Raleigh

A groundout, a popout and two strikeouts. Raleigh is hitting .154 with one homer in 16 games since coming off the injured list, and his current .560 OPS is the same mark he had when he got hurt in May. In his 60-homer season, Raleigh had 200 hard-hit balls and 188 strikeouts in 159 games. Right now, he has 42 hard-hit balls and 79 strikeouts in 57 games.

Raleigh hit a ball 394 feet to right off Mitch Keller in the fourth. Raleigh, who missed a month with a strained oblique, seemed to catch fire in the minors before being activated a week ago, but he’d gone just 3-for-18 with no extra-base hits since returning. The homer tonight was his eighth in 48 games overall this year.

Raleigh came up big on his first day back with the Mariners. With the bases loaded in the seventh inning in a tie game, he delivered a base hit to drive in two runners to give Seattle the lead. The two runs would prove to be the difference in the win. The 29-year-old slugger is now hitting .165/.249/.317 with seven homers and 20 RBI across 185 plate appearances.

Raleigh returns to Seattle’s lineup for Tuesday’s series opener against the Orioles following a one-month absence recovering from a right oblique strain. The 29-year-old slugging backstop seemed to unlock something with his swing during his minor league rehab stint where he went 6-for-14 with five homers across four games at Triple-A Tacoma. He broke nearly every single-season offensive record for a catcher last year and could be in line for a monster second half if he’s rediscovered his previously elite form at the dish.

Raleigh will rejoin Seattle’s lineup following a one-month absence due to a right oblique strain that put him on the injured list for the first time in his six-year career. The 29-year-old slugging backstop went 6-for-14 with five homers across four games for Triple-A Tacoma on a brief minor league rehab assignment. It’s possible the time away and out of the spotlight enabled Raleigh to rediscover last year’s record-setting form, which makes him an obvious buy-low candidate in all fantasy leagues.

Raleigh is hitting .429 with three home runs and a 2.214 OPS since starting his rehab assignment last weekend. We would say he’s ready to come back and rejoin the Mariners’ lineup.

Raleigh started at catcher and played five innings behind the dish. That was all he needed to crush a pair of homers, including a grand slam, during his second rehab contest. The 29-year-old backstop figures to need a couple additional tune-up contests since he’s been out since mid-May recovering from an oblique strain. It wouldn’t be surprising if he were ready to rejoin Seattle’s lineup later this week.

Raleigh will head to Triple-A Tacoma next week before potentially making it back to Seattle at some point around mid-June. The 29-year-old slugging backstop has been on the shelf recovering from a right oblique strain since mid-May. It was his first-ever trip to the injured list during his six-year career. There’s stil plenty of time for him to turn things around in the second half following a slow start to the year at the dish.

Raleigh resumed baseball activities last week after hitting the injured list for the first time in his entire six-year career with a right oblique strain back on May 14. The 29-year-old backstop figures to be ready for a minor league rehab assignment at some point in the near future.

It’s the first time Raleigh has done any baseball-related activities since hitting the injured list for the first time in his career with a right oblique strain back on May 14. The 29-year-old backstop figures to be ready to return in a couple weeks but remains without a definitive timeline.
