Prior to yesterday’s game, the Texas Rangers placed pitcher Jon Gray on the injured list. To take his place on the active roster, the Rangers have recalled pitcher Gerson Garabito.
As we discussed yesterday, Gray has a neuroma on his foot, and that condition is going to end his season. Per Evan Grant, the issue has dogged him throughout the season after cropping up last year, and may require surgery to repair. It sounds like this may be something he’d pitch through if the Rangers were in the race, but the concerns about it potentially impacting his delivery and leading to an arm injury are such that they are erring on the side of caution.
