Rest-of-Season Projections
Makes final start at Triple-A
Raya threw five scoreless innings with four strikeouts and no walks in his first start with Triple-A St. Paul on Friday. He was promoted for the final weekend of the season after posting a 4.06 ERA with a 9.4 K/9 at Double-A Wichita.
ANALYSIS
Raya wasn't overly impressive at Double-A with a 4.3 BB/9, as walks have been a concern the last two seasons (4.3 BB/9 at Double-A in 2023 as well). Raya also didn't go more than five innings in any outing after being limited to three-inning appearances most of 2023 as he worked his way back from shoulder issues. It's not clear if his future is as a reliever or starter, but he could contend for a major-league job next spring.

2023 Fantasy Outlook
A 2020 fourth-round pick, Raya didn't pitch in 2021 due to a shoulder strain, but had an impressive pro debut last year. He's missed some time in 2022 as well, as one might surmise from his relatively thin innings total, but Raya has looked good when he's been on the mound. His fastball sits in the mid-to-high 90s and he has a quality curveball, slider and change as well, so the stuff is there for the 20-year-old to grow into a big-league starter. Durability will be the big question for Raya, but he's shown enough upside to make himself into a target for dynasty managers.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Likely to join 40-man roster
Aaron Gleeman of The Athletic believes Raya will be added to the Twins' 40-man roster this offseason to protect him from the Rule 5 Draft.
ANALYSIS
The right-hander spent most of 2024 with Double-A Wichita and had a 4.06 ERA, 1.37 WHIP and 92:42 K:BB across 88.2 innings, though he finished the campaign with a scoreless five-inning start for Triple-A St. Paul. Raya is expected to begin 2025 in St. Paul's rotation and still has plenty of upside given he just turned 22 years old in August.
