Solid in Nats debut Gray didn't factor into the decision in Monday's 7-5 loss to the Phillies, allowing one run on four hits and two walks over five innings. He struck out two.

Impact Making his Washington debut, Gray blanked Philadelphia for four frames before Odubel Herrera launched a solo shot off him in the fifth, and he tossed 47 of 71 pitches for strikes before exiting. The right-hander hadn't lasted longer than four innings in either of his appearances for the Dodgers prior to heading east at the trade deadline, so the reduced workload is likely just temporary, but keeping the ball in the park has been a challenge for him in the majors so far -- Gray has served up five homers in only 13 innings.

In his debut, Josiah Gray gives Nationals a taste of what his scouting report promised: 'He's the future for us' “It was good for him and good for our fans to see him come out here and do what he did,” manager Dave Martinez said.

Debuting Monday for Washington Gray was activated to the Nationals' 26-man roster Sunday and will start Monday against the Phillies, Mark Zuckerman of MASNSports.com reports.

Impact Gray made his first MLB start July 25 for the Dodgers before being traded to the Nationals on Friday, and he'll debut for his new team Monday. The 23-year-old was one of Los Angeles' top prospects and allowed six runs on seven hits with a 13:5 K:BB in eight innings across his first two appearances in the majors.

Impact Gray was widely considered the top prospect in the Dodgers' system and recently made his major-league debut. He should slot right into the Nationals rotation, which is now missing both Scherzer and Stephen Strasburg (neck). Prior to getting the call to the majors, Gray posted a 2.87 ERA and 0.66 WHIP across 15.2 frames with Triple-A Oklahoma City.

Impact Making his first start for the Dodgers after previously excelling as a primary pitcher out of the bullpen July 20 in his big-league debut, Gray didn't meet expectations for those who streamed him with the hope he would scoop up an easy win against a Rockies offense that typically struggles on the road. While the punchout total was nice and was backed by 19 swings and misses, Gray struggled to consistently find the zone, tossing just 47 of his 79 pitches for strikes. Elias Diaz also took Gray deep to left field in the second inning, a discouraging development after the right-hander served up three long balls in his prior outing. Gray should get at least one more expended appearance with the big club next weekend in Arizona, but manager Dave Roberts hasn't disclosed whether the rookie will be deployed as a primary pitcher or a traditional starter.

Fans seven in big-league debut Gray hurled four innings against the Giants on Tuesday, allowing four runs on four hits and one walk while striking out seven. He did not factor in the decision.

Impact The right-hander entered the game for his major-league debut in the third inning following opener Darien Nunez. Gray put up an uneven first impression, allowing three long balls but notching 15 swinging strikes and seven punchouts in just four frames. His stuff certainly lived up to the hype as the Dodgers' top pitching prospect, though he'll need to do a better job of keeping the ball in the park to find prolonged success. Gray has a chance to stick with the big club given the current thinness of the Dodgers' rotation, though it remains to be seen if he'll continue following an opener or move into a traditional starting role. His next appearance could come Sunday at home against Colorado.

Contract selected, following opener Gray had his contract selected by the Dodgers and will follow opener Darien Nunez versus the Giants on Tuesday, Eric Stephen of SBNation.com reports.

Impact Gray will make his major-league debut after posting a 2.87 ERA, 0.66 WHIP and 22:2 K:BB over 15.2 innings (four outings) at Triple-A Oklahoma City this season. The 23-year-old completed five frames in only one of his minor-league appearances, but he'll have a better chance of qualifying for a victory since he's following an opener.
