RYAN PEPIOT NEWS

Quality start versus Yankees Pepiot (1-3) was tagged with a loss after he pitched six innings, giving up three runs on six hits and a walk while striking out seven batters in Sunday's 4-0 defeat to the Yankees...

Impact Pepiot bounced back well after surrendering six runs over six innings in his last start Tuesday against the Red Sox. One of the right-hander's greatest problems this season has been the long ball and he surrendered two more Sunday. Trent Grisham launched a solo shot in the first inning before Cody Bellinger went deep with a solo homer of his own in the top of the sixth. Pepiot has now given up eight home runs over his first five starts of the season. He'll carry a 4.82 ERA and 1.50 WHIP into his next projected start Saturday in San Diego.

Peppered for six runs Pepiot (1-2) took the loss against the Red Sox on Tuesday, allowing six runs on nine hits and two walks while striking out eight in six innings.

Impact Pepiot was able to register eight punchouts for the second time this season, thanks in large part to the 17 whiffs he generated in 102 pitches (of which 70 were strikes). However, he still had issues with his command and gave up a season-high nine hits, and two of the six runs he yielded came on solo homers from Jarren Duran and Alex Bregman in the second and third innings, respectively. Pepiot has started the season with a 4.91 ERA, 1.59 WHIP and 24:9 K:BB across 22 innings. He'll look to get back into the win column in his next start, tentatively slated for this weekend at home against Aaron Judge and the Yankees.

Grabs first win of 2025 Pepiot (1-1) earned the win against the Angels on Wednesday. He gave up three runs on six hits and three walks while striking out five across five innings.

Impact All three of the runs Pepiot gave up came on solo home runs, but he got enough help from the Rays' offense (mostly from Jose Caballero's grand slam in the first inning) to earn his first win of the 2025 season. Pepiot generated 16 first-pitch strikes and 15 whiffs in 91 pitches, and through three starts he's posted a 3.38 ERA, 1.50 WHIP and 16:7 K:BB across 16 innings. He'll look to make it two wins in a row in his next start, which is tentatively slated for next week at home against Boston.

Stuck with loss Wednesday Pepiot (0-1) took the loss Wednesday as the Rays were downed 4-2 by the Pirates, giving up two runs on five hits and three walks over five innings. He struck out three.

Impact A Ke'Bryan Hayes leadoff triple in the second inning and an Oneil Cruz solo shot in the fifth led to the only damage against Pepiot, but the right-hander had no margin for error with Paul Skenes on the mound for the Bucs. Pepiot has had a strong beginning to his season, posting a 2.45 ERA and 11:4 K:BB through his first 11 innings, but Tampa Bay has scored just five runs combined in his two starts. The right-hander will look for more support in his next outing, which is scheduled to come at home next week against the Angels.

Impact With Shane McClanahan (triceps) on the shelf, it was Pepiot who helped launch a new chapter in Rays' history with their opener at George M. Steinbrenner Field, the Yankees' Spring Training facility, which will be the Rays' home for 2025. Pepiot looked overpowering at times, but was wild in the fourth inning. After hitting Michael Toglia with an errant curveball, the righty threw a wild pitch which advanced Toglia another 90 feet. He would eventually cross home plate on a sacrifice fly by Kyle Farmer. Luckily, Tampa's offense came to life late and kept Pepiot out of the loss column. He is tentatively slated to face the Pirates his next time out.

Stepping in to start Opening Day Manager Kevin Cash announced Sunday that Pepiot will start Friday's season opener against the Rockies, Ryan Bass of FanDuel Sports Network Sun reports.

Impact Shane McClanahan had previously been named Tampa Bay's Opening Day starter, but a triceps injury will put him on the injured list to begin the season. Pepiot is coming off his first full season as an MLB starter, and he pitched well in 26 starts with a 3.60 ERA, 1.15 WHIP and 142:48 K:BB over 130 innings.

Builds up to 72 pitches Pepiot allowed two earned runs on three hits and two walks while striking out four across four innings in Wednesday's Grapefruit League game against the Tigers.

Impact Pepiot made only his second spring start, though he's already stretched out to 72 pitches. He hasn't been particularly sharp in his pair of outings, allowing three earned runs across six innings while maintaining a 6:3 K:BB. The Rays have seven potential starters for their rotation, though Pepiot figures to be locked into a starting role throughout the campaign.
