Raley is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Guardians.
EDGE Analysis
The lefty-hitting Raley will put a five-game hitting streak on hold and take a seat with the Guardians expected to deploy a lefty primary pitcher (Kirk McCarty) in the series finale. The newly acquired David Peralta will enter the outfield in Raley's stead, but both players should have clear paths to steady playing time versus right-handed pitching.

Raley isn't starting Friday against the Guardians, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.
EDGE Analysis
Raley went 7-for-19 with a homer, two doubles, three RBI and two runs over the last six games but will get a day off Friday. Josh Lowe is shifting to right field while Roman Quinn starts in center.

Raley went 2-for-4 with a solo home run Wednesday against the Orioles.
EDGE Analysis
Raley has started five consecutive games, and he's managed to collect a hit in four of them. On Wednesday, he took Tyler Wells yard in the second inning to record his first homer of the season and third of his career. Raley should continue to get regular run thanks to the depleted Rays' outfield, and in a very small sample, he's shown the ability to take advantage.

Raley went 2-for-3 with two doubles and a walk Monday against the Orioles.
EDGE Analysis
Raley made his third consecutive start and has been in the lineup for three of Tampa Bay's first four games coming out of the All-Star break. He's made the case for more consistent playing time in the Rays' depleted outfield by reaching base six times and collecting two RBI across 12 plate appearances in that limited span.

Raley will serve as the Rays' designated hitter and No. 5 batter in Monday's game at Baltimore, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.
EDGE Analysis
He'll be making his third consecutive start after going 1-for-5 with a pair of walks and RBI in the past two contests while getting looks at first base and in left field. Raley looks as though he could see added opportunities while all of Wander Franco (wrist), Harold Ramirez (thumb), Kevin Kiermaier (hip) and Manuel Margot (knee) are stuck on the injured list.

Raley went 0-for-3 with a walk and a run scored Monday against the Red Sox.
EDGE Analysis
Raley was promoted to the majors after Kevin Kiermaier (hip) landed back on the injured list Sunday. Raley isn't likely to find himself in the starting lineup often, but he replaced Harold Ramirez in left field Monday. He maintained a .290/.385/.560 line across 118 plate appearances with Triple-A Durham prior to being recalled -- strong numbers even considering the positive offensive environment.

The Rays recalled Raley from Triple-A Durham on Sunday.
EDGE Analysis
Raley was summoned from Triple-A after fellow outfielder Kevin Kiermaier (hip) landed on the 10-day injured list Sunday. Josh Lowe and Brett Phillips are likely to serve as the primary replacements in center field for Kiermaier, so Raley will presumably be limited to a depth role while he's up with the big club for the second time this season.

The Rays optioned Raley to Triple-A Durham on Friday, Neil Solondz of the Rays Radio Network reports
EDGE Analysis
Raley appeared in two games and went 1-for-7 with an RBI and a run after being recalled June 21. He figures to rejoin the Rays at some point as a depth outfielder.

Raley was called up from Triple-A Durham on Tuesday.
EDGE Analysis
Raley is set to make his season debut with the Rays after being recalled from Triple-A on Tuesday. He'll fill one of the roster spots that were left when Manuel Margot (knee) and Kevin Kiermaier (hip) were placed on the 10-day injured list. The outfielder has produced a .299/.374/.575 slash line with seven homers, 25 RBI, 14 runs and two stolen based over 87 at-bats with Durham this season.

Raley was optioned to Triple-A Durham on Wednesday, Neil Solondz of the Rays Radio Network reports.
EDGE Analysis
Raley was traded from the Dodgers to the Rays in mid-March, but he was unable to land a spot on the Opening Day roster. He'll likely be a candidate to fill in as depth in the outfield at some point in 2022.
