Cal Raleigh Back From Injured List and Starting on Tuesday
The Seattle Mariners announced on Tuesday that they reinstated catcher Cal Raleigh (oblique) from the 10-day injured list, and he's in the starting lineup behind the dish and batting second for the M's as they take on the visiting Baltimore Orioles and right-hander Brandon Young at T-Mobile Park. In a corresponding move, Jhonny Pereda was optioned to Triple-A Tacoma. Raleigh will return to the M's starting nine for the first time in a month due to an oblique strain that landed him on the IL on May 14. In five minor-league rehab games with High-A Everett and Triple-A Tacoma, the Big Dumper went 7-for-17 with five home runs, 12 RBI, and seven runs scored, giving fantasy managers hope that he can turn things around at the plate in the majors now that he's back. Raleigh pummeled baseballs as a first-time All-Star in 2025, when he led the league with 60 round-trippers and 125 RBI in 159 regular-season games. He has hit just .161 (26-for-161) with seven homers, 18 RBI, and a career-worst 31.5% strikeout rate so far in 2026.
