Cardinals ace Sonny Gray sustained a “mild strain” of his hamstring in his most recent outing of spring training. President of baseball operations John Mozeliak said Tuesday the injury could keep him from starting on opening day. The three-time All-Star left his start Monday against the Nationals after 20 pitches. Mozeliak said the Cardinals have not discussed who would replace Gray against the Dodgers on opening day on March 28. Miles Mikolas appears to be the most likely candidate after starting on opening day last year. If Gray starts the season on the injured list, Matthew Liberatore and Zach Thompson are in line to take his spot in the starting rotation.
