Yep. Gray is fine. This is just IL for the convenience of bringing up an extra arm during Gray's downtime since his last start and his next start will be over a week apart even if he didn't go on the IL.
This is the order I would have for the rotation coming out of the break.
Castillo - normal 4 days rest
Mahle - coming off of 8 days rest
Gray - coming off of 10 days rest
Miley - coming off of 9 days rest
Gutierrez - coming off of 9 days rest
Josh Hader has two losses on the year . . . yesterday and today. I'm not too pissed at Hader for hitting Suarez. I was expecting something after Suarez just stood there and watched the HR yesterday and the chest thumping after hitting home plate. He didn't drill him, I think he just went high and tight to send a message and Suarez moved into the pitch as he was prepping to swing. If he was really trying to hit him, he would have gone for the body. No harm, no foul. He wound up scoring the winning run, anyway.
I hate these 4 days every year. Great for the two All-Stars but boring for 4 days of no Reds baseball.
