landed on the shelf with a low-grade MCL sprain after his last start April 19, and he'll retake the mound for the Rangers exactly two weeks later. Gray has made only two starts this season, as he also suffered a finger injury Opening Day which required a short stint on the injured list. The right-hander threw 77 pitches over five innings his last time out and figures to face some minor workload restrictions Tuesday given his limited workload so far this season.

Gray (knee) was placed on the 10-day injured list Friday, retroactive to April 20.
EDGE Analysis
The 30-year-old will miss some time with a low-grade MCL sprain in his left knee, though it isn't expected to be a lengthy absence. Gray suffered the injury during Tuesday's start against the Mariners, which was his first game back after going down with a finger injury Opening Day. Glenn Otto will step into his spot in the rotation and will pitch Friday in Oakland.

Gray is dealing with a low-grade MCL strain in his left knee and will require a trip to the injured list, Levi Weaver of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Gray returned from the injured list for Tuesday's start against the Mariners after missing time with a finger issue. Although Gray will require an IL stint due to his knee injury, general manager Chris Young said that the injury isn't expected to force the right-hander to miss much time. Glenn Otto will now start Friday's series opener against Oakland, while Spencer Howard (finger) will be pushed back to Sunday. However, the Rangers are optimistic that Gray will be able to return after missing just one turn through the rotation.
