The Minnesota Twins are moving right-hander Sonny Gray's (hamstring) next start to Thursday against the New York Yankees. His bullpen session will also be pushed back a day to Tuesday, but he'll get on the field on Monday to see how he's feeling. Gray left his last outing early on Friday against the Chicago White Sox due to right hamstring tightness, but it's not a serious injury and won't cause him to go on the injured list. It won't be an ideal matchup on Thursday against the Yankees, but the 32-year-old has very good for fantasy managers this year with a 7-4 record, 3.10 ERA (3.42 FIP), a 1.13 WHIP, 101 strikeouts and 33 walks in 104 2/3 innings over 21 starts in his first year in Minnesota.

Minnesota Twins starting pitcher Sonny Gray (hamstring) left his start early on Friday against the Chicago White Sox with right hamstring tightness.

Stay tuned for more updates on the 32-year-old right-hander either after the game or Saturday morning.

The right-hander allowed six runs on nine hits and a walk while striking out three over 3 2/3 IP in what marked his shortest outing since April 16. Gray promptly allowed a pair of runs to score in the first frame, but the big blow came in the fourth when Luis Robert tagged him for a grand slam.

Minnesota Twins starting pitcher Sonny Gray was sharp in his return from the injured list Wednesday, holding the Seattle Mariners to just three hits and no runs in five innings of work. Gray struck out three and did not walk a batter. He took a no-decision in the contest, but fantasy managers have to be encouraged that Gray seemingly did not miss a bit after considerable time on the injured list with a pectoral injury.

Minnesota Twins starting pitcher Sonny Gray (pectoral) will come off the injured list and start on Wednesday against the Seattle Mariners. Gray went on the injured list on June 2 with a right pectoral strain and didn't go on a minor league rehab assignment, so he could be a bit limited in his first start back. The 32-year-old threw a 30-pitch simulated game last Friday. Gray has been outstanding this year for fantasy managers, going 3-1 with a 2.41 ERA, 0.98 WHIP, 39 strikeouts and 10 walks in 33 2/3 innings over his seven starts so far in 2022. The Twins rotation is getting both Gray and Joe Ryan, who was on the COVID injured list, back this week.

Minnesota Twins starting pitcher Sonny Gray (pectoral) is expected to throw an extended bullpen session on Friday. Gray has been out since late May with a right pectoral strain, but he's slowly working his way back. Depending on how his bullpen session goes on Friday, Gray will likely start facing hitters next week and could go on a minor league rehab assignment before he returns to Minnesota's starting rotation. The 32-year-old right-hander needs to be rostered in all fantasy leagues, as he was sporting an excellent 2.41 ERA and 0.98 WHIP with 39 strikeouts and only 10 walks in 33 2/3 innings over his seven starts before landing on the injured list.

Right-handed pitcher Yennier Cano was recalled to take Gray's spot on the roster. Gray has started seven games this season, recording a 2.41 ERA and 0.98 WHIP with 39 strikeouts in 33 2/3 innings. He's worth holding on fantasy rosters if it's at all possible.

Minnesota Twins pitcher Sonny Gray (pectoral) has improved and played catch on Wednesday, but his status for his next start is in question. According to Twins manager Rocco Baldelli, there is a chance Gray avoids the injured list. "May end up even having to make a decision that we don't really want to make in order to function better as a team," said Baldelli. The 32-year-old exited last Sunday's start with right pectoral soreness. If Gray can significantly improve during the week, the Twins right-hander could avoid the injured list. He owns a 3-1 record, 2.41 ERA, 0.98 WHIP, and 39 strikeouts across 33 2/3 innings. Fantasy managers should continue to monitor the situation and expect Gray back this weekend at the earliest.

In his first two starts in Minnesota, the right-hander has allowed four earned runs and five hits while walking three and striking out five through 6 1/3 frames. Hopefully, fantasy managers won't be without him for too long.

The Minnesota Twins have acquired starting pitcher Sonny Gray in a trade with the Cincinnati Reds. Gray and minor league pitcher Francis Peguero are heading to Minnesota in exchange for pitcher Chase Petty, who was a first round pick of the Twins in 2021. Gray will bring a much-needed veteran presence to a young Twins rotation. Last year, the 32-year-old started 26 games for the Reds and went 7-9 with a 4.19 ERA and a 1.22 WHIP. His advance stats suggest he had some bad luck last year as he had an 84th percentile xERA (3.25). He was exceptional at limiting hard contact in 2021 with a 32.1% hard-hit rate (91st percentile) and a 4.7% barrel rate (92nd percentile). He'll be near the top of the Twins rotation and he may even have a shot at being the team's Opening Day starter.
