Sonny Gray Heading to the Injured List With Hamstring Injury
The plan is for the Boston Red Sox to place right-hander Sonny Gray (hamstring) on the 15-day injured list, according to 7 News' Ari Alexander. The Red Sox are expected to call up left-hander Tyler Samaniego from Triple-A Worcester in a corresponding move. Samaniego will give the team some extra bullpen depth before Gray's next turn in the starting rotation comes up. Left-hander Payton Tolle could be the guy that the BoSox choose to have replace Gray in the starting rotation, and fantasy managers in need of pitching depth might want to pick Tolle up now off the waiver wire. Tolle is currently rostered in just 10% of Yahoo leagues, so he's widely available. Gray, 36, suffered a right-hamstring injury in his abbreviated outing on Monday against the Detroit Tigers at Fenway Park and will now miss at least a few turns in the rotation. With a potential short stay on the IL, Gray should be retained in most fantasy baseball leagues while he heals up.
