SONNY GRAY NEWS

Making season debut Tuesday Cardinals manager Oliver Marmol said Gray (hamstring) will be activated from the 15-day injured list to start Tuesday against the Phillies, John Denton of MLB.com reports.

Impact The organization originally planned for Gray to make a minor-league rehab start before joining St. Louis' rotation, but the veteran right-hander apparently made a strong argument to instead make his season debut. Gray threw 54 pitches in a simulated game Wednesday and is expected to be limited to about 65 pitches versus Philadelphia.

Impact Gray will pitch two innings in a minor-league game Friday and the Cards could have a better idea as to a potential timetable for the right-hander after that. While his hamstring injury will prevent him from being ready Opening Day, Gray could avoid a stint on the injured list and make a start within the first week.
