Fantasy Impact
Gray continues to progress in baseball activities as he works his way back from a right flexor strain. It remains unclear what his timetable is.
The Nationals say Josiah Gray will undergo additional testing.
Fantasy Impact
Gray will be paused from throwing. He was sidelined to start the season due to a flexor strain.
Gray last appeared in a big-league game in April 2024 and missed most of the past two seasons following Tommy John surgery. A flexor strain at the end of spring training prevented him from joining the Opening Day rotation, and he is not eligible to come off the 60-day IL until late May.
Fantasy Impact
He has yet to resume a throwing program, working only on strengthening and stability, and the Nationals are proceeding cautiously enough that even the late May eligibility date may not reflect a realistic return timeline.
