Rest-of-Season Projections
2025 Fantasy Outlook
The tightest pants in baseball made it back to the mound just under 15 months removed from his 2023 Tommy John surgery, but Ray lasted just seven starts until a hamstring injury in late August shelved him for the rest of the season. Even in those 30 innings, Ray once again showed the upside of rostering him, as well as the downside of rostering him. He struck out 43 batters in 30.2 innings but also walked 15 around 6 homers, which pushed his ERA to 4.70 despite a respectful 1.14 WHIP. Even with all the rust from the long layoff, Ray's stuff was as good, if not better, results-wise than in his Cy Young-winning season. His fastball and slider had near equivalent whiff rates to his 2021 outcomes, while the league hit .167 and .148 respectively off the fastball and slider last season. The third pitch he continues to pursue, a knuckle curve, is all over the place for results, and most of them have been poor to date. Ray may not be able to resume the 190-plus inning workload he was shouldering presurgery, but the risk/reward here is rather enticing as long as you understand homers will always be a problem for him. Read Past Outlooks

Stumbles late in win
Ray (1-0) earned the win against the Reds on Sunday, allowing three runs on three hits and one walk with four strikeouts over 5.1 innings.
ANALYSIS
Ray was flawless through five innings but surrendered a two-run homer in the sixth, one pitch after a pitch-clock violation, and couldn't finish the frame. Despite that, it was an encouraging outing, as the former Cy Young winner looked healthy and generated nine swinging strikes on 78 pitches. He's set for a favorable home matchup against the Mariners next weekend.

Ray took home the AL Cy Young for his work with Toronto in 2021 and was signed to a five-year, $115 million contract by the Mariners after the season. After a solid if unspectacular 2022 campaign that saw him register a 3.71 ERA and 212:67 K;BB over 189 innings, the left-hander was only able to make one start in 2023 before suffering a flexor strain that eventually led to Tommy John surgery in May, and he's expected to miss the first half of 2024. When healthy, Ray still has some of the better swing-and-miss stuff of any left-handed pitcher in baseball, and he's seen a dramatic improvement in his ability to throw strikes over the past two seasons thanks to some mechanical changes made after joining the Blue Jays in the middle of 2020. The question now becomes how much a year-plus delay will impede the 31-year-old's command, and if he'll still have the same ability to miss bats following the operation. There's certainly reason to believe he can be a strong option following next year's All-Star break, but there's considerable risk that comes with the potential reward.
