ARLINGTON, Texas — Texas right-hander Jon Gray won in his return from a fractured right forearm, throwing two scoreless innings in relief in the Rangers’ 2-1 victory over the Athletics on Wednesday night.

Gray was activated from the injured list Wednesday after being sidelined since being hit by a line drive during a spring training game in March.
