Gray (elbow) is traveling with the team and will start playing catch Wednesday, Patrick Saunders of The Denver Post reports.
EDGE Analysis
Manager Bud Black has expressed optimism about Gray's elbow soreness. Gray landed on the injured list June 5, but has no structural damage so he should be on-track to return in the near future.

Rockies manager Bud Black said Saturday that the MRI on Gray's elbow revealed no structural damage, Patrick Saunders of The Denver Post reports.
EDGE Analysis
Gray was placed on the 10-day injured list earlier Saturday with a right flexor strain. This latest update resembles much better news for the right-hander, and per Nick Groke of The Athletic, the plan is for Gray resume throwing at some point during the upcoming road trip. An exact timeline for when he could rejoin the Rockies' rotation isn't known at this point, but a mid-June return figures to be a best-case scenario.

Gray was placed on the 10-day injured list with a right flexor strain Saturday.
EDGE Analysis
Gray left Friday's start against Oakland with a forearm/elbow issue, and he's been diagnosed with a flexor strain after further testing. It's not yet clear when he'll be cleared to return to game action. Chi Chi Gonzalez will serve as a starter while the right-hander is sidelined.

Gray left Friday's game against the Athletics with right elbow soreness and tightness in his forearm, Patrick Saunders of The Denver Post reports.
EDGE Analysis
Gray allowed five runs on four hits and two walks in 2.1 innings prior to his departure, and manager Bud Black said that the right-hander's injury contributed to his lackluster performance. The severity of the issue isn't yet known, but Gray's status is worth monitoring in the coming days.

Gray is now scheduled to make his next start Friday at home against the Athletics, Danielle Allentuck of The Denver Gazette reports.
EDGE Analysis
Earlier in the week, Gray was listed as the Rockies' probable starter for Thursday's series finale with the Rangers at Coors Field, but manager Bud Black ultimately elected to push the right-hander back a day in the pitching schedule, allowing Austin Gomber to get the nod Thursday. Both Gomber and Gray made starts in the May 29 doubleheader with the Pirates, so the late switch in the pitching schedule won't affect the other members of the rotation.

Gray fell to 4-5 on the season after allowing three runs in three innings of work in the first half of Saturday's doubleheader against the Brewers, striking out two while walking three and allowing four hits.
EDGE Analysis
None of Gray's innings were clean, though all the damage was done in the second inning. He allowed each of the first four runners to reach base, including a walk to opposing starter JT Brubaker, with the first three coming around to score. Gray has now allowed three or more earned runs in each of his last three starts, striking out just six total batters across that stretch.

Gray allowed three runs on two hits and two walks over six innings in Sunday's win against Arizona. He struck out three and did not factor in the decision.
EDGE Analysis
Gray cruised through four perfect innings before yielding a leadoff single in the fifth. Arizona finally got on the board in the sixth after a Ketel Marte sacrifice fly followed by a two-run blast off the bat of Pavin Smith. Gray avoided losing a third straight game but still slightly raised his season ERA to 3.59. He's lined up to take the mound in Pittsburgh late next week.

Gray (4-4) was tagged with the loss Monday against the Padres after allowing seven runs (five earned) on 10 hits and a walk while fanning one across 5.2 innings.
EDGE Analysis
Gray was coming off two straight outings allowing two or fewer runs, but the wheels came off in this one -- he gave up season-worst marks in runs allowed, earned runs allowed and strikeouts, while also tying his season-worst mark in the hits department. He still owns a 3.48 ERA, but this was a clear step in the wrong direction for the right-hander. Gray is slated to start during the upcoming weekend series against the Diamondbacks at home.
