The Texas Rangers have placed Jon Gray on the 10 day injured list due to a blister, the team announced today. To replace Gray on the active roster, the Rangers have recalled pitcher Spencer Patton, who was on the taxi squad (and thus traveled to Toronto with the team).
Gray was great for the first three innings of yesterday’s game against Toronto before struggling in the fourth, when he was, we discovered, dealing with a blister that tore. Gray was examined after the inning and removed from the game. Gray said after the game he didn’t expect to miss his next start, although that has now changed.
