Red Sox Place Sonny Gray on IL, Call Up Samaniego

0:00On April 21st, the Boston Red Sox put right-hander Sonny Gray on the 15-day injured list with a right-hamstring strain. They brought up lefty Tyler Seminego from AAA Worcester to fill the roster spot right away. This went down after Gray lasted just two and two-thirds innings against the Detroit Tigers on Monday. He gave up one run on three hits before the leg tightened up on him. Gray opened up after the game, saying he's battled this issue before in 2022 and 2024. At 36 years old, he's 2-in-1 this season with a 4.30 ERA over five starts, sitting at a solid 127-in-1. 03 lifetime with a 3.59 mark across 14 years and 6 teams. Meanwhile, Seminego is no stranger to pressure at 27. He debuted back on April 8th versus the Milwaukee Brewers, tossing three and two-thirds hitless, scoreless innings in three big league games. So far, the Sox now lean on Seminego to hold it down while Gray minns that hamstring, hoping for a quick bounce back in the rotation.
