Colorado Rockies pitcher Jon Gray will be the team's Opening Day starter, manager Bud Black said.
An MRI came back clean after Gray was forced to leave last Friday's Cactus League start due to discomfort in a toe on his left foot. He struck out seven over six minor league innings Wednesday, so all seems well. The 25-year-old right-hander turned in a 4.61 ERA in 20 starts (168 innings) last season.
Gray is expected to go 10-10 across 169 2/3 innings this season while recording a 4.14 ERA, 1.37 WHIP and 24.7 strikeout percentage, based on numberFire's projections.
