Takes Major Step Forward with Live Batting Practice Session

Sonny Gray reached a significant milestone in his recovery from a hamstring injury by throwing a live batting practice session on Friday. Chris Cotillo of MassLive.com reports that the veteran right-hander faced hitters as he works toward a return to the Red Sox rotation. This progression suggests that Gray is nearing the end of his rehabilitation process. The team will monitor how his hamstring responds to the increased intensity before scheduling his next mound appearance or a rehab assignment.
