Gray (abdomen) is planning on pitching 70-75 pitches in a rehab start Friday, Patrick Saunders of the Denver Post reports.

Where the rehab start will be is currently unknown, but no matter where it ends up taking place, this is a very good sign for the right-hander. Gray said that he may make two rehab starts prior to joining the Rockies rotation, but he also added that he's feeling very good at the moment. This development keeps him on pace for a return in mid- to late-April.
