Robbie Ray Leaves Start Early After Being Hit by Comebacker
San Francisco Giants left-hander Robbie Ray (quadriceps) left his start early on Monday night on the road against the division-rival Arizona Diamondbacks after fielding a comebacker that deflected off his quadriceps, according to Justice delos Santos of The San Jose Mercury News. delos Santos speculates that Ray's exit might not have been injury-related, though, after he allowed a whopping 10 runs (nine earned) on 11 hits (two homers) while walking two and striking out only one in 4 1/3 innings of work to take his sixth loss of the season. Either way, we'll be keeping a close eye on Ray's status in the coming days, and fantasy managers should be mindful that his next start could be up in the air. The 34-year-old former Cy Young winner and two-time All-Star came into Monday's start in the desert with a solid 3.04 ERA, 1.17 WHIP, and 49 punchouts in 50 1/3 innings across nine starts, but his nightmarish outing ballooned his ERA to 4.28. If Ray's leg injury isn't too serious, he could be one of the more popular trade targets this summer in the final year of his contract in San Fran.
