Josiah Gray Stats

Washington Nationals right-hander Josiah Gray will make his next start on Thursday on the road against the Pittsburgh Pirates after having his last turn in the starting rotation skipped. Thursday's start will be his first since Sept. 3. The 25-year-old has struggled since the beginning of August, allowing 22 earned runs on 24 hits (four home runs) while walking 21 and striking out 20 in 23 1/3 innings in six starts, so it was a good time for the Nats to skip him in the rotation. Hopefully the time off in the last week will do him well in a plus matchup against Pittsburgh. In 27 starts for the Nats this year, Gray has gone 7-11 with a 4.13 ERA, 1.49 WHIP and 122 strikeouts in his 141 2/3 innings of work.

Washington Nationals right-hander Josiah Gray kept the New York Mets at bay on Thursday, allowing no runs on just two hits over six innings of work. However, he walked three to just four strikeouts, and his club ultimately lost 2-1. Gray's in the midst of his best campaign in the big leagues, posting a 3.27 ERA with seven victories, but owns a meager 19.9% strikeout rate to go along with a 10.5% walk rate and 1.41 WHIP. Fantasy managers can roster the 25-year-old in deeper formats, but his value is quite limited in standard leagues.

Washington Nationals starting pitcher Josiah Gray will make his first start after the break on Sunday against the St. Louis Cardinals, according to Bobby Blanco of MASN. The third-year player made his first career All-Star game this season after posting a 3.41 ERA, 1.44 WHIP, and 21.1% strikeout rate with a 6-7 record across 18 first-half starts. Regression is likely coming for Gray, who owns a 4.79 FIP, so fantasy managers in shallower leagues can continue to leave him on the waiver wire, especially with his meager strikeout numbers.
