SEATTLE -- Sonny Gray is being tabbed for a spot-start against the Twins on Tuesday, as manager Aaron Boone looks to offer additional rest to Luis Severino and Masahiro Tanaka for the drive toward the postseason.
Gray has filled a variety of roles since being removed from the rotation in early August. He fired 6 1/3 scoreless innings against the Orioles on Aug. 25 in Baltimore in his last spot-start, and he pitched four scoreless innings of relief against the Tigers on Sept. 2 in his most recent outing.
"I feel like I've been throwing the ball well," Gray said.
