Gray on track for Monday start barring setback

BALTIMORE -- A's ace Sonny Gray is on track to pitch Monday in Baltimore barring any further issues with back spasms that caused him to miss his Thursday start in Toronto.

Gray threw a 25-pitch bullpen at Camden Yards on Saturday afternoon, "and it wasn't much of an issue," the right-hander said of his back.

"It went as good as it could go," Gray said. "We'll come in tomorrow and see how everything is feeling and then go from there."

In a perfect world, A's manager Bob Melvin said, Gray would pitch Monday, followed by Felix Doubront and Jesse Chavez for a two-game home series against the Dodgers.
