Mariners' Robbie Ray lands on IL after season opener.
Robbie Ray has been placed on the 15-day IL due to a Grade 1 flexor strain in his left forearm. Chris Flexen will replace him in the rotation for at least a month. Fantasy players who drafted Ray as a No. 2 starting pitcher should consider waiver claims for replacement options such as Graham Ashcraft, Mike Clevinger, Justin Steele, Mackenzie Gore, and Jhony Brito.
