Levi Weaver: Scheduled starter Jon Gray is a late scratch... - The Athletic Scheduled starter Jon Gray is a late scratch with “back tightness,” per team PR. Taylor Hearn is now starting.
Scratched with back tightness Gray is dealing with back tightness and was scratched from his scheduled start Friday versus the Giants.
Impact Gray was set to make his second start of spring training, but he will now look to rest his back and be ready for his next opportunity. In his place, left-hander Taylor Hearn will take over on the mound and face San Francisco.

Jon Gray Talks First Spring Start Jon Gray, in his second year with the Texas Rangers, threw two scoreless innings in his first start vs. Cleveland.

Makes scoreless spring appearance Gray allowed one hit over two scoreless innings in Sunday's spring game against the Guardians.
Impact Gray was pleased with the results but told Shawn McFarland of the Dallas Morning News that he felt "out of whack" on the mound, which can be normal for starters in their first spring appearances. The right-hander served as Texas' ace in 2022, but the addition of Jacob deGrom, Nathan Eovaldi and Andrew Heaney pushes him further down the rotation. Like all pitchers, health is imperative for the 31-year-old Gray, who's thrown more than 150 innings twice and never more than 200, during his career. He had a 3.96 ERA and 134 strikeouts over 127.1 innings last season.

Impact The right-hander battled injuries in his first season with Texas and tossed only 127.1 innings, but Gray was effective when he was on the mound. Tuesday's quality start was his eighth of the year, and he'll head into the winter with a 3.96 ERA, 1.13 WHIP and 134:39 K:BB. Finally free of Coors Field, the 30-year-old flashed his upside this season, and he'll look to put together a healthier campaign in 2023.

Impact Gray did a good job keeping the bases clean Friday, with the Guardians' only run under his watch coming on a throwing error during a stolen base attempt. The Guardians would score five runs off Taylor Hearn immediately after Gray left the game, however, denying the veteran righty the chance to secure a win. Gray tentatively lines up to face the Mariners in Seattle and the Yankees at home to close the year.
