Raley was acquired by the Rays from the Dodgers on Friday in exchange for minor-league pitcher Tanner Dodson, Jeff Passan of ESPN.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Raley made his big-league debut for the Dodgers last season and had a .538 OPS in 72 plate appearances, and he'll now joined the Rays after being traded for third time in his career. He'll compete for a depth role in the outfield given Tampa Bay has an established outfield group with Randy Arozarena, Kevin Kiermaier, Manuel Margot and Austin Meadows.

Raley was not included on the Dodgers' roster for the NLDS, Eric Stephen of SBNation.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
The 27-year-old was on the roster for the NL Wild Card Game against the Cardinals and struck out as a pinch hitter. The Dodgers went heavy on bench bats for the one-game playoff, and Raley and Zach McKinstry are the odd men out for the NLDS with David Price and Walker Buehler on the roster.

Raley was added to the roster for Wednesday's NL Wild Card Game against the Cardinals.
EDGE Analysis
Raley spent most of the year at Triple-A Oklahoma City but will join the active roster for Wednesday's postseason game. He slashed .294/.393/.570 with 19 home runs, 69 RBI, 60 runs and eight stolen bases across 72 minor-league appearances this year and will likely be available off the bench against St. Louis.

Raley was optioned to Triple-A Oklahoma City on Sunday.
EDGE Analysis
Raley's latest stint on the big-league roster lasted just five days. He went 2-for-7 with a homer across three appearances. The Dodgers decided they needed an extra arm instead of an extra bat, so Andrew Vasquez was recalled to take his place on the roster.

Raley went 1-for-3 with a two-run home run Wednesday in the Dodgers' 10-5 loss to the Rockies.
EDGE Analysis
Raley has started in right field in both of the Dodgers' games since he was recalled from Triple-A Oklahoma City on Tuesday, going 2-for-7 between the contests. The 27-year-old looks like he'll have the chance to play regularly against right-handed pitching while Chris Taylor (neck) is day-to-day and while Cody Bellinger (rib) is on the injured list.

Raley was recalled from Triple-A Oklahoma City and is starting Tuesday's game against the Rockies in right field, Eric Stephen of SBNation.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Cody Bellinger was initially slated to start the contest, but he'll instead move to the injured list with a left rib fracture. Raley will take his spot on the 28-man roster and is set to enter Tuesday's lineup in right field, pushing Mookie Betts to center field. Raley went 10-for-59 with a double, homer and two RBI during his previous stints in the majors this season.

Raley went 3-for-5 with a pair of home runs and four total RBI for Triple-A Oklahoma City on Friday.
EDGE Analysis
Previous reports erroneously stated that Raley was placed on the 60-day IL in early September. The outfielder appears to have instead been shifted to -- and since returned from -- the COVID-19-related injured list. Raley's pair of long balls Friday pushed his season total in the minors to 15, which he has complemented with a .306/.408/.590 slash line and 58 RBI over 262 plate appearances. However, the outfielder was less successful in a 30-game stint with the Dodgers earlier in the campaign, batting just .169 with one homer across 59 at-bats.

Raley was placed on the 60-day injured list for an undisclosed reason Wednesday, Jorge Castillo of the Los Angeles Times reports.
EDGE Analysis
The organization didn't officially give a designation for Raley's move to the IL, but Castillo suggests that he is likely one of two players currently inactive for Triple-A Oklahoma City for Covid-19 reasons. Raley slashed .169/.246/.237 with one home run and 22 strikeouts across 65 plate appearances with the big club earlier this season. His transfer to the IL, along with that of Sheldon Neuse (undisclosed), allowed Los Angeles to add Jake Jewell and Ryan Meisinger to the 40-man roster.

Raley was optioned to Triple-A Oklahoma City on Saturday, Eric Stephen of SBNation.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Raley spent a week on the big-league roster during his latest stint with the team, going just 1-for-9 at the plate. He now owns a .483 OPS through 65 plate appearances in his rookie season.

Raley was recalled from Triple-A Oklahoma City on Saturday and will bat eighth and play left field against the Rockies.
EDGE Analysis
Raley gives the Dodgers an extra option in the outfield with Cody Bellinger (hamstring) and Mookie Betts (hip) both temporarily unavailable. He's shown very little in 56 trips to the plate at the big-league level this season, however, hitting just .180/.268/.260. Darien Nunez was optioned in a corresponding move.
