Rangers' Jon Gray: Sheds cast

Gray (wrist) the hard cast removed from his right arm Tuesday, Shawn McFarland of The Dallas Morning News reports.

Gray suffered a fractured wrist during spring training after being struck by a 106-mph line drive, but he seems to be recovering well. The 33-year-old righty expects to start up a throwing program within the next several weeks, at which point a return timeline may begin to emerge.
