News 
  Texas Rangers pitcher Jon Gray is scheduled to return to the rotation Wednesday after being scratched from his last outing due to back stiffness.
Brenton Kemp
Tue, Mar 7th
  Rangers SP Jon Gray was unable to make his scheduled Spring Training start Friday, as he is reportedly dealing with back tightness, per the team's PR department.
Kendall Capps
Fri, Mar 3rd
Notes 
 Luis Garcia will make for a great SP4 on fantasy teams. He projects to pitch around 161 innings and should be right around a strikeout per inning. He gave up more home runs in 2022, but his underlying metrics suggest a straightforward, above-average SP4 for fantasy rotations.
Kelly Kirby - FantasyPros
If Jon Gray had stayed healthy in 2022, he would be going much higher in drafts this year. Instead, he had a start/stop season where he dealt with finger, knee, and oblique issues. Assuming he starts 20+ games this year, he will provide fantasy managers a strikeout-per-inning performance by coupling a 96-mph fastball with his punchout 85-mph slider. Take the discount and don't look back.
