Sonny Gray Placed On Injured List, Tony Santillan Recalled
3 years agoCincinnati Reds starting pitcher Sonny Gray (rib) was placed on the injured list on Thursday due to a rib cage strain. Gray previously spent time on the injured list due to a right groin strain. He was activated on July 2 and made two starts, but is now once again sidelined for the Reds. The veteran has been solid for both Cincinnati and fantasy managers this season with a 3.19 ERA, 80 strikeouts and 23 walks in 12 starts spanning 62 innings. He'll be replaced in the Reds rotation by Tony Santillan. Santillan, one of the organization's most promising pitching prospects, has made four starts for the club this year. In those four starts, he pitched to a 3.78 ERA in 16 2/3 innings while striking out 20 and walking 10. If you're in need of extra rotation options, Santillan might be worth a look. He has a history of missing bats, and there's potential for him to pick up some wins pitching for a team that has a lineup ranked in the top 10 in runs scored, wRC+, on-base percentage and ISO.
