Veteran right-hander Sonny Gray is making his first start for the St. Louis Cardinals after recovering from a hamstring strain. Gray, who signed a three-year contract, will be limited to 65 pitches in his return. The Cardinals had considered a six-man rotation due to a busy schedule but may now move Zack Thompson to the bullpen or Triple-A. Gray's addition is part of a larger rotation overhaul that includes Lance Lynn and Kyle Gibson.
