Sonny Gray will start 2017 on the disabled list:
Oakland Athletics ace Sonny Gray will begin the season on the disabled list with a lat strain and has been shut down from throwing for the next three weeks.
A’s general manager David Forst said Thursday there’s no timetable for the right-hander beyond the preliminary stretch.
This is a big blow to the A’s and Gray, who was eager to start fresh following a forgettable 2016. He was scratched from his scheduled outing opening day last year because of food poisoning and never had the kind of season he envisioned as the leader of the rotation.
Gray saw his walk and home run rates rise dramatically in 2016. Lat injuries are tough, so it will be a while before we know if Gray fixed his 2016 issues.
