The Texas Rangers on Wednesday activated right-hander Jon Gray, who will be looking to make his season debut after sustaining a fractured right wrist in spring training.

In a corresponding move, the Rangers designated right-handed reliever Luke Jackson for assignment.

Gray, 33, went on the 60-day injured list after being hit by a comebacker off the bat of Colorado’s Michael Toglia during a Cactus League game on March 14 in Surprise, Ariz.

He made three starts on rehabilitation assignments with Texas minor league affiliates, going a combined 8 2/3 innings with a 3.12 ERA. He started for Triple-A Round Rock on Saturday and yielded one earned run with two walks five strikeouts in 61 pitches over 3 2/3 innings.

Gray has made trips to the injured list in each of his three seasons with the Rangers. He was limited to just 102 2/3 innings in 2024 because of two groin strains and a foot neuroma that required offseason surgery. Gray posted a 5-6 record with a 4.47 ERA in 23 appearances (19 starts) last season.

Gray, in the final season of a four-year, $56 million contract, is 74-70 with a 4.45 ERA in 228 career games (223 starts) with the Colorado Rockies (2015-21) and Rangers.

Jackson, 33, went 2-5 with nine saves, a 4.11 ERA, 19 walks and 24 strikeouts in 35 innings over 39 relief appearances for Texas this season.

He has a career 24-16 record with 28 saves and 4.23 ERA in 377 games (all in relief) with Texas (2015-16, 2025), Atlanta (2017-21, 2024), and San Francisco (2023-24).
