What It Means:

Ray is still working his way back from Tommy John surgery, so his addition to the Giants' injured-list is not unexpected. The former Mariners ace is expected to make his Giants debut later this summer.

Ray won the Cy Young award in 2021 with a league-high 248 strikeouts across 193 innings. Excluding last year's injury-related game, he has pitched to a 3.27 ERA with a 1.117 WHIP and 10.8 strikeouts per 9 innings over his last two healthy seasons, and should be a strong fantasy contributor when he does return.
