2024 Fantasy Outlook
Following a complete game, 12-strikeout effort on June 7, Gray was sitting on a 2.32 ERA, 0.96 WHIP and 63:20 K:BB over 73.2 frames across his first 12 starts. His next outing was skipped due to a blister and that kicked off a 17-start run which saw him hold a 5.70 ERA. Gray did rebound with some fine relief work in the postseason, but he has yet to put things altogether as many hoped he'd be able to once he left Colorado. The righty's biggest problem seems to be that his fastball has always been way too hittable. It earned a negative-20 Run Value per Baseball Savant, which was the fourth-worst grade of any pitch in baseball and especially damaging because it's Gray's most-used offering. Meanwhile, his slider has consistently earned high grades and should probably be thrown more often. Gray will benefit from the Rangers' offense backing him and it still feels like he might have another level. You shouldn't draft him expecting it, though. Read Past Outlooks
Completes extended bullpen session
Gray (groin) threw 40-to-50 pitches during a bullpen session Monday, Kennedi Landry of MLB.com reported Tuesday.
ANALYSIS
Gray will throw another bullpen session Wednesday, and if all goes well, manager Bruce Bochy said the right-hander could be an option to return from the 15-day injured list to start Sunday versus the Giants, per Shawn McFarland of The Dallas Morning News. Once Gray is reinstated, Jose Urena will likely be pushed out of the rotation.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Unlikely to pitch in Game 1
Gray, who was added to the Rangers' roster for the ALCS, will only pitch in an emergency during Game 1 against the Astros on Sunday, reports Jeff Wilson of RangersToday.com.
ANALYSIS
Gray missed the first two rounds of the playoffs while dealing with forearm tightness, but he'll be fully available for the ALCS starting with Game 2 on Monday. If he's not used out of the bullpen, the right-hander should be an option to start once the series moves to Texas on Wednesday.

Gray's tenure with the Rangers began inauspiciously enough. He hit the injured list with a blister after his first start and was forced to the IL a second time in April with an MCL sprain in his left knee. The right-hander went on to miss more than a month in the second half with an oblique strain. Around those injuries, Gray was quite good, pitching to a 3.96 ERA, 1.13 WHIP and 18.2 K-BB% across 24 starts. Gray gets a lot of whiffs with his slider and the best may still be yet to come with him now that he's out of Colorado. The stop-and-start nature of his 2022 campaign could make Gray a nice value at the draft table. He tends to get lost in the shuffle, but this is a quality arm.
