Peyton Gray Making His Case
With Gavin Collyer now with the Rangers, the Triple-A reliever with the best case for a call-up that has yet to play in the Majors is undoubtedly Peyton Gray. The next time Texas experiences an injury in the bullpen, Gray must be the go-to for Texas.
Gray was brilliant in spring training, and he’s carried that over into the early part of the Triple-A season with Round Rock. He’s pitched in seven game and has no ERA. He is 1-0 with two saves in two chances. He’s struck out 15 and walked two in 12.2 innings. He has a 0.79 WHIP and batters are hitting .186 against him.
Yes, MLB hitters are better than Triple-A hitters. But the 30-year-old who has been bouncing around professional baseball since 2018 has fashioned himself into a high-leverage reliever in waiting. With a nine-game homestand coming up, don’t be surprised if the Rangers turn to him at some point, which will require a 40-man roster move.
