Rangers Pitcher Jon Gray Fractures Wrist After Line Drive in Spring Training

The injury marks the third setback for the Texas Rangers' rotation this week, raising concerns ahead of the MLB season.

Jon Gray, a right-handed pitcher for the Texas Rangers, suffered a fractured right wrist after being struck by a 106.4 mph line drive during a spring training game against the Colorado Rockies.
The incident occurred in the fourth inning on Friday, forcing Gray to leave the game immediately; manager Bruce Bochy confirmed the fracture to reporters.
Gray's injury adds to a challenging week for the Rangers' pitching staff, with Cody Bradford sidelined due to elbow soreness and Tyler Mahle recently scratched from a start with forearm discomfort, though Mahle has since returned to minor league action.
Gray, who is in the final year of his four-year, $56 million contract, had an injury-plagued 2024 season, including groin strains and a foot issue that required surgery.
Rangers management is now evaluating options to adjust their pitching rotation as the team prepares for the upcoming MLB season.
