Gray (abdomen) has been confirmed as the Rockies' starter for Friday's game against the Dodgers, Patrick Saunders of the Denver Post reports.
An abdominal strain landed Gray on the disabled list to start the season, but he has ramped up his activity of late and recently finished up a rehab assignment at High-A Modesto. He'll make his season debut Friday at home against an explosive Dodgers' lineup. In his lone start against the Dodgers last season, Gray allowed two earned runs over just 4.2 innings of work, but he was able to strike out eight batters in that short outing.
