Seattle Mariners’ starting pitcher and 2021 American League Cy Young winner, Robbie Ray, will miss the entire 2023 season due to undergoing surgery to repair his left flexor tendon, as announced by manager Scott Servais. This unfortunate news comes after Ray’s one-game appearance in the 2023 season, where he was placed on the 15-day injured list in April due to a flexor strain. During this game, Ray pitched 3.1 innings, allowed four hits, and three earned runs while striking out three batters. The Mariners signed Ray, following his impressive 2021 AL Cy Young season with the Toronto Blue Jays, to a lucrative five-year, $115-million contract, which includes a player option after the 2024 campaign. Stay tuned for updates on Ray’s condition and recovery progress.
