Managing pectoral soreness Gray was diagnosed with right pectoral soreness after leaving Sunday's start against Kansas City, Phil Miller of the Minneapolis Star Tribune reports.

Impact The veteran right-hander fired six scoreless innings before suffering the injury during the seventh inning, and the one runner he left on base was allowed to score by the bullpen. Gray remains in line to pick up his third straight win, but his health is obviously the more pressing concern. The severity of the injury remains unclear, leaving Gray's availability in question going forward.

Leaves with apparent arm issue Gray was removed from Sunday's start against the Royals with an apparent arm injury, Dan Hayes of The Athletic reports.

Impact Gray limited Kansas City to one single through six scoreless frames but gave up a leadoff single during the seventh and exited during the middle of the following at-bat. The 32-year-old appeared to be stretching out his right arm/shoulder before leaving the field with the training staff. It's unclear whether he'll be available for his next turn through the rotation.

Blanks Tigers over seven Gray (2-1) earned the win Tuesday after he pitched seven scoreless, giving up four hits and a walk while striking out 10 versus the Tigers.

His season-long numbers now stand at a 2.60 ERA and 1.12 WHIP over six outings. The 32-year-old tentatively lines up to toe the rubber next Sunday versus the Royals.

Impact Gray allowed a run in each of the first and third innings, but he retired the last 10 batters he faced to turn in a solid performance.

Fans eight in no-decision Gray allowed two runs on four hits and four walks over 4.1 innings in Friday's win over the Guardians. He struck out eight and did not factor in the decision.

Impact Gray got through four innings with just one run allowed before Austin Hedges knocked a solo shot to lead off the fifth. The 32-year-old righty threw 82 pitches and forced just nine swinging strikes but still struck out a season-high eight batters. Gray has yet to finish five innings in any of his four starts this year. He'll carry a 3.68 ERA into his projected start in Oakland next week.

Throws four shutout innings Gray threw four shutout innings Sunday against the Athletics, striking out seven while walking two and allowing two hits. He did not factor into the decision.

Impact Gray was limited to 66 pitches, which wasn't too big of a surprise given that it was his first outing back from a hamstring injury, having previously made just one three-inning rehab start. He didn't pitch long enough to get a win, but it was a very encouraging outing nonetheless, as the only time an Athletic reached scoring position was when Elvis Andrus singled and stole second base in the top of the third. Gray may still be on a pitch count for his next outing, which could come Friday against the Guardians.

Starting Saturday vs. A's Gray (hamstring) is coming off the injured list to start Saturday's game against the A's, Do-Hyoung Park of MLB.com reports.

Impact Earlier this week, it seemed Gray would make a rehab start at Triple-A St. Paul on Friday, but that start will instead come for the big club in a favorable matchup. He made his only rehab start Sunday, and hasn't pitched in the majors since April 16. Assuming he is fully healthy, Gray should be able to improve on his season numbers against an Oakland offense that ranks 26th in the majors with an 82 wRC+ and second-worst in baseball with a 26.0 K%.

MAY 7, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Option to start Saturday Gray (hamstring) could be activated to start Saturday against the A's, Dan Hayes of The Athletic reports.

Impact He was originally going to make a rehab start for Triple-A St. Paul on Saturday, but now it's looking like he could make that start in the majors with Chris Paddack getting pushed to Sunday. Gray threw three scoreless innings with five strikeouts and no walks Sunday for Single-A Fort Myers.

Another rehab start on tap Gray (hamstring) will make a second minor-league rehab start with Triple-A St. Paul later this week, Britt Ghiroli of The Athletic reports.

Impact Gray threw three scoreless innings with five strikeouts and no walks Sunday in his first rehab start for Single-A Fort Myers. Given the strong showing with Fort Myers, Gray looked to be a candidate to potentially return from the 10-day injured list this week, but the Twins will instead give him additional time to stretch out in the minors. Gray's continued absence should pave the way for rookie Josh Winder to make a second turn through the rotation.

Sharp in rehab outing Gray (hamstring) threw three scoreless innings with five strikeouts and no walks Sunday in a rehab start for Single-A Fort Myers.

Impact Gray will likely return to the rotation Friday against Oakland, but there hasn't been an official announcement. The Twins will likely see how Gray is feeling Monday before making any decision.

MAY 2, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Rehab start on tap Gray (hamstring) is expected to make a rehab start with Single-A Fort Myers this weekend, Dan Hayes of The Athletic reports.

Impact Gray will throw a bullpen session in the next couple days prior to the start with Fort Myers, which could be the final hurdle in his rehab program before being activated from the injured list. If that's the case, the 32-year-old could rejoin Minnesota's starting rotation late next week.
