He threw 98 pitches, striking out three without issuing a walk. This performance not only secured his second win of the season but also lowered his ERA to an impressive 2.20. With a solid 9.6 K/9 rate and a WHIP of 1.19, Gray continues to be a reliable option for fantasy managers.

Jon Gray allowed one earned run on three hits and three walks while striking out seven over six innings Tuesday night.

Despite the strong performance, Gray's season continues to be a mixed bag for fantasy managers. His ERA sits at a respectable 2.95, but a WHIP of 1.53, fueled by a high walk rate, remains a concern. The high strikeout rate (10.3 K/9) is a silver lining, suggesting he can dominate batters, but his control issues may limit his appeal.

Jon Gray's solid outing was wasted in a 1-0 loss to the Athletics on Thursday where he gave up one run in five innings with nine strikeouts.

Gray, who now holds a 4.38 ERA and a concerning 1.78 WHIP over his first three starts of the season, dazzled with nine strikeouts over five innings, demonstrating his ability to miss bats at an impressive rate. The loss drops him to 0-1 on the season, but the strikeout numbers and team context are silver linings. Fantasy managers should be encouraged by the strikeouts and hope for better run support in future outings, but the high WHIP and FIP of 4.77 are red flags that can't be ignored. Gray is 28% rostered according to FantasyPros and is probably best as a streamer throughout the season.

Despite a rocky start to the season, Jon Gray managed to escape major damage in Saturday's matchup against the Astros, tossing 3 2/3 innings of scoreless ball while allowing five hits and three walks.

His ability to keep Houston from crossing the plate was a silver lining on an otherwise abbreviated start, throwing 84 pitches and finishing with three strikeouts in the no-decision. The 32-year-old hurler will need to regain his command, walking at least three batters while also failing to reach the fourth inning in both of his starts to this point, especially with manager Bruce Bochy needing to rely on the right-hander as part of a Texas rotation missing Max Scherzer, Jacob deGrom, and Michael Lorenzen to begin the season.
