How long does somebody have to be in the majors before they can't option them? If that would apply to Gray next year, maybe they're just trying to make a last-ditch tuneup. Or it's a contract thing, he's arbitration eligible next year but I don't entirely know what that means. My guess is they're trying to straighten him out before they have to make a decision. You don't want to lose a talent like that but you don't want to overpay if he doesn't get better.

I don't know what their plan is to replace him since they called up a position player. I guess they'll probably bring somebody else up in a couple days.
