Boston Red Sox Get Disappointing News on Injured Starter
Boston Red Sox starter Sonny Gray exited the Red Sox' 8-6 win over the Detroit Tigers on May with right hamstring tightness. Now, it appears that heâs headed to the injured list.
Gray cruised through his first two innings of work, allowing just one base runner before running into trouble in the third, allowing one run. After walking Detroit second baseman Gleyber Torres on four pitches, he was seen awkwardly trying to stretch out the hamstring, causing Red Sox manager Alex Cora, pitching coach Andrew Bailey, and head trainer Brandon Henry to come out to the mound. After just one warmup toss, the contingent determined Gray couldnât continue, leaving the Boston bullpen to cover the remaining 5.1 innings.
After the game, Cora announced that Gray would undergo an MRI, but the team didnât think it was serious. Gray, however, went into more depth on the injury, "I felt a grab in my right hamstring, something that I had felt before, in the moment I kinda knew what it was...I threw a warmup pitch and same feeling, not a grab, but a tightness after that...that was it," he said.
Gray also shared with the media that this was something "2022,2024, I've dealt with it for a while, just managed it," he said. "It just happens every now and then," he continued.
As for how this compares to the previous times the injury has come up: "It doesn't feel as bad as it has other times where I have missed time, I will say that, and that's a good thing...in this moment it doesn't feel like it's a horrible thing, but it is just something that is gonna take however long it takes to get right, I don't know what that is right now."
