Jon Gray - Yields four runs Gray allowed four runs (three earned) on five hits and five walks over 5.1 innings in Friday's loss to Oakland. He struck out two and did not factor in the decision.
Impact Gray cruised through three shutout frames without much pushback from Oakland. He coughed up one run in the fourth inning followed by two more in the fifth, including a solo homer by Tony Kemp. Gray was charged with one more in the sixth after he was removed with 92 pitches. His K:BB now sits at a lackluster 15:11 with a 3.72 ERA across 19.1 innings. Gray is lined up to take the mound in Cincinnati next week.

Jacob deGrom - Throwing bullpen Friday DeGrom (wrist) is throwing a bullpen Friday with the intent to pitch against the Athletics on Sunday, Evan Grant of The Dallas Morning News reports.
Impact As Grant points out there's been nothing finalized, but it appears that deGrom will make his scheduled start against Oakland as long as everything goes well in the bullpen session. The right-hander was dominant over four innings against the Royals on Monday before leaving with right wrist soreness. Fantasy players will want to keep a close eye, but it does appear the ace will be on the bump against a very beatable Oakland lineup over the weekend.

Robbie Grossman - Moves up to two hole Grossman is in the designated hitter spot and batting second for the Rangers on Friday versus the Athletics.
Impact Grossman previously hasn't batted any higher than fifth. He's sporting just a .515 OPS on the season but does have a modest three-game hitting streak going.

Josh H. Smith - Out Friday against lefty Smith isn't starting Friday's game against Oakland.
Impact Smith is 0-for-12 at the plate in his last four games, putting him at risk of losing a good amount of playing time. Ezequiel Duran will start at shortstop in Smith's place Friday and bat seventh.

Zak Kent - Out with oblique strain Kent is on the 7-day injured list at Triple-A Round Rock with a strained oblique, Evan Grant of The Dallas Morning News reports.
Impact The 6-foot-3 righty struck out three in three scoreless innings during his first start of the year for the Express on April 4 but has not pitched since. Kent boasts an excellent fastball/slider combination, but he is still working on developing starter-caliber command and secondaries beyond his slider. He has six career starts at Triple-A under his belt and is on the 40-man roster, so we could see Kent pitching in the majors in some capacity later this season.
