Sonny Gray Fantasy Stats

St. Louis Cardinals starting pitcher Sonny Gray was outstanding on the mound during Friday's outing against the Cleveland Guardians. Gray was unbelievable as he allowed only one hit to Nolan Jones throughout the entire game. This is a bit surprising considering how bad Gray has been on the road this season. Despite that, Gray tossed a complete game shutout with 11 strikeouts in the victory. Gray has been inconsistent at times this season, but fantasy managers will get a huge boost from this outing. His next start should come against the Pirates in Pittsburgh next week.

St. Louis Cardinals right-hander Sonny Gray will make his next start this weekend against the division-rival Cincinnati Reds, according to the St. Louis Post-Dispatch's Derrick Goold. Gray was originally scheduled to start in Chicago in an excellent matchup against the White Sox on Thursday, but that game was postponed due to inclement weather. His last outing against the Milwaukee Brewers (six runs allowed in 4 1/3 innings) broke a string of four straight outings with three earned runs or less, with three of those four starts being scoreless showings. The 35-year-old veteran will be looking to bounce back this weekend, but it won't be easy against a Reds offense that currently ranks 10th in baseball with a .727 OPS. The former first-rounder has been serviceable in all fantasy formats with a 7-2 record, 3.84 ERA, 1.18 WHIP and 85 punchouts in 79 2/3 innings over 14 starts.

St. Louis Cardinals right-hander Sonny Gray (7-2) turned in one of his worst starts of the season in a 6-0 loss to the Milwaukee Brewers on Thursday. Gray yielded just one run in his first four innings, but the Brewers ambushed him for five in the fifth to chase him from the game. He ended the night allowing six earned runs on eight hits with four strikeouts and one walk over 4 1/3 innings. Gray had combined for 19 innings of three-run ball in his previous three starts to lower his season ERA to 3.35. Thursday's blowup caused that figure to climb to 3.84 over 79 2/3 frames. However, Gray still boasts terrific strikeout and walk numbers (85:15 K:BB), while underlying metrics such as FIP (3.22) and xFIP (3.05) are bullish on his chances of bouncing back. The 35-year-old will be in good position to do that in a start Wednesday against a weak Chicago White Sox offense.

St. Louis Cardinals starting pitcher Sonny Gray tossed 6 1/3 shutout innings in Friday's 5-0 win against the Los Angeles Dodgers. The Tennessee native scattered eight hits (two doubles) and struck out five to pick up his fourth straight quality start -- firing 63 of 90 pitches for strikes to improve to 7-1. Since yielding seven runs to the Phillies in mid-May, Gray has been superb, registering zero earned runs in three of his last four starts. He's punched out ten batters twice over that span, and issued just two free passes (30:2 K:BB). The 35-year-old may be out-pitching his metrics a bit, but there's little reason to believe he can't mostly keep this up. He'll bring a strong 3.35 ERA and 1.13 WHIP (13 starts) into his next appearance, a matchup with the visiting Toronto Blue Jays.

St. Louis Cardinals starting pitcher Sonny Gray tossed six scoreless innings in Monday's 11-4 win against the Detroit Tigers. The veteran right-hander scattered three hits (one double), issued one walk, and punched out ten batters to earn his fifth win (5-1) and fifth quality start. Gray was excellent, firing 59 of 90 pitches in for strikes (13 whiffs) and reaching double-digit strikeouts for the first time in 2025. It's a nice rebound for him after he allowed eight hits and seven earned runs against the Phillies the last time he toed the rubber. He's now sandwiched one dreadful start in between two six-plus inning scoreless ones, making it difficult to know precisely which version of him we'll get from one appearance to the next. He'll bring a 4.02 ERA, 1.13 WHIP, and a 61:13 K:BB ratio (56 innings) into his next outing -- a home date with the Arizona Diamondbacks later this week.

St. Louis Cardinals starting pitcher Sonny Gray was at his best on Wednesday, hurling seven sparkling frames in a 5-0 win over the Pittsburgh Pirates. Gray didn't allow a run in this one, and limited the Pirates to just two hits and a walk while punching out eight. Although the 35-year-old veteran has had a few bumps in the road, it has mostly been a solid season for him. Gray now owns a 4-1 record with a 3.50 ERA, 1.08 WHIP, and 47 strikeouts over 46 IP. The righty should remain a mainstay in fantasy lineups as long as he is healthy, but the occasional rough start should be expected. His next matchup is scheduled for next Tuesday in Philadelphia, and he should be started regardless of the tough opponent.

St. Louis Cardinals starting pitcher Sonny Gray dominated the Houston Astros on Monday, hurling seven shutout frames in an 8-3 victory. Gray allowed just three hits and a walk while punching out four, earning his third win of the season in the process. Gray moves to 3-0 with a 3.13 ERA, 0.78 WHIP, and 23 strikeouts in 23 IP after this one. When the righty is on his game, he can be one of the better pitchers in the league, and he is proving that again early in the season. Gray is absolutely a must-start option in fantasy right now, but could be considered a sell-high given his inconsistencies and injury history.

St. Louis Cardinals right-hander Sonny Gray (illness) is making the Opening Day start on Thursday against the visiting Minnesota Twins at Busch Stadium. Gray dealt with flu-like symptoms at the end of spring training that sapped him of his strength, so there was some concern that the Cardinals might push his first start of the season back. That won't be the case, although fantasy managers should be very hesitant to throw him into their starting lineups right away after he showed diminished velocity and was hit around in Grapefruit League action. The 35-year-old veteran allowed 20 earned runs on 23 hits (eight homers allowed) while walking six and striking out 17 in 14 1/3 innings over his four starts. At least in DFS lineups, the safe play would be to avoid Gray as he works to get his strength back following a bout with the flu recently.

The St. Louis Post-Dispatch's Derrick Goold reports that St. Louis Cardinals right-hander Sonny Gray (illness) has been dealing with a flu-like illness that has sapped him of his strength and left him not feeling great. However, Gray said he felt better on Monday. A report surfaced recently that the 35-year-old veteran's velocity has been down this spring, which could be explained by his illness. Either way, it's something to watch with Gray after he got a late start on his offseason throwing program. Gray is scheduled to start on Opening Day this Thursday against the visiting Minnesota Twins, but even if he's cleared to toe the rubber to open the year, fantasy managers may want to consider benching him if he's not quite at full strength. In 14 1/3 innings over four Grapefruit League starts, Gray allowed a whopping 20 earned runs on 23 hits (eight homers) while walking six and fanning 17.

St. Louis Cardinals right-hander Sonny Gray (forearm) admitted that he received a pain-killing injection in the flexor tendon of his right forearm late last season -- he ended the year on the injured list -- and the injury delayed his offseason program. Gray said the injury hasn't been an issue during spring training, but the delay in his throwing program could explain his diminished velocity in Grapefruit League games. The 35-year-old veteran has really struggled in spring games, allowing 18 earned runs on 21 hits (seven homers) while walking six and striking out 14 in 11 1/3 innings over four starts. Gray's velocity was down nearly two mph in his Grapefruit League start against the Houston Astros, which should be a cause for concern for the Cards and fantasy managers alike. If his velocity doesn't rebound, it's unlikely he'll have a strikeout rate north of 30% like he had in 2024. It's something to keep a close eye on.
