"Gray's initial option to Triple-A was to allow him to continue stretching out as a starting pitcher. He made two appearances in Grapefruit League action, tossing 4.2 innings to solid results with a 21.1 K-BB%."
"A flexor strain is a tear in the forearm muscles nearest the inner elbow that aid with gripping and throwing overhanded, and it's not uncommon for it to pop up during the rehab process from UCL repair surgery."
"The severity of the strain is unclear at this stage, and we'll likely get more updates in the coming days; the fact that the team jumped straight to placing him on the 60-day IL is a negative sign, though."
Josiah Gray has been optioned to Triple-A but is now on the 60-day injured list with a right flexor strain. This injury follows his recovery from Tommy John surgery and complicates his return to the major leagues. Gray had shown promise in Grapefruit League action but now faces uncertainty regarding the severity of his injury. His placement on the injured list removes him from the 40-man roster, allowing the Nationals to select Cionel Pérez to fill the vacancy.
