2 years agoThe Washington Nationals are closely monitoring starting pitcher Josiah Gray's workload down the stretch. Gray threw 70 2/3 innings in his rookie season last year after debuting on July 20 with the Los Angeles Dodgers. He also tossed 15 2/3 frames in the minors in 2021. The 24-year-old right-hander entered his last start over the weekend ranked fourth in innings thrown by a second-year starter. His innings count stood at 123 1/3 after his start Saturday, an increase of nearly 40 total frames from last year. The Nats have considered the possibility of skipping Gray to address the increase in workload. Gray has gone 7-8 this year with a 4.67 ERA (5.65 FIP), 1.31 WHIP and 140 strikeouts in his 23 starts. Fantasy managers in deeper leagues should be prepared for him to be skipped a few times down the stretch.--Keith Hernandez - RotoBaller
