Tristan

Gray

The 28-year-old Gray is a solid defensive third baseman with power, but his inability to hit for average has kept him from getting much of a chance. He has 36 major league plate appearances for three teams, the last 24 of them coming after the A’s picked him up on waivers from the Marlins in mid-August. He went 3-for-21 with 13 strikeouts during his time with Oakland.

Gray was only up with the Athletics for 10 days after being claimed off waivers from the Marlins. The 28-year-old heads back to the minors with Ryan Noda recalled in the corresponding transaction.

Gray, claimed off waivers from the Marlins last week, will likely get some playing time at third base at Max Schuemann’s expense. The 28-year-old has hit .249/.322/.472 with 18 homers in 103 games in Triple-A this year.

Gray was designated for assignment Monday and finds a new home Tuesday. The 28-year-old was optioned to Triple-A, but has a good chance to join Oakland after rosters expand — or before if there’s some sort of injury — in September.

Gray was cast off the 40-man roster Monday to make room for a couple of new additions to the active group. The 28-year-old will now hit the waiver wire, and a team with 40-man room may have interested in acquiring him as infield depth for the rest of the year and potentially the 2025 campaign.

With Otto López back from the Paternity List, the Marlins shipped Gray back to the minors. The 28-year-old is 0-for-7 at the MLB level this year and should remain off the fantasy radar.

López missed the weekend series but will be back to his normal role as the starting second baseman. The 25-year-old has been a nice surprise for the Marlins, hitting .295 with three home runs, 18 RBI, and four steals in 103 MLB plate appearances. That makes him worthy of a roster spot in deeper fantasy formats. Tristan Gray was sent to the minors in a corresponding move.

The Marlins need some infield depth with Tim Anderson on the bereavement list and Otto Lopez on the paternity list. Gray was hitting .216 with 12 home runs in 45 games at Triple-A. He’s on the bench to start Friday’s game against the Guardians.

Gray is booted off the roster to make room for Tim Anderson. Gray could be back with the Marlins at some point this summer, but it’s unlikely he’ll be anything more than a reserve whenever that takes place.

Anderson was placed on the injured list May 13 with lower back tightness, so the shortstop will end up missing a little over a week. He’ll take over starting shortstop duties, and Tristan Gray will be optioned back to Triple-A in the corresponding move per Azout.
