Ray (concussion) was activated from the disabled list ahead of his start Thursday against the Mets.
Ray has been out for the entire month of August while recovering from a comebacker that struck the southpaw during his start against the Cardinals on July 28. He was able to appear in a rehab outing for High-A Visalia a week ago, striking out 11 batters in 4.2 innings while allowing two earned runs. The 25-year-old appears to be fully ready to work following the scary incident, and looks to get back on track with a matinee start against New York. Matt Koch was optioned to Triple-A Reno on Wednesday night in order to make room for Ray on the active roster.
