Rangers' Pitching Depth Tested After Injuries to Jon Gray and Cody Bradford

Jon Gray suffers fractured wrist, while Cody Bradford is sidelined with elbow soreness, leaving Texas to evaluate rotation options ahead of Opening Day.

  • Jon Gray fractured his right wrist after being struck by a 106.4 mph line drive during a spring training game against the Rockies and will not throw for at least six weeks.
  • Cody Bradford has been shut down for at least four weeks due to elbow soreness, though his MRI revealed no structural damage.
  • The injuries leave the Rangers down two rotation arms as they approach the start of the regular season, forcing the team to explore internal and external options for replacements.
  • Non-roster invitees Patrick Murphy and Adrian Houser, who have performed well in spring training, are being considered for rotation or long-relief roles.
  • The Rangers remain confident in their pitching depth, including prospects Kumar Rocker and Jack Leiter, but are also open to exploring the free-agent market if necessary.
