Boston Red Sox star pitcher Sonny Gray exited Monday’s game against the Detroit Tigers with a hamstring injury, Gabrielle Starr of the Boston Herald reports. His official injury is being listed as right hamstring tightness, according to Starr. Gray exited the contest after surrendering three runs across 2.2 innings of work on the mound.
The Red Sox will continue to monitor and provide updates on Gray’s injury status as they are made available.
Gray was traded from the St. Louis Cardinals to the Red Sox this past offseason. However, Gray’s Red Sox career has not gone according to plan so far. The 36-year-old entered Monday’s game with a 4.43 ERA across four outings. He struggled once again before exiting the contest against the Tigers.
In 2025 with the Cardinals, Gray was able to make 32 starts and pitch in 180.2 innings, but he recorded an underwhelming 4.28 ERA. Boston is hopeful that his injury does not prove to be serious, and that he can bounce back once he returns from the injury.
Injured hamstrings can be difficult to predict a timeline for, however. They are often rather unpredictable injuries. The hope of course is that Gray will not have to miss too much time.
As for the Red Sox, Boston entered Monday’s matchup with an 8-13 overall record this year. They are in last place in the American League East after having high expectations heading into the season. There is still plenty of time to turn things around, but Gray’s injury concern obviously will not help matters.
