Cal Raleigh Plays "Light Catch" on Monday
Seattle Mariners manager Dan Wilson said that catcher Cal Raleigh (oblique) was slated to play "light catch" on Monday, per Daniel Kramer of MLB.com. Kramer notes that this marks Raleigh's first baseball activity since being placed on the 10-day injured list on May 14 with an oblique strain. While Raleigh's progression to playing catch on Monday is obviously a positive sign, it appears as though Seattle's slugger is still a way away from returning to the big leagues. Raleigh got off to a miserable start to 2026 before the injury, hitting .161/.243/.317 with seven home runs, 18 RBI, 16 runs scored, and two stolen bases across 181 plate appearances. The 29-year-old attempted to play through oblique issues before ultimately being shut down, so the Mariners could be taking every precaution to ensure that Raleigh is pain-free before returning to the lineup. Despite his poor start to 2026, Raleigh remains an elite power threat and a must-start fantasy catcher once healthy.
