Robbie Ray's Stats, Metrics, Game Logs, Projections & Rankings

San Francisco Giants starting pitcher Robbie Ray did not exercise his player option with the San Francisco Giants and will remain with the team. Ray has two years and $50 million remaining on his contract, keeping him a Giant through 2026. The lefty will look to bounce back in 2025 after two injury-riddled seasons have held back the former Cy Young winner. In his first year with the Giants Ray posted a 4.70 ERA in seven starts. His first start didn't come until after the All-Star break as he was working his way back from Tommy John surgery. Ray's last start was shortened due to a hamstring injury. The lefty is in a spot where he needs to get himself back to normal form before he can expect another big payday. Fantasy managers may want to temper expectations for the lefty going forward given his recent injury issues as he may be well beyond his prime at this point in his career.

San Francisco Giants left-hander Robbie Ray (hamstring) had his live batting practice session on Sept. 11 cut short after 42 pitches due to fatigue, but he's been playing catch and threw another bullpen session on Saturday. Ray said he still hopes to make at least one start for the Giants before the end of the regular season. The 32-year-old southpaw suffered a left-hamstring strain while facing the Seattle Mariners on Aug. 25 and was placed on the 15-day injured list on Aug. 27. Ray also missed the entire first half of the season while recovery from Tommy John surgery. He has fanned 43 in his 30 2/3 innings of work over his seven starts this year with the Giants, but he's also allowed 16 earned runs on 20 hits (six home runs surrendered). If Ray does make it back to San Fran's rotation to make one more start in 2024, he'll likely be a poor streaming option with a likely short leash.

San Francisco Giants starting pitcher Robbie Ray (hamstring) is set to throw another simulated game on Saturday afternoon, according to MLB.com. The southpaw logged his first simulated game (two innings) last week and will now look to stretch out further on Saturday by tossing three frames. Ray hit the 15-day IL with a hamstring strain on August 27. If the 32-year-old progresses well, he may only require one rehab assignment before returning to the big leagues. Before the injury, Ray held a 4.70 ERA and a 1.14 WHIP across 30 2/3 innings of work this summer, as his 2024 campaign began much later due to undergoing Tommy John surgery last year. Ray could be worth stashing in deeper leagues as he should be able to log a handful of starts during the final weeks of the season and possess a high strikeout upside.

The San Francisco Giants placed pitcher Robbie Ray (hamstring) on the 15-day injured list on Tuesday with a left-hamstring strain. Ray is 3-2 with a 4.70 ERA and 1.14 WHIP in seven starts with the Giants, striking out 43 and walking 15 over 30 2/3 innings. He had left his previous start against the Seattle Mariners on Monday with tightness in his hamstring. Fantasy managers will scramble to replace Ray's 12.6 K/9 while he is sidelined. The Giants called up Landen Roupp, who had a 4.70 ERA and 1.48 WHIP in 15 appearances with the big club earlier in the season.

San Francisco Giants starting pitcher Robbie Ray was dominant in Tuesday's victory versus the Chicago White Sox. The veteran tossed a season-high 6 2/3 innings and allowed three hits, one run, no walks and struck out nine during the contest. It was his best start since returning from injury in late July. Since his return, Ray is 3-2 with a 4.88 ERA and 12.69 K/9 in his first six starts. Ray should continue to shake off the rust and Tuesday's outing was a sign of how good the left-hander can be at full strength, even against a poor White Sox lineup. If he is still available on the waiver wire, now would likely be the last chance to scoop up the veteran for the stretch run as he can help in a big way, especially in the strikeout department. Next up for Ray will be a matchup versus Milwaukee Brewers on Tuesday as part of a two-start week that also features a tasty matchup versus the Miami Marlins.
