Robbie Ray wasn't with the Seattle Mariners when they kicked off a series against the Blue Jays in Toronto on Monday night.

Scott Servais said last week that the Mariners would be without a "couple" of players because of Canada's rules dictating that all players who enter the country must be vaccinated against COVID-19. 

Ray didn't have a locker set up in Seattle's clubhouse and isn't injured. He'll make his next start on Friday against the Boston Red Sox.

He is the reigning American League Cy Young winner.
