Scouting Report
Updated May 19, 2026
Robbie Ray, 34-year-old left-hander for the San Francisco Giants, was hit by a comebacker on his quadriceps during a start against Arizona on May 18, 2026, forcing an early exit. However, he is not expected to miss significant time and should make his next start. Ray's recent performance has been inconsistent - he posted a solid 3.04 ERA and 1.17 WHIP through 50.1 innings over nine starts, with several quality outings (including a 6-inning, 1-run performance vs Pittsburgh on May 9). However, his most recent start was disastrous, allowing 10 runs on 11 hits in 4.1 innings vs Arizona. Notably, his slider velocity was down nearly 3 mph from his season average (84.7 vs 87.5 mph), and he struggled to generate strikeouts (only 4 whiffs on 38 swings). Ray has also shown control issues, walking multiple batters in several starts.
