The Rangers placed pitcher Jon Gray on outright waivers Thursday, and the right-hander went unclaimed by any other club, according to a report by The Athletic’s Ken Rosenthal. Gray cleared waivers at 1 p.

The decision with Gray is similar to the approach the Rangers took last season when it placed outfielders Robbie Grossman and Travis Jankowski on waivers. Grossman was claimed by the Kansas City Royals and Jankowski went unclaimed and remained with the Rangers.

Rangers righty Jon Gray went unclaimed on waivers, reports Ken Rosenthal of The Athletic. Texas quietly placed Gray on waivers on Thursday. The 48-hour process came and went without another team putting in a claim, with that window closing this afternoon.
