Gray (groin) threw a bullpen session Wednesday, Shawn McFarland of The Dallas Morning News reports.

EDGE Analysis

Gray has been out of action since late July due to a right groin strain, and Wednesday appears to be the first time he's thrown a bullpen session since suffering the injury. The 32-year-old will require time to build back up to a starter's workload during either simulated games or a rehab assignment, so he figures to still be a few weeks away from activation.

Rangers manager Bruce Bochy said Monday that Gray (groin) could miss up to a month of action, Evan Grant of The Dallas Morning News reports.

EDGE Analysis

Gray tweaked his groin during warmups and had to be scratched from Sunday's scheduled start versus the Blue Jays before officially landing on the 15-day injured list Monday. It's not clear what grade the strain is, but it's evidently bad enough that the Rangers aren't expecting him back for several weeks. Dane Dunning, Jose Urena and Cody Bradford are options to fill Gray's rotation spot for now, but the Rangers are expected to get Tyler Mahle (elbow) back soon and Jacob deGrom (elbow) hopefully not long after that.

The Rangers placed Gray on the 15-day injured list Monday with a right groin strain.

EDGE Analysis

Gray was diagnosed with the groin strain upon being sent in for further imaging after he was scratched before the first inning of his scheduled start in Sunday's 7-3 loss to the Blue Jays when he experienced discomfort during pregame warmups. The right-hander had been in line to make his next turn through the rotation this upcoming weekend versus Boston, but the Rangers could have long relievers Dane Dunning or Jose Urena step in for a spot start. Cody Bradford (rib/back) was activated from the 60-day injured list and could also be an option to replace Gray in the rotation, if he isn't needed in the bullpen during the three-game series in St. Louis that begins Monday.

Gray plans to undergo imaging in the coming days to determine the severity of the right groin injury that forced him out of his start in Sunday's 7-3 loss to the Blue Jays before the beginning of the first inning, Ethan Diamandas of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Gray tweaked his groin during one of his final warmup pitches Sunday, and after consulting with manager Bruce Bochy, the right-hander was pulled from the game without facing a batter. Texas used three relievers to record all 24 outs in an impromptu bullpen day, but the Rangers may need to turn to long relievers Dane Dunning or Jose Urena or call up a pitcher from the minors to make a spot start next weekend against the Red Sox if Gray isn't fully healed from the groin injury by then. The Rangers should have a better feel for Gray's status heading into the weekend once the results of his imaging are in.

Gray was diagnosed with right groin discomfort after being removed from Sunday's game against the Blue Jays, Shawn McFarland of The Dallas Morning News reports.

EDGE Analysis

The right-hander never actually threw a pitch in the contest since he suffered the injury while warming up for the opening inning. The severity of the injury is unclear, though it's an encouraging development that he's not dealing with an arm injury.

Gray was removed from Sunday's start against the Blue Jays without throwing a pitch after he suffered an apparent injury during first-inning warmups, Shawn McFarland of The Dallas Morning News reports.

EDGE Analysis

It's disastrous timing for the Rangers after starter Michael Lorenzen was unable to finish the first inning of Saturday's contest, leaving the bullpen depleted. The specifics of Gray's injury are unclear, but his status should be updated in the near future.

Gray (5-4) picked up the win Tuesday against the White Sox, allowing one run on four hits and no walks across 7.2 innings. He struck out five.

EDGE Analysis

Gray finished off Tuesday's start by retiring 15 consecutive batters and pitched into the eighth inning on 80 pitches before being pulled. The outing marked Gray's first time exceeding six innings pitched since May 15. While he hasn't been a great source of strikeouts, notching 78 Ks in 94 innings, the veteran righty has been a reliable option, owning a 3.73 ERA and 1.26 WHIP. He's on track to close out a two-start week Sunday in Toronto.

Gray (4-4) earned the win over the Angels on Monday, allowing three runs on five hits and one walk while striking out two batters over five innings.

EDGE Analysis

Gray wasn't overpowering with just six whiffs and two punchouts, but he got seven runs of support through four frames and stuck around long enough to pick up the win. The veteran right-hander didn't provide much length, though, and he's pitched more than five innings only once in his past eight starts. Gray has also been tepid in the strikeout department this season -- his 7.7 K/9 is on pace for his lowest career mark with the exception of the pandemic-shortened 2020 campaign.

Gray allowed three runs on seven hits and two walks while striking out two over four-plus innings in a no-decision versus the Padres on Wednesday.

EDGE Analysis

Gray gave up a two-run home run to Manny Machado in the third inning and labored again early in the fifth. This was the fourth time in Gray's last six appearances that he failed to complete five innings, though two of those short outings were by design following his return from a groin injury. The right-hander is now at a 3.92 ERA, 1.33 WHIP and 71:22 K:BB over 80.1 innings across 17 appearances (15 starts) this year. Gray is lined up to make his next start in a favorable road matchup versus the Angels.

Gray (3-4) took the loss against the Orioles on Thursday, allowing eight runs on nine hits and one walk while striking out one batter over five innings.

EDGE Analysis

Gray fell behind 3-0 after one inning and 6-0 after three, and by the time he exited after five frames Texas was down 8-1. The right hander notched just two whiffs among his 73 pitches and recorded a season-low one punchout. Gray pitched well in registering six scoreless innings his previous time on the mound, but he surrendered nine runs over three frames in his previous start, so he's difficult for fantasy managers to gauge right now. His ERA on the season is still a respectable 3.77, but for context, it was at 2.21 coming into June.
