Raley is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Rangers.

EDGE Analysis

Though he'll take a seat against Rangers southpaw Martin Perez, the lefty-hitting Raley may have established himself as a mainstay in the lineup versus right-handed pitching at this point. He's started in each of the Rays' last six matchups with righties, going 7-for-21 with six extra-base hits, six runs and five RBI during that stretch.

Raley went 2-for-3 with a triple, a homer, two RBI and two runs scored in Tuesday's 7-0 win over the Twins.

EDGE Analysis

Raley scored the game's first run in the fourth inning after leading off with his first career triple. He'd then break the game open in the fifth, crushing a 450-foot, two-run homer off Louie Varland to give Tampa Bay a 5-0 lead. Raley is now 5-for-11 with four extra-base hits in his last three games. He's slashing an impressive .261/.355/.590 with 11 homers, 27 runs scored, 24 RBI and seven stolen bases through 155 plate appearances this season.

Raley (side) is hitting sixth and playing first base against the Red Sox on Sunday.

EDGE Analysis

Raley was scratched from the lineup in the first game of a doubleheader against Boston on Saturday, and he didn't return for the second game, as well. The 28-year-old is feeling well enough to hit in the middle of the Tampa Bay lineup versus the Red Sox on Sunday, and he should be good to go for the Rays' upcoming slate.

Raley (side) will not start the second game of Saturday's doubleheader against Boston, Ryan Bass of Bally Sports Sun reports.

EDGE Analysis

Raley was scratched from the lineup for the afternoon game due to side soreness, and while initial reports indicated that he'd be available for the nightcap, he won't be involved from the start. Instead, Randy Arozarena will rest his legs in the designated hitter spot while Harold Ramirez starts in left field.

Raley (side/stomach) is expected to play in the second half of Saturday's doubleheader versus the Red Sox, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

EDGE Analysis

Raley was scratched from the Rays' lineup for the early tilt at Fenway Park after feeling something in his right side or stomach, but it's not considered a serious concern. Harold Ramirez is handling DH duties and batting fifth to open the twin-bill in Boston.

Raley was scratched from the first game of Saturday's doubleheader against the Red Sox, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

EDGE Analysis

It's unclear why Raley was taken out of the lineup, but the Rays should provide more information shortly. Harold Ramirez will enter as Tampa Bay's designated hitter instead.

Raley is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Cubs, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

EDGE Analysis

The lefty-hitting Raley started each of the past three games, but he'll head to the bench for the series finale while southpaw Justin Steele toes the rubber for Chicago. Though he doesn't have a direct path to a regular lineup spot at any one position, Raley's ability to play first base and the corner outfield or to serve as a designated hitter should afford him fairly steady playing time while he's wielding a hot bat.

Raley went 2-for-3 with a double, two RBI, three runs scored and a steal in Sunday's 11-10 victory over the Dodgers.

EDGE Analysis

The 6-foot-4, 235-pound Raley has emerged as an unlikely source of steals -- he's now 7-for-7 on stolen base attempts, all coming in his last 12 games. Raley has had a productive season with the bat as well. He's now slashing .254/.346/.568 with 10 homers, 21 RBI and 23 runs scored through 136 plate appearances while playing the long side of a platoon in Tampa.

Raley will start in left field and bat eighth in Sunday's game against the Dodgers.

EDGE Analysis

Raley's path to playing time at first base is more muddled now that Yandy Diaz has returned to the team following a brief absence due to a personal matter, but Raley could continue to see semi-frequent starts as a fourth outfielder or designated hitter. The 28-year-old -- who has posted an .862 OPS while chipping in six stolen bases thus far in May -- will spell a resting Randy Arozarena in left field in Sunday's series finale.

Raley went 0-for-2 with two walks, two runs scored and two stolen bases Thursday against the Blue Jays.

EDGE Analysis

Raley didn't have a big game at first glance, though his pair of stolen bases gives him six on the campaign. He entered the season having failed to even attempt a stolen base across 144 career plate appearances. Raley is also a significant source of power production with 10 home runs and is a regular in the Rays' lineup against right-handed pitchers.
