Raley (neck) took batting practice Monday at Tropicana Field, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

EDGE Analysis

Raley has been on the shelf for the last couple weeks with a cervical strain but is trying to convince the Rays he's feeling well enough to be carried on their Wild Card Series roster. The 29-year-old hit .247/.337/.497 with 17 home runs in 363 plate appearances against right-handed pitching in 2023 and, if healthy, would figure to see regular action versus righties in the postseason.

Raley (neck) is hoping to resume swinging a bat over the weekend, Tricia Whitaker of Bally Sports Sun reports.

EDGE Analysis

Raley is recovering from a cervical strain and can probably be ruled out for a return in the regular season, but there's a chance he might be ready for the Rays' first postseason series. The 29-year-old had delivered an .824 OPS with 19 homers and 14 steals in 118 games prior to being diagnosed with the injury last week.

The Rays placed Raley on the 10-day injured list Friday with a cervical strain, Ryan Bass of Bally Sports Sun reports.

EDGE Analysis

Raley hasn't started a game since colliding with a staff member during batting practice last Saturday, and he reported numbness in his arm following a pinch-hit appearance Wednesday. Raley's move to the injured list is retroactive to Thursday, so he will still be eligible to return for the final game of the season Oct. 1, but the Rays could also keep him on the shelf until the postseason. Top prospect Junior Caminero was selected from Double-A Montgomery to fill Raley's spot on the active roster.

Rays manager Kevin Cash said Thursday that Raley will miss some time due to a neck issue, Tricia Whitaker of Bally Sports Sun reports.

EDGE Analysis

It's not clear yet whether Raley will be placed on the injured list, but at the very least it sounds like he will be unavailable for at least several days. He had been set to receive an MRI after his left arm felt numb during a pinch-hit appearance Wednesday. That the Rays are now calling it a neck issue suggests it could be some sort of nerve problem. It's an injury which stems from a collision Raley was involved in during batting practice last Saturday, and he hasn't made a start since the incident.

Raley (arm) is absent from the lineup for Thursday's game against the Angels, Steve Carney of StPeteNine.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Raley had been set to undergo an MRI on his left arm after it went numb during a pinch-hitting appearance Wednesday. The results of that exam haven't been revealed, but Raley at the very least will miss his fifth straight start. He was sidelined previously with an undisclosed injury after colliding with a staff member pregame Saturday, although it's not clear whether the two issues are related.

Raley will get an MRI on his left arm Thursday, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

EDGE Analysis

Raley said his left arm went numb after making a pinch hit appearance in the seventh inning of Wednesday's game. He hadn't appeared in a game since Saturday when he collided with a team staff member during pregame batting practice, and the Rays believe Raley's recent arm problems are likely a result of the collision. More will be known regarding Raley's status when his MRI results come back Thursday, but fantasy managers should consider him day-to-day until then.

Raley (undisclosed) is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Angels.

EDGE Analysis

Raley hasn't seen the field since Friday after he collided with a team staff member while catching flyballs ahead of Saturday's contest. The 29-year-old may not have been in the lineup Wednesday regardless of the injury since lefty Reid Detmers is pitching for the Halos.

Raley (undisclosed) remains out of the lineup for Tuesday's game versus the Angels, Kristie Ackert of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

EDGE Analysis

He might not have started, anyway, since the Angels are throwing left-hander Patrick Sandoval. Raley has now been out of the lineup for three straight days after he collided with a staff member during pregame batting practice Saturday.

Raley (undisclosed) remains absent from the lineup Sunday versus the Orioles.

EDGE Analysis

Raley was scratched Saturday following a collision with a staff member during pregame batting practice. There's no word yet as to the exact nature of the injury. Jonathan Aranda will fill the DH role for the Rays on Sunday as Randy Arozarena, Manuel Margot and Josh Lowe start across the outfield.

Raley was scratched from Saturday's lineup against the Orioles, Jacob Calvin Meyer of The Baltimore Sun reports.

EDGE Analysis

Raley collided with a team staff member while catching flyballs during practice and has been scratched as a result. Josh Lowe entered the lineup in right field and will hit cleanup.
