Brewers Outright Corey Ray

By Darragh McDonald | June 18, 2022 at 5:26pm CDT

The Brewers announced to reporters, including Adam McCalvy of MLB.com, that outfielder Corey Ray has been outrighted to Triple-A Nashville.

Selected fifth overall in the 2016 draft, Ray came with a lot of hype when he first entered the organization, with evaluators giving praise to his athleticism and hitting ability. In 2017, Baseball America ranked Ray the #42 prospect in all of baseball. Unfortunately, things haven’t gone according to plan since then, with Ray struggling to get into a groove at the minors’ highest level.

In 2019, Ray reached Triple-A for the first time, but hit just .188/.261/.329 in 53 games that year. After the minor leagues were canceled by the pandemic in 2020, Ray made his MLB debut in 2021, though he got into just one game before being optioned back down to Nashville. For the rest of the year, he struggled to stay healthy and only got into 39 games. He did managed to put up a decent line of .274/.325/.500 when on the field, but has taken a step backwards this year to the tune of .141/.175/.263.

There was no previous reporting of Ray being designated for assignment, but the club evidently got him through waivers unclaimed at some point recently. He will now stay in the organization but without occupying a roster spot. The club’s 40-man roster count is now 39.

      Better wait for stubby’s thoughts here. He might think Ray should be handed a starting job right now.

      Gotta bust on stubby a little every now and then.

        Hey now honestly never was a fan am very surprised that White Sox didn’t take a Crack at him then store him in AAA. Might be somebody who could have benefitted a new organization and batting coach. Pineapple your a good man

    2016 draft was loaded, but in the later selections. Teams in the top 10 did so poorly. Best selection was Ian Anderson who isn’t that great.

      Top 5*. Manning and Quantrill are solid.

        Manning is a question mark.

        Quantrill is solid but similar to Anderson in peripherals.

      Puk is finally healthy but likely limited to reliever

    To bad the Blue Jays can’t just fire him.

    Wanted the Phillies to pick either him or Groome in 2016. Can’t believe Moniak looks like a better pick than either so far.

      Haha. I was hoping Groome would fall to the Braves at 40 for overslot instead of Wentz.

      Honestly, I’m hoping the Sox give up on Groome then the Braves snag him and make him a dominant lefty out of the pen.

    Typically lazy with a me first attitude. Plenty of talent squandered.

    Knew was a bad pick. He was bottom half on his college team in OPS. Ks way to much. 1 single token game so he’ll be benefited as a MLB player. Puk was the following pick. Wasn’t a good draft overall but a 5th pick that turns complete useless? 0 trade value.much less ML time. What a bust

    Guy was so over hyped as a 5 tool player and could never figure out how to hit past lower league ball.
