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

San Francisco Giants starting pitcher Robbie Ray went six innings, allowing two earned runs on five hits and three walks while striking out seven in Friday's 3-2 victory over the Tigers, but did not factor into the decision. The outing was his first quality start since coming off the IL, although he's been effective in three of the four games he's pitched so far, posting a 3.98 ERA, 1.18 WHIP, and a 22.6% K-BB%. The southpaw will face a reeling Braves team who has lost six straight in his next start on Thursday next week.

San Francisco Giants starting pitcher Robbie Ray pitched effectively against the Reds Sunday, picking up the win after allowing two runs on three hits and a walk with nine strikeouts in five innings. He did allow two solo homers but those were about the only blemishes on the day for the southpaw who was making his third start of the season. He now sports a 4.40 ERA and 1.12 WHIP this season and has recorded 21 strikeouts in 14 1/3 innings. It's an encouraging start for Ray as he continues to get his footing this season.

In his first major-league outing since undergoing Tommy John surgery in May 2023, San Francisco Giants left-hander Robbie Ray held the Los Angeles Dodgers hitless across five innings. Ray settled in beautifully after allowing one earned run on a bases-loaded walk in what was a shaky first inning. The 32-year-old rebounded to blank the Dodgers over his next four innings, finishing the night with eight strikeouts on 86 pitches in his debut with the Giants. Ray's velocity topped out at 95.2 mph, and he finished with 22 swinging strikes. His performance against L.A. should erase any doubt as to his fantasy potential for the remainder of the season, and he should be rostered in all leagues.

Updating a previous report, San Francisco Giants left-hander Robbie Ray (elbow) will come off the 60-day injured list to make his team debut on Wednesday on the road against the division-rival Los Angeles Dodgers. It will be Ray's first major-league start since having Tommy John surgery in March of 2023, which will obviously make him extremely risky from a fantasy perspective, especially against one of the best teams in baseball on the road. The 32-year-old former American League Cy Young winner looked good in his final minor-league rehab start for Triple-A Sacramento last Friday and pitched into the sixth inning, though, and he should be picked up off the waiver wire in mixed fantasy leagues if he's still available for his strikeout upside. Ray had a league-high 248 K's in 2021 when he won the AL Cy Young and has had 200-plus punchouts in five of his 10 MLB seasons.

San Francisco Giants left-hander Robbie Ray (elbow) allowed one hit over 5 1/3 scoreless innings in what will likely be his final minor-league rehab start for Triple-A Sacramento on Friday. Ray walked two, struck out seven and threw 78 pitches. The 32-year-old veteran southpaw is on track to make his Giants debut during the team's four-game series at Dodger Stadium this week. The 2021 American League Cy Young winner is coming off Tommy John surgery and hasn't pitched in the majors since March 31 of 2023, so fantasy managers should certainly temper their expectations. "He's probably not going to go out there and throw 120 pitches his first time out, but he got up a sixth time on Friday. One hit, some strikeouts and the velo was there. He threw all his pitches and felt good. That's what we're looking for," manager Bob Melvin said. Ray is worth rostering for his strikeout upside, although we'd recommend avoiding him in his 2024 debut against LA.
