Tristan Gray - MLB News, Rumors, & Updates

Lands with Southsiders as NRI The White Sox signed Gray to a minor-league contract Friday that includes an invitation to spring training.

Impact Gray, who turns 29 in March, has managed just a .495 OPS in his limited (17 games) action at the big-league level. He had a couple 30-homer seasons during his time with Triple-A Durham in the Rays organization and is going to a talent-deficient roster, giving Gray a shot to make the team.

Elects free agency Gray elected free agency Monday.

Impact Gray passed through waivers unclaimed after being removed from the Pirates' 40-man roster, and he's chosen to hit free agency rather than accept an outright assignment. The 28-year-old has gone 5-for-33 at the plate during his brief chances at the big-league level over the last two seasons.

Booted from 40-man roster Gray was designated for assignment by Pittsburgh on Monday, Alex Stumpf of MLB.com reports.

Impact Gray will vacate the 40-man roster to make room for Andrew McCutchen, who was officially added to the roster Monday after putting pen to paper on a one-year deal in December. Gray found little success at the big-league level in 2024 during stops with the Marlins and Athletics, going 3-for-28 with one double and three walks over 15 games.

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.

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.

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.

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, 2024 • 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.
