The Texas Rangers, as expected, placed pitcher Jon Gray on the injured list today with a knee sprain. To take his place on the active roster, the Rangers have recalled pitcher Glenn Otto, who will be making the start for Texas tonight.
The Rangers had indicated yesterday that Gray would be i.l. bound for what the team hopes will be a short stint that will cost him one start, due to a slight strain of his MCL. Otto was announced previously as today’s starter, so the question was whether Gray to the i.l. and Otto being brought up would be the only move, or if Dennis Santana would be activated from the COVID list today, which would necessitate an additional move.
