St. Louis Cardinals ace Sonny Gray could miss an Opening Day start because of a mild right hamstring strain sustained in his latest spring training outing.
Gray had been slated to start at the Los Angeles Dodgers on March 28.
The Cardinals initially said Gray had tightness in his hamstring, and an MRI revealed the strain.
Gray has a history of hamstring injuries, twice missing time during the 2022 season with Minnesota.
John Mozeliak said the Cardinals have not discussed who would replace Gray against the Dodgers on Opening Day. Miles Mikolas appears to be the most likely candidate after starting on Opening Day last year.
If Gray starts the season on the injured list, Matthew Liberatore and Zach Thompson are in line to take his spot in the rotation.
