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 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.

Raley went 2-for-3 with a solo homer and an additional run scored in Thursday's victory over the Diamondbacks.
EDGE Analysis
Raley got the scoring started with a solo shot off Brandon Pfaadt in the first inning. It's Raley's 13th homer of the year, though just his third in his last 25 games. Still, the 28-year-old outfielder has been productive in that span -- he's gone 21-for-62 (.339) since the start of June. Raley's now slashing an impressive .276/.354/.573 with 40 runs scored, 30 RBI and eight stolen bases through 210 plate appearances this season.
