Josiah Gray Could Earn Opening Day Start
Washington Nationals right-handed pitcher Josiah Gray could get the starting nod on Opening Day, according to Jessica Camerato of MLB.com. Gray was sidelined for nearly the entire 2025 campaign after undergoing Tommy John surgery in 2024. He returned to the bump late in 2025 in the minor leagues. Across a brief 5 2/3-inning stint, Gray did not allow a run and helda 5:5 K:BB. During his last full season in Washington (2023), Gray logged 159 innings to the tune of a 3.91 ERA with a 1.46 WHIP. He struck out 143 hitters while allowing walks at a 11.5% rate. With MacKenzie Gore now in Texas, Gore figures to compete for the lead role in the rotation alongside Jake Irvin and Cade Cavalli. Given his inconsistent command, Gray is best left for deeper 15+ team formats as a streaming option.
