On the day that Joey Votto returned to the lineup after missing just over a month after breaking his thumb when he was hit by a pitch by Dallas Keuchel the Reds potentially lost another big key to their team. While warming up for the 4th inning starting pitcher Sonny Gray seemed to feel something in his leg and after the training staff came out and had a short conversation, Gray exited the game.
Sonny Gray was pitching well up to that point. The right-handed pitcher had struck out five batters in 3.0 shutout innings and had allowed just two hits.
