Taking the mound for the Giants will be left-hander Robbie Ray, who enters tonight’s game with a 2.98 ERA, 3.73 FIP, with 152 strikeouts to 56 walks in 148 innings pitched. His last start was in the Giants’ 5-1 loss to the Padres last Tuesday, in which he allowed four runs on seven hits with four strikeouts and a walk in six innings.

San Diego Padres center fielder Jackson Merrill is out of the Padres lineup against the Giants on Monday after suffering an apparent left ankle injury in Sunday's series finale against the Dodgers.
