Toronto Blue Jays starting pitcher Robbie Ray stymied the Rays over seven frames on Saturday, but settled for a no-decision in the team's 3-1 loss. The lefty struck out seven batters while allowing one earned run on five hits, with the only damage done on a home run off the bat of Mike Zunino. Home runs continue to be an issue for Ray as he's allowed a 2.28 HR/9 on the year, but fantasy managers will certainly take the trade-off for a low walk rate (2.09 BB/9) and WHIP (1.08). He'll take a ...

Toronto Blue Jays starting pitcher Robbie Ray struck out nine over 5 2/3 innings during the team's 10-8 win over the Phillies on Sunday, earning himself his second win of the year. The left-hander allowed four runs on seven hits and a walk in the outing with all of the damage coming off of three homers. Ray's propensity to give up the long ball is becoming problematic as he now holds a 2.45 HR/9 on the year while giving up at least one dinger in six of his seven games. If he could somehow keep ...

Toronto Blue Jays starting pitcher Robbie Ray kept his strong start to the 2021 season going versus the Braves on Tuesday, striking out 10 in the team's 5-3 victory. The southpaw allowed three runs on five hits and one walk in the 99-pitch effort as he unfortunately settled for the no-decision. Ray had gone three-straight games without issuing a free pass, but we'll certainly take just the one freebie tonight after he's struggled with control for most of his career. His improved command has ...

Toronto Blue Jays starting pitcher Robbie Ray hurled a quality start against the Braves in the team's 13-5 win on Friday night. The lefty tossed 6 2/3 innings while allowing two runs on five hits and striking out five. The damage came on a two-run homer off the bat of Ozzie Albies in the seventh, but the big takeaway from this game is that he never issued a free pass for the second-straight game. Walks have always plagued the 29-year-old, but with his command improving this season, we've seen ...

Toronto Blue Jays starting pitcher Robbie Ray struck out nine and issued no free passes in Saturday's no-decision loss to the Tampa Bay Rays. The southpaw was impressive in this one as he hit 98.3 MPH on the gun with his fastball while allowing just six hits through six frames, but a pair of long balls blemished the outing. A solo shot by Mike Zunino in the second and a two-run homer off the bat of Mike Brosseau in the sixth forced him to leave the contest with the game tied, but it was ...

But he kept the Royals scoreless and struck out five batters. Ray was making just his second start of the season after missing the beginning of the year due to an elbow bruise.

Friday's game between the Toronto Blue Jays and Kansas City Royals has been postponed due to the heavy rain that is expected in the region during game time.

The delay could be a welcomed move for Toronto ...

Ray walked three batters and allowed three hits in five innings of work. He gave up just two runs on a homer by Yankees ...

McGrath adds that the team does not have a set day for his return yet, but he was feeling good after throwing a bullpen session on Wednesday, so he could be back sooner than...
