Tristan Gray Hits Homer In Major League Debut On Sunday
Tampa Bay Rays infielder Tristan Gray went 2-for-4 at the plate in his major league debut Sunday against the Orioles. Gray made the most of his opportunity as one of his hits was a solo shot off of Baltimore's right-handed reliever Jorge Lopez. Before being called up, the 27-year-old posted a slash line of .234/.309/.482 in 127 games this season in Triple-A Durham. Despite striking out 160 times with Durham, Gray did smash 28 homers.
Tampa Bay Rays infielder Tristan Gray has had his contract selected from Triple-A Durham and is slated to make his MLB debut this weekend. Infielder Taylor Walls was placed on the paternity list so Gray will take his place on the roster. The 27-year-old prospect has some swing and miss to his game with a .234/.309/.482 batting line and 160 strikeouts over 127 games with the Durham Bulls this season. He does have 28 home runs, however, and bopped 33 last season at the same level. He likely won't be up for long and he doesn't hold much fantasy value as a result of that.
