Seattle Mariners Ace Robbie Ray Out for Season After Flexor Surgery

Seattle Mariners starting pitcher Robbie Ray will undergo flexor tendon repair surgery and miss the rest of the season.
Ray suffered a Grade 1 flexor strain in his first start of the season on March 31 against Cleveland.
Further testing found additional damage to the flexor tendon requiring surgery.
The loss of Ray, the reigning AL Cy Young winner, is a big blow to a Mariners team struggling offensively.
In 10 MLB seasons, Ray is 74-71 with a 3.96 ERA.
