Raley went 2-for-3 with a solo homer and an additional run scored in Thursday's 4-3 win over the Orioles.
EDGE Analysis
The 28-year-old reached on an infield single and scored Tampa Bay's first run in the third before blasting a seventh-inning solo shot, which ultimately proved to be the difference-maker Thursday. The long ball snapped Raley's 15-game homerless drought, during which he hit just .196 and struck out in 32.7 percent of his at-bats. Raley now owns a .251/.336/.494 slash line with 19 home runs, 49 RBI, 56 runs and 14 steals across 116 games on the campaign.

Raley is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Red Sox.
EDGE Analysis
Even though the right-handed Kutter Crawford is on the hill for Boston, the lefty-hitting Raley will cede his spot in the lineup to Jonathan Aranda, who gets the nod as the Rays' designated hitter. Over his last 15 games, Raley has mustered a .625 OPS while striking out at a 43.9 percent clip.

Raley went 1-for-4 with a double and a run scored Saturday against the Yankees.
EDGE Analysis
Raley has popped three home runs in his last 10 games and has an outstanding .262 ISO on the season. However, he produced in a different way Saturday by swiping his 13th base of the campaign on 15 attempts. It's been a breakout year for Raley, who should maintain a large-side platoon role at DH for the final five weeks of the regular season.
