MLB Note - Arizona Diamondbacks Ray, Robbie

Aug 24, 2017 - 8:04 AM LHP Robbie Ray will return from the disabled list Thursday, when he takes the mound against the Mets at Citi Field. Ray has made a remarkable recovery from a scary injury sustained in his most recent big league start July 28, when he tossed 1 2/3 scoreless innings against the St. Louis Cardinals before he was hit in the head by a 108 mph line drive off the bat of 1B Luke Volt. Though he never lost consciousness, Ray was diagnosed with a concussion and needed three staples to close a cut on the side of his head. He was placed on the seven-day concussion disabled list July 29 but was able to resume throwing within a matter of days. He struck out 11 batters over 4 2/3 innings in a rehab start for Class A Visalia on Aug. 17. Ray is 1-0 with a 0.53 ERA in three career starts against the Mets.
