Texas Rangers starting pitcher Jon Gray suffered a tough loss on Thursday versus the Oakland Athletics. Gray struggled entering this contest and had not made it through four innings all season. That changed when he tossed five innings of one-run ball, in which he allowed three hits, one run, one walk and struck out nine. His one blemish was a solo home run to Seth Brown in the top of the second inning. Even though it was against a weak Athletics lineup, it was still good to see Gray get back on track and remind managers of his value when he is at the top of his game. Gray will need to go longer into games and prove he can shut down a lineup other than the Athletics to be valuable in most formats, but Thursday's performance was a nice bounce-back. The veteran will look to keep it going in another favorable matchup against the Detroit Tigers on Tuesday.
Texas Rangers starting pitcher Jon Gray was saddled with a tough-luck loss in a 1-0 defeat against the Oakland Athletics. Gray pitched very well in this one, striking out nine over five frames while allowing just three hits and a walk. Unfortunately, one of those hits was a Seth Brown homer, which turned out to be the only run of the game. This was Gray's first good outing of the year, as he only lasted 3 innings in each of his first two appearances. Until he can string together some good starts, he is only a deeper league option who has some streamer appeal when the matchup is right.
Texas Rangers right-hander Jon Gray (neck) will make his first start of the season on Sunday versus the Chicago Cubs, with Cody Bradford getting the nod on Saturday. Gray was scratched from his scheduled exhibition start earlier this week due to a stiff neck, but the injury isn't serious and he will be able to take the ball for his first turn through the starting rotation. The last time the 32-year-old took the mound in spring training, he went five innings, so fantasy managers should expect Gray to be pretty limited from a pitch-count perspective on Sunday against Chicago. Gray got off to an amazing start for the Rangers in 2023 but struggled down the stretch. He pitches in a hitter-friendly home park, is injury-prone and has a hittable fastball, making him a backend fantasy starter in mixed leagues, at best.

Jon Gray will be a mainstay in a Texas Rangers rotation decimated by injuries to Max Scherzer (back) and Jacob deGrom (elbow), who won't return until June at the earliest. Gray reportedly will add his curveball and change-up more into his mix for 2024 to rely less on his fastball and slider. He was (9-8) with a 4.12 ERA and a 1.29 WHIP across 157 1/3 innings in 2023. His K% is only average at 21.6%. ATC projects a (9-9) season with a 4.30 ERA and 1.28 WHIP, along with 149 strikeouts in 155 innings. The NFBC ADP of 322 shows that most fantasy players view Gray as a kind of shock absorber who can fill innings for your team and not destroy your ratios. Gray projects as the No. 2 starter in Texas who can help fill in the back end of your fantasy rotation.
