Josiah Gray Placed On 60-Day Injured List
3 days agoAccording to Andrew Golden of the Washington Post, Nationals right-handed pitcher Josiah Gray (elbow) was placed on the 60-day injured list. This transaction opened a roster spot for shortstop Paul DeJong, who the team signed to a one-year contract earlier on Sunday. Gray underwent Tommy John surgery and an internal brace procedure during July and is not expected to return until late in the 2025 campaign. Gray began his throwing program in January but is still several months away from embarking on a potential rehab assignment. Before his injury, Gray was only able to log eight 1/3 innings with Washington last season. During the 2023 campaign, the 27-year-old held a 3.91 ERA and a 1.46 WHIP across 159 innings of work. Fantasy managers should expect Gray to contend for a rotation spot in the second half of the season but should not be targeted in any drafts, given his lengthy recovery process.
