Peyton Gray activated, Adam Macko optioned

Texas Rangers reliever Peyton Gray has been activated from the 15 day injured list, the team announced today. To make room for him on the active roster, the Rangers have optioned pitcher Adam Macko to AAA Round Rock.

The 31 year old Gray was added to the Rangers major league roster in late April, and established himself as one of Skip Schumaker's more trusted late inning arms. In 48 appearances covering 55 innings, Gray put up a 3.93 ERA and 4.15 FIP. Those numbers are skewed somewhat by his last seven outings, when Gray allowed 8 runs over 7 innings, including 4 home runs in the two weeks before he went on the injured list with elbow soreness at the end of August.
