Sonny Gray's Hamstring Injury: Red Sox Bullpen Steps Up

0:00On April 20, Sonny Gray had to exit the Red Sox Patriots Day matchup against the Detroit Tigers early, pulling up with right hamstring tightness. Right in the third inning, Boston still pulled out an 8-6 win, leaning hard on their bull pin to close it down. It happened right after Gray walked a batter. He bent down, stretched his leg, and the training staff rushed out. Pitching coach, catcher, manager Alex Korra, and a trainer all checked him, but after a couple warm-up tosses, he knew he couldn't keep going. Korra told reporters they're getting an MRI on Tuesday, but don't expect anything major. Gray himself said it felt like a familiar grab in his hamstring, something he's managed since issues popped up in 2022, and again this year. Lefty Danny Coulomb jumped into replace him, and the socks burned through seven relievers total. Korra called it a perfect team day where everyone stepped up big. Gray's sitting at two wins in one loss, with a 4.43 ERA this season.

1:00He came over in a trade from St. Louis back in November. Fingers crossed that hamstring bounces back quick, so the rotation stays deep. Baseball news, powered by AI, this is MLB News today. I'm Corey with the story.
