4 years agoCincinnati Reds starting pitcher Sonny Gray (back) will be shut down as he deals with a back issue. Gray won't throw for three-to-four days- and this will likely set him back a week. The 31-year-old said that he keeps getting spasms in his back, which are the likely culprit for his start getting scratched last Tuesday. Gray is a popular fantasy pick after pitching to a 3.07 ERA with 10.8 strikeouts per nine innings in two seasons in Cincinnati- and the setback shouldn't make managers shy away from selecting him. He is not in danger of missing his opening start as of right now. --Tim Capurso
