Raley went 2-for-5 with a three-run home run during Saturday's 15-7 win over the Tigers.
EDGE Analysis
Raley launched his first home run since June 23 against the Twins, a big three-run homer that busted the game open in the third. With one game to go before the All-Star break, the 30-year-old is up to four home runs and 17 RBI on the year, and he is slashing .230/.347/.373.

Raley is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Royals.
EDGE Analysis
The left-handed-hitting Raley has gotten on base at a .364 clip and has provided three extra-base hits in eight games since returning from the injured list, but he'll nonetheless hit the bench for the second time in the Mariners' last five matchups with a right-handed pitcher (Michael Wacha). Raley still looks to be in good position to hold down a strong-side platoon role for the long haul, but he'll give way at first base Monday to Donovan Solano, who has made it difficult on the Mariners to take his bat out of the lineup. Since June 8, Solano has hit safely in 11 of 14 games while slashing .413/.449/.630 overall.

Raley is out of the lineup for Thursday's game against the Twins.
EDGE Analysis
The left-handed-hitting Raley had started in each of the Mariners' last three games, but for the second time since he was activated from the injured list last Friday, he'll take a seat against a right-handed starting pitcher (Simeon Woods Richardson). Raley still appears likely to see the lion's share of playing time at first base versus righties after the Mariners recently cut Rowdy Tellez, but the hot-hitting Donovan Solano -- who has largely served as a short-side platoon player this season -- has made a strong case of late for earning more opportunities. Solano will get the nod at first base Thursday after slashing .485/.514/.788 with three home runs and 13 RBI over his last 10 games.

Raley went 1-for-2 with a three-run homer and a hit-by-pitch in Monday's victory over the Twins.
EDGE Analysis
Raley played first base and took Bailey Ober deep in the third inning to notch his third homer of the season. He was later lifted from the game in favor of Dylan Moore when Minnesota brought in a lefty, Joey Wentz, to relieve Ober. Raley currently fills the strong side of a platoon and likely will continue to do so thanks to a career .185 average (29-for-157) against southpaws. Through 95 plate appearances this season, the 30-year-old is slashing .247/.379/.403 with 13 RBI and 12 runs scored.

Raley is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Cubs.
EDGE Analysis
Raley has gone 4-for-7 with a double, two RBI and a run in his first two games back from an oblique strain, but he'll hit the bench Sunday even though Chicago is starting righty Colin Rea. Donovan Solano will receive another start at first base while Dominic Canzone starts in right.

Raley went 3-for-4 with two RBI and one run scored in Saturday's 10-7 loss against the Cubs.
EDGE Analysis
Raley was highly productive in just his second game back after recovering from an oblique strain. The left-handed hitter has excelled at reaching base with a .370 OBP but hasn't shown much power yet in 2025, slugging just .360 with five extra-base hits (three doubles, two home runs) over 75 at-bats -- a far cry from the 41 long balls he launched over 761 ABs in 2023-24.

The Mariners activated Raley (oblique) from the 10-day injured list Friday, Daniel Kramer of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Raley wound up missing nearly two months of action with an oblique strain but is ready to go after a brief rehab assignment with Triple-A Tacoma. With Rowdy Tellez being designated for assignment, Raley should see most of his playing time at first base for the Mariners. The left-handed-hitting Raley is not in the lineup for Friday's game versus the Cubs, as southpaw Matthew Boyd will toe the slab for Chicago.

Raley's (oblique) activation from the 10-day injured list is considered imminent, and he could be reinstated ahead of this weekend's series against the Cubs, Adam Jude of The Seattle Times reports.
EDGE Analysis
Raley has looked ready to return in five rehab games with Triple-A Tacoma, going 7-for-19 with one home run and one double. The Mariners had planned to delay the left-handed-hitting Raley's activation until at least Saturday since they were scheduled to face southpaw Matthew Boyd. However, the Cubs' rotation is somewhat in flux now after a rainout Wednesday, so Raley could be back Friday if Chicago starts righty Cade Horton that day. Raley is likely to see most of his playing time in right field, although he could see some action at first base and designated hitter, as well. He's been out since late April with a right oblique strain.

Raley (oblique) will begin a rehab assignment at Triple-A Tacoma on Thursday, Adam Jude of The Seattle Times reports.
EDGE Analysis
A right oblique strain has kept Raley sidelined since the end of April. After nearly a month and a half of recovery, the 30-year-old slugger has been cleared to return to a competitive environment. The Mariners haven't yet specified how long his rehab assignment will be, but he figures to have a good chance to return as Seattle's primary right fielder before the end of June.

Raley (oblique) hopes to begin a minor-league rehab assignment early next week, Adam Jude of The Seattle Times reports.
EDGE Analysis
Raley felt good after taking max-effort swings Wednesday for the first time since going on the injured list, which looks to be one of his final steps before returning to game action on an assignment. The 30-year-old slugger has been recuperating from a right oblique strain since the end of April, and he's tracking toward rejoining the Mariners at some point in mid-to-late June. Seattle is using a combination of Leody Taveras and Dylan Moore in right field in Raley's absence, while Rowdy Tellez and Donovan Solano have worked in a platoon at first base.
