Luke Raley (forearm) remains out of the lineup for Tuesday’s game against the Angels.

Raley is presumably available off the bench, if needed, as he continues to battle a left forearm strain that has caused him to miss three straight games. It’ll be Weston Wilson drawing into the lineup in right field.

Luke Raley (forearm) remains out of the lineup for Monday’s series opener against the Angels.

It’s pretty remarkable that Raley has managed to avoid a trip to the injured list since he’s dealt with forearm and back issues, while also missing time due to illness, since mid-June. The 31-year-old will attempt to play through a left forearm strain that cropped up on a swing over the weekend. It’ll be Victor Robles in right field on Monday night in his place.

Luke Raley was held out of the Mariners’ starting lineup on Sunday afternoon due to elbow discomfort.

It’s an issue that Raley has battled at times throughout the season, and he tweaked it once again on a swing during Saturday’s ballgame. He’s considered day-to-day. Victor Robles will start in his place in right field and bat ninth for the M’s against Gavin Williams and the Guardians.

Luke Raley (back, illness) is hitting sixth and playing right field against the Pirates on Tuesday.

It’ll be the first start for Raley in a week, although the 31-year-old has been able to pinch hit off the bench. The left-handed hitting slugger is back, but Dom Canzone (hamstring) is out of the lineup for the series opener against PIttsburgh.

Luke Raley (illness) remains out of the lineup for Sunday’s series finale against the Red Sox.

Raley remains stapled to Seattle’s bench for the sixth straight contest, but figures to be available to pinch-hit at some point. He struck out as a pinch-hitter during Saturday’s contest. The 31-year-old masher has been dealing with an illness in addition to a lingering back issue for the better part of the last week. It’ll be Dominic Canzone heading out to right field with lefty-masher Rob Refsnyder at DH to face his former club.

Luke Raley (illness) struck out as a pinch-hitter on Saturday against the Red Sox.

Raley has remained out of Seattle’s lineup for five consecutive contests due to a combination of illness and back tightness. It’s undoubtedly a positive sign that the 31-year-old slugging corner outfielder was available off the bench during Saturday’s contest. There’s a chance he’s feeling well enough to return for Sunday’s series finale.

Luke Raley (flu) remains out of the Mariners’ starting lineup on Friday night against the Red Sox.

It’s the fourth straight game that Raley has missed while feeling under the weather, though with left-hander Ranger Suarez on the mound for the Red Sox he was unlikely to start on Friday night anyways. He’s still considered day-to-day.

Luke Raley (flu) is not in Seattle’s starting lineup against the Orioles for the third straight day.

Per the Seattle Times’ Ryan Divish, Raley’s back feels better but he’s now dealing with a flu. Dominic Canzone bumps up a spot in the lineup and Victor Robles will get his fifth-straight start. It doesn’t sound like Raley is in much danger of missing more time once the bug clears up.

Luke Raley (back) remains out of the lineup for Wednesday’s contest against the Orioles.

Raley will sit out his second straight contest with back tightness. It’ll be Connor Joe taking over in left field with Victor Robles in the opposite corner on Tuesday night at T-Mobile Park.

SEA Right Fielder #20

Luke Raley is out of the lineup for Tuesday’s series opener agains the Orioles with back tightness.

Seattle can’t really afford to lose any more position players to injury with both Randy Arozarena (hamstring) and Josh Naylor (shin, wrist) already sidelined. However, Raley is dealing with some back issues and the club doesn’t want to take any chances. He’s presumably day-to-day for now. It’ll be Victor Robles taking over in left field in his absence.

Red Sox signed RHP Sam McWilliams to a minor league contract.

McWilliams, 30, did a nice job for the Toros de Tijuana in the Mexican League, posting a 3.04 ERA, 1.31 WHIP and a 42/12 K/BB ratio over 26 2/3 innings. Back in affiliated ball, he’ll try once again to climb the ladder to the big leagues for the first time.

Jake McCarthy went 2-for-4 with a homer, four RBI and a walk in the Rockies’ 14-4 rout of the Marlins on Thursday.

McCarthy has had three four-RBI games in the last two months, matching his total from his first five seasons. The homer was his seventh, leaving him one shy of his career high.

Michael Lorenzen gave up four runs and walked six in 4 1/3 innings Thursday against the Marlins.

Lorenzen can’t get away with six walks anywhere but certainly not at Coors Field. He has an 8.21 ERA and a 31/22 K/BB in 41 2/3 innings at home this year. On the road, he’s still at 5.68, even though his 36/10 K/BB in 44 1/3 innings is pretty good. Lorenzen will make his next start Tuesday in L.A. against the Dodgers.

Ryan Gusto yielded three runs in three-plus innings Thursday against the Rockies.

Gusto came out after plunking Kyle Karros to start the fourth. He still hasn’t completed five innings in any of his six starts, and his ERA is sitting at 5.55. The Marlins might activate Janson Junk to replace him in the rotation next week. Braxton Garrett also seems like an option after throwing eight scoreless innings Wednesday for Triple-A Jacksonville.

Mickey Moniak went 3-for-5 with a homer, a double and three runs scored Thursday against the Marlins.

Moniak went 2-for-19 in his first seven games back from the IL, but he’s now homered in three straight games to erase the damage that stretch did to his OPS. He’s at .280/.330/.621 with 15 homers in 197 plate appearances.

Otto Lopez finished 3-for-5 with a triple and a double against the Rockies on Thursday.

Lopez is hitting .336, the best mark in the majors. His 115 hits are 10 more than Luis Arraez in second place. He seems like a lock for a reserve spot on the NL All-Star team. Either CJ Abrams or Mookie Betts is going to be the starter at shortstop, though Betts probably won’t be picked for the team if he isn’t the starter.

Royals designated RHP Eric Cerantola for assignment.

It’s been a tough week for the 26-year-old right-hander as he was optioned to Triple-A Omaha on Wednesday and now gets booted from the team’s 40-man roster to make room for Luke Maile on Thursday. It seems likely that he’ll slip through waivers unclaimed and will continue to function as extra bullpen depth for the Royals.
