Ray will miss a spring start after bruising his elbow while falling down some stairs but still hopes to be ready for the start of the regular season, Mike Wilner of the Toronto Star reports.
It's never good to see a pitcher suffer an elbow injury, though a bruise is among the least concerning possible issues. He's looked great this spring, posting a 1.98 ERA and an 18:5 K:BB in 13.2 innings -- seemingly setting himself up for a bounce-back season. The bruise could make him miss a turn in the rotation to start the year but shouldn't significantly alter his overall outlook.
