The Nationals have placed right-hander Josiah Gray on the 60-day injured list due to a right flexor strain.
Fantasy Impact
The club optioned Gray to Triple-A to work through the strain, but opted to place him on the 60-day IL and select the contract of left-hander Cionel Perez. Gray has missed most of the last two seasons due to Tommy John surgery and has another ominous arm injury hanging over him to begin the 2026 campaign.
Gray spent all of 2025 recovering from Tommy John surgery and was expected to break camp in Washington's rotation. He allowed just one run with a 5:1 K:BB across 4.2 innings in two Grapefruit League starts, but the Nationals opted to manage his workload carefully in the early going.
Fantasy Impact
Gray was optioned to Triple-A Rochester Wednesday, with a callup to the big-league rotation expected later in the season.
Josiah Gray hopes to be ready for the start of the season.
Fantasy Impact
Gray has not pitched in the majors since April 2024, as he underwent Tommy John surgery, but he was able to begin a rehab assignment late last season. Washington Nationals president of baseball operations Paul Toboni said he expects Gray to be built up like any other starting pitcher competing for a job on the team. Gray made the All-Star team in 2023, the only season he posted a sub-4.00 ERA, finishing with a 3.91 ERA and 1.45 WHIP across 159 innings.
The Nationals and RHP Josiah Gray avoided arbitration by agreeing to a one-year, $1.35 million contract.
Fantasy Impact
Gray missed all of last season recovering from Tommy John surgery. He should be a full-go heading into spring training.
Josiah Gray has returned to the Washington Nationals' spring training complex in Florida, where he will begin his offseason program.
Fantasy Impact
Gray is starting his offseason program after the Nationals decided he wasn't ready to return to the rotation. He had made three rehab starts following July 2024 Tommy John surgery, throwing 5.2 scoreless innings. He has a strong chance to open the 2026 season in the Nationals' rotation.
