Mason Black or Sonny Gray Player Notes
	Sonny Gray SP - BOS	Mason Black SP,RP - KC
News
	Gray's next start comes at Yankee Stadium — his first appearance there since a December interview in which he spoke about how much he dislikes the Yankees. He carries a 3.06 ERA into that matchup after Saturday's outing against Cleveland. Bruno Mulé Sun, May 31st	The Royals recalled Mason Black from Triple-A Omaha. Ari Koslow Wed, May 27th
	Sonny Gray allowed three earned runs on six hits and two walks while striking out four over four innings in Sunday's 6-5 loss to the Twins. Chris Schommer Mon, May 25th	The Royals optioned Mason Black to Triple-A Omaha. Ari Koslow Tue, May 5th
	Sonny Gray allowed one earned run on five hits and one walk while striking out nine over six innings in Monday’s 3-1 win over the Royals. Chris Schommer Tue, May 19th	The Royals have recalled right-hander Mason Black from Triple-A Omaha. Brenton Kemp Sun, Apr 19th
	Sonny Gray allowed one earned run on two hits while also walking one and striking out six through six innings in Wednesday's 3-1 win over the Phillies. Chris Schommer Thu, May 14th	Righthander Mason Black has been optioned to Triple-A Omaha by the Kansas City Royals. David Leisering Tue, Mar 17th
	Sonny Gray allowed four hits and two walks while striking out two over five scoreless innings in Wednesday's 4-0 win over the Tigers. Chris Schommer Thu, May 7th
Notes
	Sonny Gray was one of the only bright spots in the Cardinals' 2025 season. He started 32 games, threw 180 2/3 innings, and struck out 201 batters. His ERA was inflated at 4.28 with an expected of 3.90, but his FIP (3.39) suggests both of these numbers are high, and his xFIP is even lower at 3.06. Gray turns 36 this year, and projections have him profiled as more of an SP3 or SP4. Still, the move to Boston should give him more win equity, and he is worth consideration in the middle rounds.
