2023 Fantasy Outlook
Gray completed his first full season in the majors with 28 starts and had a 5.02 ERA, 1.36 WHIP and 154:66 K:BB across 148.2 innings. His strikeout and walk rates (23.7 and 10.2 percent, respectively) remained relatively unchanged from his first taste of the big leagues in 2021, and he also had the same HR/FB rate (18.6 percent). The subpar Washington defense didn't help his numbers, which is illustrated by his 4.57 xFIP. Now entering his age-25 campaign, the Nationals are likely banking on Gray taking a significant step forward in 2023, and he should be locked into a rotation spot as long as he stays healthy. His fantasy outlook is a bit less certain, but the potential and workload will be there in spades. Read Past Outlooks

No more starts this season
Gray will not make another start this season, Mark Zuckerman of MASNSports.com reports.
ANALYSIS
He would have been on turn to take the ball Tuesday or Wednesday, but Cory Abbott, Paolo Espino and Erick Fedde will be the starters for the road series against the Mets. Gray doesn't turn 25 until December, but this was undoubtedly a rough first full season in the majors. The 6-foot-1 righty posted a 5.02 ERA, 1.36 WHIP and 154 strikeouts across 148.2 innings while going 7-10 in 28 starts.

Past Fantasy Outlooks
2022
2021
2020
Gray reached the majors as a 23-year-old in 2021 and showed why he was a key piece in the Trea Turner deal. Gray has two excellent breaking balls that each generated whiffs 45% of the time or more and the league hit below .200 against both offerings. Those two pitches helped him strike out 25% or more of the hitters he faced at every stop throughout the minor leagues. It was not until he reached the majors that hitters became more disciplined and forced him to throw fastballs when down in the count and made him pay for it with 12 homers, a .282 average and .620 slugging percentage. All in all, he allowed 19 homers in 70.2 innings last season while struggling with his command, which marked the first time he had any such struggles to that extent. More consistent fastball command could allow him to take a big step forward in 2022 as a guaranteed member of the Nationals' rotation.
