The Texas Rangers have placed pitcher Jon Gray on the 15 day injured list with a groin strain, the team announced today. To take his place on the active roster, the Rangers have purchased the contract of pitcher Jesus Tinoco from AAA Round Rock. To clear a spot on the 40 man roster for Tinoco, the Rangers have moved Cody Bradford from the 15 day injured list to the 60 day injured list.
Gray left his start on Tuesday early due to groin tightness, and an MRI revealed a Grade 1 strain, which is the least severe grade.
