The Cincinnati Reds announced this morning that starting pitcher Sonny Gray has right elbow stiffness and has been scratched from his start in the spring training opener on Saturday against the Cleveland Indians.
Gray: “It’s nothing I’m overly worried about. I’ll start throwing in the next couple of days. It’s just something that there’s no reason to push it right now.” #reds

On the bright side, it doesn’t sound serious. It has to be at least slightly concerning for the Reds, though, who signed Sonny Gray to a 3-year extension after trading for him earlier this winter.
