Sonny Gray to start for A’s on Wednesday at Anaheim
Manager Bob Melvin said Sunday morning that Gray will go one inning, possibly two, with Ross Detwiler coming in after him.
Gray has been out since early August with inflammation in his right elbow and forearm; he said Saturday that he doesn’t need to pitch again this season for peace of mind, but because it’s the next step in the rehab process and he’s ready for it.
Gray, a 2015 All-Star, is having the roughest season of his career, with a 5-11 record and a 5.74 ERA.
