Ryan Pepiot Has No Injury Designation After Leaving Thursday's Start Early

Tampa Bay Rays starting pitcher Ryan Pepiot (undisclosed) left his start early on Thursday but does not have an injury designation, according to Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times. The right-hander logged only two innings of work against the Guardians before departing. Pepiot ran into some trouble, as he served up four hits, two walks, and two earned runs while only striking out one. However, since Aug. 16, Pepiot has carried a strong 2.81 ERA and a 1.36 WHIP. Fantasy managers should pay close attention to any updates regarding the 27-year-old, as he may be on another strict pitch count in his next start. In his first season in Tampa Bay, the former Dodger sits with a 3.66 ERA and a 1.14 WHIP through 113 innings of work.

Ryan Pepiot Tosses Quality Start In Win

Tampa Bay Rays starting pitcher Ryan Pepiot picked up his seventh win of the season on his birthday in Wednesday's 4-2 win over the Athletics, going six innings, allowing two earned runs on three hits, a walk, and a hit batsman, while striking out five. It was the seventh consecutive start in which the 27-year-old held the opponent to two runs or fewer, posting a 2.02 ERA, 1.01 WHIP, and a 14:32 BB:K over 35 2/3 IP during that stretch. For the season, the righty owns a 3.65 ERA (3.79 FIP), 1.05 WHIP, and a 17.9% K-BB%. He gets a favorable matchup his next time out when he faces Seattle, the team that strikes out the most in the majors.

Ryan Pepiot To Come Off Injured List To Start On Friday

Tampa Bay Rays right-hander Ryan Pepiot (knee) is in line to be activated from the 15-day injured list and start on Friday against the visiting Arizona Diamondbacks at Tropicana Field. It's been a longer than expected road to recovery for Pepiot after dealing with a right-knee infection that was believed to have been caused by a spider bite. The 26-year-old has been out for the last month, so he'll be a much more shaky fantasy option in his return on Friday against a streaking Diamondbacks squad. In his lone minor-league rehab start for Double-A Montgomery, Pepiot went 3 1/3 innings and was able to get up to 69 pitches, so he's unlikely to go that deep in his first start back. The former third-rounder by the Los Angeles Dodgers in 2019 out of Butler will return to a 6-5 record, 3.92 ERA, a 1.08 WHIP and 94 strikeouts in 87 1/3 innings over his 17 starts.

Ryan Pepiot Strikes Out Seven In Rehab Start

Tampa Bay Rays right-hander Ryan Pepiot (knee), who is 6-5 with a 3.92 ERA in 17 starts for the Rays this year, gave up one hit and two walks while striking out seven over 3 1/3 scoreless innings in a 69-pitch minor-league rehab start for Double-A Montgomery on Saturday, which was his first game action since July 14. Manager Kevin Cash said the Rays were "encouraged" with what they heard about Pepiot's outing. He returned to Tropicana Field on Sunday and played catch before the game. The Rays will soon determine his next step, which will likely be a return to the big-league rotation. The 26-year-old went on the injured list due to a knee infection that emerged at the end of the All-Star break and required a stay in a hospital to receive antibiotics and IV fluids. At its worst, Pepiot said his knee swelled to the size of a softball. If he's available on your league's waiver wire, pick him up.

Ryan Pepiot To Make Rehab Start Saturday

Tampa Bay Rays starting pitcher Ryan Pepiot (knee) will make a minor-league rehab start for Double-A Montgomery on Saturday. The Rays are sending him to Double-A rather than Triple-A Durham to avoid inclement weather. Pepiot is slated to throw somewhere between 65 and 75 pitches in his rehab outing, manager Kevin Cash said before Friday's game against the division-rival Baltimore Orioles. There was initially some hope that the 26-year-old right-hander, who holds a promising 3.92 ERA ,1.07 WHIP, and 94:31 K:BB in 17 starts for the Rays this season, would be able to come off the injured list without needing any rehab action as he made his way through his throwing progression from a right knee infection, but Pepiot now won't be back until the middle of next week at the earliest. Given that it hasn't been a particularly lengthy absence, he shouldn't require more than an appearance or two in the minors before rejoining Tampa Bay's rotation.

Ryan Pepiot To Throw Another Bullpen Friday

Tampa Bay Rays starting pitcher Ryan Pepiot (knee) threw another bullpen session on Tuesday but expectedly still felt some stiffness in his knee between simulated innings. Pepiot is scheduled to throw another bullpen on Friday at Minute Maid Park ahead of the series opener against the hosting Houston Astros, and Tampa Bay will determine his next step based on how he responds to that. The 26-year-old former third-round pick went 6-5 with a 3.92 ERA (3.85 FIP) and 1.07 WHIP with 94 strikeouts and 31 walks in 17 starts (87 1/3 innings) for the Rays before going on the injured list due to a knee infection that emerged at the end of the All-Star break, and he figures to be able to return sometime in early August without heading out on an abbreviated minor-league rehab assignment. Upon his activation from the IL, Pepiot should take Tyler Alexander's rotation spot.

Ryan Pepiot To Throw Another Bullpen On Tuesday

Tampa Bay Rays right-hander Ryan Pepiot (knee) threw a bullpen session on Saturday and will throw a more intense bullpen on Tuesday, which will either be followed by a simulated game or a minor-league rehab assignment. Pepiot, who is 6-5 with a 3.92 ERA in 17 starts for the Rays this year, will miss at least the minimum 15 days on the IL due to a knee infection that he thinks originated from a spider bite. He required a stay in a hospital in New York to receive antibiotics and IV fluids. At its worst, Pepiot said his knee swelled up to the size of a softball. The swelling in his right knee has decreased considerably, allowing him to throw on July 24, 25 and 26. The 26-year-old might not be returning to Tampa's rotation for a bit longer, but he deserves to be stashed in an IL spot in the majority of fantasy leagues until he's ready.

Ryan Pepiot Gives Update On Knee Infection

Tampa Bay Rays right-hander Ryan Pepiot (knee) provided an update on his knee infection on Saturday, telling the media the issue stemmed from a bug bite, likely a spider, causing his knee to swell up "like the size of a softball" while he spent 60 hours in the hospital as a result. Acquired in the trade that sent star righty Tyler Glasnow to the Los Angeles Dodgers in the offseason, Pepiot is scheduled to throw 20-25 pitches off the bullpen mound on Saturday, which could determine when he comes off the 15-day injured list. It's unclear if he will require a start with Triple-A Durham or join the big club when first eligible to come off the IL. The 26-year-old has been solid in his first season in Tampa, working to a 3.92 ERA and a 26.7% K% across 17 starts and 87 1/3 innings of work, providing solid value to fantasy managers who took him later in drafts this spring.

Ryan Pepiot Hopes To Throw Off A Mound Soon

Tampa Bay Rays starting pitcher Ryan Pepiot (knee) hopes to throw off a mound either before Saturday's game against the visiting Cincinnati Reds or early next week. Manager Kevin Cash said Pepiot was "doing much better" and moving around well after being discharged from the hospital on Monday due to a right knee infection and flying home to St. Petersburg. With there being optimism that Pepiot will resume throwing in the next couple of days, there's a good chance he'll be able to avoid a minor-league rehab assignment and return to Tampa Bay and be activated from the 15-day injured list sometime in early August. The 26-year-old right-hander has gone 6-5 with a promising 3.92 ERA and 1.08 WHIP with 94 strikeouts and 31 walks in 17 starts (87 1/3 innings) for the Rays, and he should remain stashed in all fantasy leagues.

Rays Hoping Ryan Pepiot Will Only Miss 15 Days

The Tampa Bay Rays are hoping that right-hander Ryan Pepiot (knee) will miss only the minimum 15 days on the injured list. Pepiot was scheduled to start against the Toronto Blue Jays on Tuesday but was put on the IL on Sunday morning with a right-knee infection. Manager Kevin Cash said Pepiot felt some soreness in his knee at the end of the All-Star break late last week, which escalated to pain and swelling. It's unclear how the injury came about. Pepiot was sent to the hospital early Saturday morning and is receiving antibiotics and IVs. He will return to St. Petersburg when he's discharged from the hospital. Cash said Pepiot was "totally fine and doing well" but will likely need "some time" for the inflammation to subside. The 26-year-old has a 3.92 ERA in 17 starts in 2024 and deserves to be stashed in at least deep-mixed fantasy leagues. UPDATE: Pepiot is expected to be released from the hospital on Monday and fly back to St. Petersburg on Tuesday to continue treatment.
