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.

For most of Spring Training, the Rangers pitching staff had avoided any significant injuries. The last week has more than made up for it.

The Texas Rangers’ pitching staff took a major hit on Friday, as starter Jon Gray sustained a right wrist fracture during a Cactus League matchup against the Colorado Rockies. The injury occurred when Gray was struck by a 106.
