Nationals Option Josiah Gray to Triple-A
The Washington Nationals announced on Thursday that they optioned right-hander Josiah Gray to Triple-A Rochester. The Nationals are going to give Gray a little more time to ease himself back in after he spent all of 2025 rehabbing from Tommy John surgery. The 28-year-old was a first-time All-Star in 2023 for the Nats, but he made just two starts in 2024 before being shut down with right-elbow trouble. He has allowed only one earned run while walking one and striking out five in 4 2/3 innings over two Grapefruit League starts this spring, but the Nationals will be able to control his workload a bit better with him at Rochester to begin the season. Gray should be in Washington's starting rotation at some point in 2026, but fantasy managers in deep-mixed leagues can take a wait-and-see approach. In his four years in the majors, Gray has a 4.84 ERA (5.50 FIP), 1.42 WHIP, and 382:184 K:BB in 386 2/3 innings over 74 outings (73 starts).
