Raley

It’s a tough break after Raley hit the injured list with a forearm strain over the weekend. The 31-year-old finishes the year hitting .225/.284/.439 with 15 homers in 287 plate appearances across 95 games.

Raley has been snake-bitten by injuries this season and heads to the injured list after missing a couple games with an ongoing forearm issue. There won’t be a clearer idea concerning how much time he’ll miss until he undergoes further evaluation and imaging.

Raley has been dealing with a flexor strain in his forearm and the elbow issue for a while now, and it’s possible that it may ultimately require a trip to the injured list to get it right. If he’s not able to go at some point this weekend, the Mariners’ hand could be forced.

The 31-year-old slugger missed the previous three games due to a left forearm strain. He’ll start in right field and bat seventh against Angels’ rookie right-hander Walbert Urena on Thursday evening in Seattle.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
