Josiah Gray Cleared To Begin Rehab Assignment
6 months agoWashington Nationals right-hander Josiah Gray (forearm), who has spent nearly two months on the 15-day injured list with a flexor strain in his forearm, has been cleared to start a minor-league rehab assignment. Manager Dave Martinez suggested Gray will likely pitch on Sunday at Single-A Fredericksburg. Gray's last simulated game on Tuesday featured 65 pitches over three innings, and the plan now is for Gray to throw four innings this weekend in the first of what should be several rehab starts before he's activated to rejoin the big-league rotation. The Nationals have taken their time with the 26-year-old, not wanting to bring him back too soon after he allowed 13 earned runs on 15 hits (two homers) in his first two starts before going on the IL. "His mechanics are a little bit cleaner. He's using his legs a little bit more," Martinez said.
