Gray set to start Monday vs. O's

BALTIMORE -- A's right-hander Sonny Gray, recently sidelined with back spasms, will make his next start on Monday in Baltimore.

Before Gray was scratched from Thursday's start in Toronto, Oakland's ace and American League ERA leader (2.06) was on track to match up against the Dodgers' Clayton Kershaw in Oakland on Tuesday. Now, the A's are expected to counter with lefty Felix Doubront.

Right-hander Jesse Chavez will tentatively be on the mound Wednesday to close out the two-game Interleague set.

"We want to get Sonny out there as soon as we can," A's manager Bob Melvin said.
