Player Notes
August 19, 2008
Chris Ray is ready to step up his minor league rehab work. The closer will pitch one inning for High-A Frederick on Friday and one inning for Low-A Aberdeen on Monday, MLB.com reports. Ray underwent Tommy John surgery in mid-August of 2007. The Orioles don't have a timeline for Ray returning to the majors.

Our View:Fantasy owners shouldn't get too excited. Even if Ray moves to the majors at some point, we doubt he'll return to the closer's role. The Orioles just want to get him ready for 2009, when he should be the stopper again.
August 11, 2008
Chris Ray, who is slowly recovering from right elbow surgery, threw an inning in the Gulf Coast League on Friday, according to the Baltimore Sun. He threw 17 strikes in 22 pitches in his first live action since surgery last August.

Our View:He should remain in the rookie-level Gulf Coast League, as the team does not see the advantage of having him pitch in Baltimore for a week or two in September.
August 7, 2008
Chris Ray who is slowly recovering from right elbow surgery, does not expect to return to the Orioles this season, according to the Baltimore Sun.

Our View:He could be cleared to pitch in a couple of games in the Rookie-level Gulf Coast League in a couple of weeks, but the team does not see the benefit of having him pitch in Baltimore for a week or two in September.
July 5, 2008
Chris Ray pitched in a simulated game on Wednesday, but he isn't close to being ready for real action. "He'll just continue his throwing program and mound progression," manager Dave Trembley informs the Baltimore Sun. "He has not been slowed down." Ray is coming off Tommy John surgery, and he aims to be back to the majors by late August or early September. The Orioles say they are being conservative and aren't counting on him to return this season.

Our View:We don't expect Ray to regain his closer's role this year, and it'll be interesting to see how the Orioles handle the situation next spring if George Sherrill finishes with a strong second half.
May 23, 2008
Chris Ray, recovering from Tommy John surgery, had his third bullpen session Friday, making 30 throws, according to the Baltimore Sun. He expects to go on a minor league rehab assignment on Aug. 1 and still expects to pitch for the Orioles once rosters expand in September.

Our View:It's unlikely Ray will close any games this year, especially with George Sherrill doing so well, but he should be in line to get his job back in 2009 if all goes well in his rehab.
