Josiah Gray went 13 days between his last two starts before Sunday’s outing, with time off for the All-Star Break, but it was not the first time the 24-year-old righty has been given an extended break between his starts this season.
Washington’s Nationals have tried to manage Gray’s innings in his first full season in their organization following last July 30th’s trade from the Los Angeles Dodgers, which sent a couple players (named Max Scherzer and Trea Turner) out to LA in return for four players, (Gray, catcher Keibert Ruiz, pitcher Gerardo Carrillo, and outfielder Donovan Casey).
