Short outing against Dodgers Ray allowed one run on seven hits and a walk while striking out two over 3.1 innings in a no-decision versus the Dodgers on Wednesday.

Impact Ray's short outing came down to inefficiency -- he needed 84 pitches (55 strikes) to get the 10 outs. It's been a bumpy September for the veteran lefty, who has allowed 14 runs over 16.2 innings with a 14:11 K:BB this month. His regular season is likely done at a 13-8 record with a 3.59 ERA, 1.35 WHIP and 140:84 K:BB over 31 games (30 starts) between the Padres and the Giants. Ray is lined up to pitch in the wild-card series in the likely event the Padres secure a playoff spot.

Quality start in 13th win Ray (13-8) allowed three runs on three hits and two walks while striking out six over six innings to earn the win over the Rockies on Wednesday.

Impact After giving up five runs in back-to-back starts, Ray was a little better this time out, though he was trending even better before giving up a two-run home run to Kyle Karros in the sixth inning. This was his 12th quality start of the year, which has been a given any time he makes it through six innings in a start. The southpaw has a 3.60 ERA, 1.33 WHIP and 138:83 K:BB across 162.1 innings over 30 games (29 starts) on the year. Ray is projected to make his next start on the road versus the Dodgers.

Tagged for five runs Ray (12-8) allowed five runs on four hits and four walks while striking out five over five innings, earning the win over the Giants on Friday.

Impact Ray didn't pitch well, but he did enough to get the win over his former team. He's now allowed 10 runs across 7.1 innings over his two starts in September, and he's winless over his last four outings. For the season, the southpaw is at a 3.57 ERA, 1.35 WHIP and 132:81 K:BB across 156.1 innings through 29 games (28 starts). He'll look to build off his 100th career win when he takes the mound in Colorado next week.

2026 MLB Power Rankings: The X-Factors Who Could Swing The Season

Battles control in short start Ray (11-8) took the loss against the Yankees on Saturday, allowing five runs on five hits and four walks while striking out one batter over 2.1 innings.

Impact Ray breezed through the first inning, retiring the side in order on three groundouts while tossing just eight pitches. The rest of the lefty's start went in the complete opposite direction, however, as he gave up four runs on three hits and three walks in the second frame and another run on two hits and a walk in the third before being pulled with one out. Overall, Ray threw just 36 of 68 pitches for strikes and notched only four whiffs. Control has long been an issue for the veteran hurler, and things haven't changed since he's joined the Padres, as Ray has now walked 20 batters over 29 innings across six starts with his new club. He had mostly gotten away with the free passes coming into Saturday, yielding two or fewer runs in four straight outings, but there's always going to be a risk of an implosion with a pitcher who puts runners on via walks as frequently as Ray does.

Collects second win with Padres Ray did not factor into the decision Sunday against the Rays, allowing one run on three hits and three walks while striking out four over six innings.

Impact Ray's only blemish came when Junior Caminero led off the fourth inning with a solo homer. The left-hander has now held opponents to two or fewer runs in four of his five starts since joining the Padres, posting a 3.42 ERA during that span, though his control remains a concern with a 5.5 BB/9. Through 149 innings this season, Ray owns a 3.14 ERA, 1.30 WHIP and 126:73 K:BB. His next start is scheduled for the Yankees on Saturday.

Goes 5.1 frames in no-decision Ray allowed two runs on five hits and two walks while striking out five batters over 5.1 innings in a no-decision against Pittsburgh on Monday.

Impact Ray and Braxton Ashcraft traded zeroes until the sixth inning, when Pittsburgh notched a pair of runs on Ray's ledger. The first came on an Esmerlyn Valdez solo homer, while the second run crossed the plate on a double after Ray departed. While his final frame spoiled Ray's shot at a second straight quality start, it was nonetheless an overall positive outing by the left-hander, who has given up two or fewer runs in three of his four outings since joining San Diego at the trade deadline. Ray will likely need to clean up his 15:13 K:BB across 20.1 innings during that span to build consistent success, but he's being counted on fortify a Padres rotation that could get back both Joe Musgrove (elbow) and Nick Pivetta (forearm) at some point in September.
