MLB pitcher Sonny Gray was pulled from his second preseason start due to tightness in his right hamstring. After throwing 20 pitches against the Washington Nationals, Gray signaled to his catcher, Willson Contreras, that something was wrong. The team’s trainer, manager, and pitching coach quickly joined him on the mound before deciding to remove him from the game.
Gray, who recently signed a multi-million dollar deal with his team, was set to be the Opening Day starter. However, the extent of his injury is still unknown as he is scheduled to undergo an MRI. The team is hoping for the best but is prepared to make adjustments to their rotation if necessary.
In the past, Gray has dealt with hamstring issues, missing time in previous seasons due to strains. Despite a solid 2023 season, concerns about his hamstring health resurfaced after this recent incident. The team will wait for further evaluation before making any decisions regarding Gray’s status.
The next 24 hours will be crucial in determining the severity of Gray’s injury and the impact it may have on the team’s plans moving forward. Stay tuned for updates on Gray’s condition and how it may affect the St. Louis Cardinals as they prepare for the upcoming season.
