Jun 27 2025 | Pepiot didn't factor into Friday's decision against the Orioles, allowing four runs on five hits and two walks while striking out one batter across 1.2 innings. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Pepiot induced three groundball outs in the first frame and was gifted a six-run lead by the Rays heading into the second. However, Pepiot allowed the first three hitters he faced on base before yielding a two-run double and two-run single to Coby Mayo and Ramon Urias, respectively. Pepiot was lifted after giving up another single and finished his outing with just five recorded outs while tossing 48 pitches (30 strikes). It was the first time in his major-league career that he failed to make it out of the second inning. Pepiot will look to bounce back in his next start, which is lined up for next week at home against the Athletics. |

The right-hander has had his best stuff lately as over the last three starts and 19.2 innings, the 27-year-old has struck out 28 batters.

Pepiot set a season-high with nine strikeouts and totaled 19 whiffs but failed to reach six innings for the first time since May 2.

He surrendered solo home runs to Jake Burger and Marcus Semien in this contest, but he was spared the loss when the Rays rallied for a walk-off win in the ninth inning. Pepiot has logged six straight quality starts, allowing nine runs over his last 37.2 innings. He's at a 3.20 ERA, 1.13 WHIP and 64:22 K:BB across 76 innings through 13 starts this season.

He struck out four. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The right-hander faced the minimum number of batters through four innings and didn't let a runner get into scoring position while he was on the mound, exiting with a 1-0 lead after 93 pitches (61 strikes). The Tampa Bay bullpen cost Pepiot his fourth win of the season, however, and he had to settle for his fifth straight quality start and eighth of the season. He'll take a 3.21 ERA, 1.16 WHIP and 56:20 K:BB through 70 innings into his next outing, which lines up to come at home next week against the Rangers. |

The right-hander lowered his ERA to 3.55 with a 1.23 WHIP and 52:19 K:BB across 11 starts (63.1 innings) this year.

May 19 2025 | Pepiot did not factor in the decision during Monday's loss to Houston. He allowed three runs on eight hits and a walk over six innings while striking out two. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Pepiot's start was better than the final line would suggest, outside of a three-run second inning by the Astros. All three runs came with two outs in the frame, starting with a solo shot by Victor Caratini. Pepiot has now produced six quality starts in 10 appearances this season, including three straight and five in his last six outings. Despite the overall consistency, he owns a disappointing 3.99 ERA with a 47:18 K:BB through 56.1 frames. Pepiot is currently lined up for a home start against Toronto this weekend. |

May 14 2025 | Pepiot (2-5) took the loss against the Blue Jays on Wednesday, allowing three runs on six hits and one walk while striking out seven across six innings. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Pepiot managed to keep the Blue Jays off the board through the first five innings, but he gave up a three-run homer to Alejandro Kirk in the sixth and was unable to get enough run support from the Rays' hitters to avoid the loss. Pepiot has logged a quality start in four of his last five appearances but has taken the loss in three of those outings. The 27-year-old right-hander has a 3.47 ERA and 1.26 WHIP across 49.1 innings this season and is lined up to face the Astros at home next week. |

May 8 2025 | Pepiot didn't factor into the decision Thursday against the Phillies after allowing one run on two hits and two walks in six innings. He struck out three. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: While Pepiot did fail to fan more than three in his third straight start, that didn't stop him from holding the Phillies in check. The right-hander gave up a season-low two hits, and he also threw six innings while conceding one run or less for the third time in eight starts this season. Pepiot has just seven punchouts over his past three outings, but he's yielded just four runs and hasn't surrendered a single long ball during this stretch. He'll take a steady 3.86 ERA, 1.31 WHIP and 38:16 K:BB across 44.1 innings into his next scheduled appearance against the Blue Jays, who have a weak .646 OPS against right-handed pitching through 36 games. |

May 2 2025 | Pepiot (2-4) took the loss against the Yankees on Friday, allowing two runs on five hits and two walks while striking out one batter over 4.1 innings. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Pepiot allowed at least one baserunner in each of the first four innings of Friday's start, but was able to manoeuvre out of those frames without allowing a run. He was lifted in the fifth inning after giving up a walk and a double, and Pepiot was tagged for two runs after Paul Goldschmidt belted a three-run home run off Rays reliever Mason Montgomery. Pepiot generated just 10 first-pitch strikes and five whiffs on 88 pitches (55 strikes) and wasn't able to complete five innings for the first time in seven starts. He's in line to face the Phillies at home next week. |
