The White Sox optioned Gray to Triple-A Charlotte on Tuesday.

EDGE Analysis

Gray was with the big club for only one day and did not make an appearance. He's clearing out to make room for the return of Luis Robert (hamstring) to the active roster.

The White Sox recalled Gray from Triple-A Charlotte on Monday.

EDGE Analysis

Gray has spent the entire 2025 season at Charlotte, slashing .280/.349/.493 with nine home runs across 62 contests. The White Sox selected Gray's contract Saturday to add him to the 40-man roster, and the 29-year-old will now join the 26-man active roster after Ryan Noda (quadriceps) was placed on the 10-day injured list Monday in a corresponding move. Gray is likely to be used mostly in a reserve role while he's up with the big club.

The White Sox reassigned Gray to minor-league camp Wednesday.

EDGE Analysis

Gray turned in a .977 OPS this spring and some reports suggested that he might even get some starts at shortstop with the White Sox, but he ultimately wasn't able to crack the big-league roster. He'll begin the season at Triple-A Charlotte.

The White Sox signed Gray to a minor-league contract Friday that includes an invitation to spring training.

EDGE Analysis

Gray, who turns 29 in March, has managed just a .495 OPS in his limited (17 games) action at the big-league level. He had a couple 30-homer seasons during his time with Triple-A Durham in the Rays organization and is going to a talent-deficient roster, giving Gray a shot to make the team.

Gray elected free agency Monday.

EDGE Analysis

Gray passed through waivers unclaimed after being removed from the Pirates' 40-man roster, and he's chosen to hit free agency rather than accept an outright assignment. The 28-year-old has gone 5-for-33 at the plate during his sparse opportunities at the big-league level over the last two seasons.

Gray was designated for assignment by Pittsburgh on Monday, Alex Stumpf of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Gray will vacate the 40-man roster to make room for Andrew McCutchen, who was officially added to the roster Monday after putting pen to paper on a one-year deal in December. Gray found little success at the big-league level in 2024 during stops with the Marlins and Athletics, going 3-for-28 with one double and three walks over 15 games.

The Pirates claimed Gray off waivers from the Athletics on Thursday.

EDGE Analysis

Gray appeared in 15 MLB games last season between the Marlins and A's, during which he went 3-for-28 with 16 strikeouts. He fared much better in Triple-A, where he slashed .248/.317/.462 across 470 plate appearances. He'll claim a spot on the 40-man roster as he joins the Pirates organization, though he'll most likely begin the season with Triple-A Indianapolis.

The Athletics optioned Gray to Triple-A Las Vegas on Tuesday.

EDGE Analysis

Gray had made six straight starts against right-handed pitching, but he was just 3-for-21 with 13 strikeouts in eight games with the Athletics. Ryan Noda will replace him on the roster.

Gray will start at first base and bat seventh in Sunday's game against the Tigers.

EDGE Analysis

The lefty-hitting Gray has now picked up starts in five consecutive matchups with right-handed starters or primary pitchers and looks to have displaced Daz Cameron for a regular spot in the Oakland lineup. Since his Sept. 1 call-up from Triple-A Las Vegas, Gray has gone 3-for-17 with a double and three walks.

Gray went 1-for-4 with a double in a loss to the Mariners on Wednesday.

EDGE Analysis

Gray recorded his first hit in an Athletics uniform when he laced one of three doubles in the lopsided loss for Oakland. The 28-year-old, who had just five career big-league plate appearances prior to this season, is capable of playing across the infield and has now drawn three straight starts.
