Jon Gray, the Rockies’ top prospect, could be called up soon from Triple-A Albuquerque.

Gray said Wednesday that he has not been told anything by the organization yet, but his strong performance and the failure of the Rockies’ starting rotation makes his promotion increasingly likely.

A hint came Wednesday afternoon before the Rockies were scheduled to host the Angels. Manager Walt Weiss was asked if he had any thoughts on Gray getting called up.

With a wry smile, Weiss said, “Umm, yeah, well see. But my focus is here on the day to day. I get the reports and I hear from the people around him. And the reports are good. He’s getting better and better.

“He’s had a good month. A good month or more. He’s starting to make some noise.”

Gray, the third overall pick in the 2013 draft, pitched six innings in Triple-A Albuquerque’s 3-0 win over Las Vegas in the opener of a doubleheader Tuesday. The right-hander allowed three hits, walked two and struck out eight in six innings. He threw 99 pitches, 63 for strikes.

Overall, Gray is 4-5 with a 4.58 ERA in 17 appearances for Albuquerque. He has struck out 84 and walked 33 in 96 innings. He scuffled in April but has since improved with almost every start.

A possible time for Gray’s major-league debut could be at San Diego on July 17-19, after the all-star break. Petco Park is a pitcher friendly ballpark and making his debut on the road could reduce the pressure on Gray.

Weiss said that Gray, after working through some mechanical issues, has found a groove.

“He’s shown the ability to dominate, and we feel like he’s that type of guy,” Weiss said. “There were some mechanical things that he got ironed out — his fastball command and the action on his slider. He’s looking good.”

Weiss said the team’s record and the environment with the current team will not be a major factor in its decision to promote Gray.
