After starter Jon Gray was hit by a line drive in the third inning, preliminary x-rays showed a fracture of the right wrist, manager Bruce Bochy said after the Rangers’ 5-0 win over Colorado. The Rangers will have Gray further examined, but it appears certain he will open the season on the IL and be there for a prolonged period of time.

Gray left in the fourth inning on Friday after being struck by a 106.4 mph comebacker off the bat of Rockies slugger Michael Toglia.

Texas Rangers starting pitcher Jon Gray suffered a fractured right wrist on a comebacker in his start yesterday, and will miss significant time, the team announced after yesterday’s game. This is a further blow to a starting rotation that was already going to be without Cody Bradford to start the year.
