There will be no return to Toronto for Robbie Ray this season.
Seattle Mariners manager Scott Servais confirmed that the 2021 American League Cy Young winner did not accompany the team for their three-game set with the Blue Jays starting on Monday.
Ray wasn't scheduled to pitch in Toronto after starting and picking up the win in the Mariners' 8-7 win over the New York Mets on Sunday.
Ray, who spent the past two seasons with the Jays, signed a five-year, $115 million deal with the M's in the offseason.
While the 30-year-old Ray isn't with the team, he wasn't placed on the restricted list on Monday ahead of the series. Reliever Drew Steckenrider was placed on the list and pitcher Roenis Elias was recalled from Triple-A Tacoma in a corresponding move.
In eight starts with the Mariners this season, Ray is 4-3 with an earned run average of 4.62 and WHIP of 1.192 over 48.2 innings pitched. He has 50 strikeouts to 18 walks.
Ray is next set to take the hill on Friday against the Boston Red Sox.
