Ray hit a solo home run in Sunday's spring game against the Reds.

EDGE Analysis

Ray went hitless over 10 plate appearances in February, but he picked up both his first base knock and long ball on the same swing Sunday. The former top prospect is getting a chance to show what he can do this spring, but given the Brewers' outfield depth and the fact Ray hit just .188 at the Triple-A last season, it's likely he will open in the minors.

Ray was added to the Brewers' 40-man roster Wednesday, Tom Haudricourt of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.

EDGE Analysis

Ray missed time last season with a finger injury. He was quite poor when available in 53 games for Triple-A San Antonio, hitting .188/.261/.329 while striking out 38.7 percent of the time. He has some work to do to conquer that level before he deserves a big-league look.

Ray (finger) was activated from his rehab assignment and was assigned to Double-A Biloxi.

EDGE Analysis

The demotion to Double-A appears to be be geared toward getting Ray's confidence back following a poor season to date at Triple-A (.178/.259/.287 slash with 49 strikeouts in 25 games), in what has been both a disappointing and injury-marred campaign.

Ray (finger) began a rehab assignment Wednesday and collected two hits in his first game back.

EDGE Analysis

Ray tantalized with a 27-homer, 37-steal campaign at Double-A Biloxi last season, but the underlying contact issues that have been apparent since his pro debut continue to be a problem, as he's slashed just .178/.259/.287 in 25 games at Triple-A San Antonio this year with a whopping 49 strikeouts in 101 at-bats.

Ray (finger) will be sidelined 4-to-6 weeks due to a jammed finger, Todd Rosiak of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.

EDGE Analysis

Ray landed on the injured list at Triple-A San Antonio with the injury in late April but made his return relatively quickly, though it appears he never fully recovered and has been playing through the issue, leading to his return to the IL. The 25-year-old will be shut down for a bit before starting his rehab work.

Ray was placed on the 7-day injured list at Triple-A San Antonio with a finger injury, Tom Haudricourt of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.

EDGE Analysis

He dealt with the same finger injury earlier this season and is now back on the shelf. Ray is hitting .178 with a 43.8 percent strikeout rate this season. Some of those struggles might be traced back to the finger injury, but it is nonetheless a rough first 25 games at Triple-A for Ray.

Ray went 3-for-5 with a home run and a double Sunday in Triple-A San Antonio's 10-9 loss to New Orleans in 10 innings.

EDGE Analysis

Ray endured a rough start to the Pacific Coast Leagues season, hitting .170 over 12 games before heading to the 7-day injured list due to a hand issue. After returning to action May 7, Ray notched only one hit in 10 at-bats before his bat finally caught fire over the weekend. The 24-year-old left the yard Sunday for the third consecutive game, improving his season slugging percentage by 194 points during that stretch.

Ray (personal) returned to action Tuesday with Triple-A San Antonio and went 1-for-4.

EDGE Analysis

Ray had not played since April 16 due to a finger injury and the subsequent birth of his child, but he was able to get back on the field Tuesday after a three-week absence. Ray is still looking to get things going this season, posting just a .426 OPS through 13 games.

Ray was removed from Friday's lineup at Triple-A San Antonio due to the upcoming birth of his child, Adam McCalvy of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Ray was activated off the minor-league injured list Friday after dealing with a finger injury, but wasn't able to make his return as expected after his wife went into labor. The 24-year-old should be able to rejoin the Missions after spending some time with his family.

Ray (finger) is back in the lineup for Triple-A San Antonio on Friday, Adam McCalvy of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Ray had missed over two weeks with a finger injury after attempting to make a diving catch. He was hitting just .170 with a 46.2 percent strikeout rate in 12 games prior to the injury.
