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.

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.
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.
