Jon Gray leaves without pitch

Texas Rangers pitcher Jon Gray left his start against the Toronto Blue Jays without throwing a pitch due to a right groin strain, which could sideline him for up to a month. Gray experienced discomfort during warmups and was replaced by Jonathan Hernández, who struggled, allowing five runs in 2.1 innings, as the Rangers lost 7-3 and were swept in the series. This follows a previous injury that had placed Gray on the 15-day injured list earlier this season. The Rangers' pitching woes continued as Michael Lorenzen, who started the previous game, could only record two outs, requiring multiple relievers to cover innings. The team's offensive struggles are evident, as they have scored four or fewer runs in 12 of their last 14 games. With Gray's potential absence, the Rangers may need to make roster adjustments, possibly activating injured pitchers to fill the gap.
