Claimed by Pittsburgh The Pirates claimed Gray off waivers from the Athletics on Thursday.
Impact Gray appeared in 15 MLB games last season between the Marlins and A's, during which he went 3-for-28 with 16 strikeouts. He fared much better in Triple-A, where he slashed .248/.317/.462 across 470 plate appearances. He'll claim a spot on the 40-man roster as he joins the Pirates organization, though he'll most likely begin the season with Triple-A Indianapolis.

Optioned to Triple-A The Athletics optioned Gray to Triple-A Las Vegas on Tuesday.
Impact Gray had made six straight starts against right-handed pitching, but he was just 3-for-21 with 13 strikeouts in eight games with the Athletics. Ryan Noda will replace him on the roster.

Gaining foothold in lineup Gray will start at first base and bat seventh in Sunday's game against the Tigers.
Impact The lefty-hitting Gray has now picked up starts in five consecutive matchups with right-handed starters or primary pitchers and looks to have displaced Daz Cameron for a regular spot in the Oakland lineup. Since his Sept. 1 call-up from Triple-A Las Vegas, Gray has gone 3-for-17 with a double and three walks.
SEPTEMBER 8 • ROTOWIRE
Gets first hit of season Gray went 1-for-4 with a double in a loss to the Mariners on Wednesday.
Impact Gray recorded his first hit in an Athletics uniform when he laced one of three doubles in the lopsided loss for Oakland. The 28-year-old, who had just five career big-league plate appearances prior to this season, is capable of playing across the infield and has now drawn three straight starts.

Claimed by Oakland The Athletics claimed Gray off waivers from the Marlins on Tuesday.
Impact Gray, 28, has spent the bulk of the 2024 season at Triple-A Jacksonville, slashing .240/.312/.454 with 17 home runs over 410 plate appearances. The infielder will report to Triple-A Las Vegas.

Cast off 40-man roster The Marlins designated Gray for assignment Sunday.
Impact Gray lost his spot on the 40-man roster to right-hander Mike Baumann, whom the Marlins claimed off waivers from the Angels on Sunday. A 28-year-old infielder, Gray received brief cups of coffee with the Marlins in May and June but has otherwise spent the entire 2024 campaign at Triple-A Jacksonville, slashing .240/.312/.454 with 17 home runs over 410 plate appearances.

Cut from big-league camp The Marlins reassigned Gray to minor-league camp Monday.
Impact The 27-year-old Gray got the chance to make his big-league debut with the Rays in 2023, logging just five plate appearances for the club before he was outrighted off the 40-man roster following the season. Gray caught on with the Marlins on a minor-league deal after electing free agency, but he doesn't look to be in a much better position to see meaningful action in the majors in 2024. He'll serve as organizational depth at first base at Triple-A Jacksonville.
MARCH 18 • ROTOWIRE
Headed back to minors Gray was optioned to Triple-A Durham on Monday, Tricia Whitaker of Bally Sports Sun reports.
Impact Gray had two hits -- including his first home run -- in his major-league debut Sunday in Baltimore, but that won't prevent a return trip to Durham. He's no longer needed on the active roster with Taylor Walls back from paternity leave.
SEPTEMBER 18, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Homers in first start Gray went 2-for-4 with a solo home run in Sunday's loss to the Orioles.
Impact Making the start at shortstop following his call-up Saturday, Gray picked up his first big-league hit in the fifth inning before launching his first home run off Jorge Lopez in the eighth, putting Tampa Bay ahead 2-1. The 27-year-old Gray displayed some impressive power in Triple-A this year, hitting 28 homers in 127 games. His stint in the majors may be brief, however, as Taylor Walls (personal) is due to return from the paternity list Tuesday.
SEPTEMBER 17, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
First chance in majors Gray had his contract selected by the Rays on Saturday.
Impact Gray will get his first chance in the majors as Taylor Walls (personal) is away from the team for the next couple of games. Gray has hit 28 home runs with Triple-A Durham across 499 plate appearances in 2023, though he's 27 years old and also had a 32 percent strikeout rate, so it's unclear how his skills will translate to the majors.
