Gray (elbow) is listed as the Reds' expected starter for Saturday's spring game against the Padres, Mark Sheldon of MLB.com reports.
Gray threw a successful live batting practice session Tuesday and the Reds apparently saw enough to list him as the probable starter for Saturday. Assuming Thursday's scheduled side session goes smoothly, the 29-year-old will make his return to game action from the right elbow stiffness that's sidelined him for nearly two weeks.
