Robbie Ray News
San Francisco Giants starting pitcher Robbie Ray (elbow) is scheduled to throw his next bullpen session in Arizona on Wednesday. Although the 2021 American League Cy Young Award winner is still expected to be out until the second half of the 2024 season, it feels like he has a chance to make his Giants debut earlier than that based on his current progress. Ray is pleased with where he's at in his recovery from Tommy John surgery, and he also tossed a bullpen on Friday. In his last full season during 2022 with the Seattle Mariners, the 32-year-old strikeout machine fanned 212 hitters while walking 62 over 189 innings and amassed a 3.71 ERA and 1.19 WHIP through 32 starts. Fantasy managers off to a good start should start thinking about stashing Ray. With Alex Cobb (hip) also sidelined until at least May, Jordan Hicks and Keaton Winn should keep operating as starters for the Giants in the meantime.
San Francisco Giants starting pitcher Robbie Ray (elbow) threw a bullpen session in Arizona on Friday. Ray has been pleased with his progress in his recovery from Tommy John surgery, but he's still not likely to be a factor for the Giants until the second half of the 2024 season. After being acquired from the Seattle Mariners in exchange for outfielder Mitch Haniger and right-hander Anthony DeSclafani (forearm) this past offseason, the 32-year-old former American League Cy Young Award winner has enough strikeout upside alongside a pitcher-friendly ballpark to deserve being stashed for fantasy managers who can afford the roster spot. Former reliever Jordan Hicks has allowed just two earned runs and three walks over 18 innings as a starter in San Fran's rotation to this point, and he's worth rostering in all mixed leagues right now.
San Francisco Giants left-hander Robbie Ray (elbow) threw a 40-pitch bullpen session on Thursday and will throw another bullpen on Monday. Ray is recovering from Tommy John surgery that he had last May, so he's unlikely to be an option for the Giants' starting rotation until after the All-Star break in mid-July. Because of the fact that the 32-year-old also had a flexor-tendon repair in addition to Tommy John surgery, his rehab will likely extend a little longer. Given the depth of San Fran's rotation after they added reigning National League Cy Young winner Blake Snell, the Giants won't be in any rush to bring Ray back in the second half. Ray won an American League Cy Young in 2021 with the Blue Jays and went 12-12 with a 3.71 ERA and 1.19 WHIP with 62 walks and 212 K's in 32 starts in his last full season in 2022 with the Mariners.

Newly acquired San Francisco Giants starting pitcher Robbie Ray had just one outing in 2023 before being shut down for the year and undergoing Tommy John surgery. The former Cy Young winner is not expected back until mid-season 2024, leaving us to look back at 2022 to analyze his most recent production. The southpaw went 12-12, posting a respectable 3.71 ERA (4.17 FIP), 1.19 WHIP, 19.4% K-BB%, and 212 K in 189 IP. The strikeouts have always been good (career 28.9% K%), but there were some concerning stats too, such as the shoddy 8.0% BB%, and even that was below his career BB% of 10.0%. Then there was the dreadful 15.5% HR/FB%, which was spot on with his career rate. Stuff+, Location+, and Pitching+ all were 99 or below in 2022 as well. Unless managers have extra roster spots, Ray is not draftable but could be a spot starter in the second half for teams in need of Ks. Oracle Park is one of the more unfriendly HR parks too, so that should help with the 32-year-old's HR/FB% and in turn should help keep his ERA in check. ATC projections have him going 3-3 with a 3.99 ERA, 1.24 WHIP, and 18.6% K-BB% in nine games once he returns.
