Rays' Ryan Pepiot Leaves Start After Getting Hit By 107.5 MPH Liner

May 6, 2024 7:45 AM

Tampa Bay Rays pitcher Ryan Pepiot left with a lower left leg bruise in the second inning of Sunday's game against the New York Mets after getting hit by a 107.5 mph line drive hit by Starling Marte.

Pepiot immediately fell to the ground but was able to get back up on his own. He left the game after throwing a couple of warmup pitches from the mound.

The Rays said X-rays were negative and Pepiot doesn't expect to miss his next start.

Pepiot is 3-2 with a 3.68 ERA in seven starts. He was acquired from the Los Angeles Dodgers last December in a trade where the Rays sent ace Tyler Glasnow to L.A.

Four Suspended For Roles In Brewers-Rays Brawl

May 2, 2024 8:36 AM

Four people, including Milwaukee Brewers manager Pat Murphy, have been suspended for their roles that led to a bench-clearing incident between the Brewers and Tampa Bay Rays in the eighth inning on Tuesday night.

Brewers starting pitcher Freddy Peralta received a five-game suspension for intentionally throwing at Jose Siri during the top of the sixth inning, while reliever Abner Uribe received six games after he and Siri squared off against each other two innings later.

Siri received a three-game suspension -- that was later reduced to two games -- while Murphy will miss two games as a result of Peralta's actions in addition to his inappropriate conduct toward umpires.
