Josiah Gray Throws Live Batting Practice on Tuesday
Josiah Gray (elbow) threw 30 pitches over two "innings" during live batting practice on Tuesday in West Palm Beach, Fla., according to Mark Zuckerman of MASN. Gray has yet to pitch all year after having Tommy John with an internal brace in July of last year. While the 27-year-old is ramping up, he's probably going to need a minor-league rehab assignment before being a realistic candidate to come off the 60-day injured list. There is no guarantee that Gray will be able to make a cameo for Washington in the big leagues before the end of September, and even if he does, the Nationals will likely be very careful with his pitch count. Gray was lit up for 13 earned runs in just 8 1/3 innings in his two starts last year before going under the knife, but he did have an ERA under 4.00 with 143 K's in 30 starts for the Nats as a first-time All-Star in 2023.
