Raley is not in the lineup for Thursday's game against the Cardinals.
EDGE Analysis
Harold Ramirez will take a turn in the DH role as Tampa Bay goes righty-heavy versus the Cardinals and left-hander Matthew Liberatore. Raley has been excellent overall this year, but he continues to sit against most southpaws.

Raley (knee) will start in right field and bat fifth in Sunday's game against the Tigers.
EDGE Analysis
Raley is back in action after he was on the bench for the Rays' previous two games with a bruised right knee. The fact that the Rays are deploying him in the outfield rather than at designated hitter suggests the team is comfortable with his health heading into a six-game week.

Raley exited Wednesday's game against the Yankees with a right knee contusion, Tricia Whitaker of Bally Sports Sun reports.
EDGE Analysis
Raley was forced out of the Rays' game Wednesday after fouling a ball off his right knee during the fourth inning, but luckily didn't suffer any severe damage. Tampa Bay has an off day Thursday which will give Raley extra time to heal, but it's possible he still misses a game or two.

Raley was removed from Wednesday's game against the Yankees with an apparent knee injury, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.
EDGE Analysis
Raley fouled a ball off his right knee during his during the fourth inning. He was able to finish the at-bat but was replaced in left field by Josh Lowe. The Rays will take a look at Raley and should provide more updates relatively soon, but he should be considered day-to-day for the time being.

Raley is not in Saturday's lineup against the Astros, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.
EDGE Analysis
The Rays were slated to face three righties this weekend, but they will still find opportunities for some of their right-handed bench bats. Harold Ramirez is starting at designated hitter against righty Hunter Brown. Raley is hitting .185 with zero home runs and a 32.4 percent strikeout rate in his last 10 games.

Raley is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Orioles.
EDGE Analysis
The lefty-hitting Raley has been a mainstay in the lineup against right-handed pitching for several weeks now, but he'll take a seat versus Orioles righty Tyler Wells in the series finale. With Raley on the bench, Harold Ramirez will get a chance to start at designated hitter Sunday despite not having the platoon advantage in his favor.

Raley went 4-for-8 with three RBI and a stolen base over both games of Saturday's doubleheader sweep of Kansas City.
EDGE Analysis
Raley collected two hits in each contest. Though all four of his base knocks went for a single, the first baseman knocked in three of his team's 10 total runs across the pair of victories. Raley continues to thrive in his first full major-league campaign, posting a .279/.356/.571 slash line, 15 homers, 39 RBI, 45 runs and 10 steals over 248 plate appearances.

Raley is not in the lineup for Friday's contest against Atlanta, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.
EDGE Analysis
It's one of the rare instances when Raley is not starting when the opposition has a right-hander (in this case Charlie Morton) on the mound. Harold Ramirez will be the designated hitter.

Raley isn't in the Rays' lineup Thursday against the Phillies.
EDGE Analysis
Southpaw Cristopher Sanchez will start on the mound Thursday for the Phillies, meaning the left-handed bat of Raley will take a seat to begin the game. Harold Ramirez will take over as Tampa Bay's designated hitter while Yandy Diaz mans first base.
