ARLINGTON, Texas — Texas Rangers<\/a> right-hander Jon Gray<\/a> was activated from the injured list Wednesday after being out since getting struck by a line drive that fractured his right forearm<\/a> during a spring training game in mid-March.<\/p>\n

Gray could start or pitch out of the bullpen for the Rangers. The 33-year-old Gray is in the final season of a $56 million, four-year deal<\/a> signed in 2021, and is 21-21 while starting 72 of his 76 games since then.<\/p>\n

Reliever Luke Jackson<\/a> was designated for assignment to make room on both the 26-man active roster and the 40-man roster before the Rangers played the finale of a three-game series against the Athletics.<\/p>\n

Gray was 5-6 with a 4.47 ERA in an injury-marred 2024, when he spent time on the injured list because of a strained groin<\/a> before his season was cut short by a bothersome right foot issue.<\/p>\n

Colorado took him with the third overall pick in the 2013 amateur draft and he spent his first seven big league seasons with the Rockies. He was struck by a 106.4 mph comebacker off the bat of Rockies slugger Michael Toglia<\/a> in a spring training game on March 14.<\/p>\n

The Rangers signed Gray in the same offseason that they added World Series MVP shortstop Corey Seager<\/a> on a $325 million, 10-year contract, and second baseman Marcus Semien<\/a> got a $175 million, seven-year deal.<\/p>\n

Jackson was 2-5 with nine saves and a 4.11 ERA in 39 appearances this season.
