Raley went 2-for-3 with an RBI sacrifice fly and a run in a win over the Pirates on Sunday.
EDGE Analysis
Raley's multi-hit effort was his third in the last eight games, a stretch where he boasts a .350 average and 1.167 OPS across 29 plate appearances. The offseason addition's .236/.307/.434 slash line on the season is below the standard he set a year ago with the Rays, but with 15 home runs and 39 RBI, Raley is closing in on surpassing the career bests of 19 homers and 49 RBI he generated in 2023.

Raley is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Tigers.
EDGE Analysis
The Tigers are expected to use a left-handed primary pitcher out of the bullpen (Bryan Sammons) for Wednesday's contest, so the lefty-hitting Raley will begin the contest on the bench. Even against traditional right-handed starters, Raley's opportunities could become more limited moving forward, especially while Julio Rodriguez remains limited to designated-hitter duties following his recent return from the injured list. With Rodriguez occupying the DH spot for now, Raley will have to vie with Justin Turner for at-bats at first base and with Dominic Canzone and Mitch Haniger for reps in right field.

Raley went 2-for-3 with a solo home run, a second run scored and a walk in Thursday's win over Detroit.
EDGE Analysis
Raley launched a solo homer off lefty Bryan Sammons in the bottom of the sixth inning to put the Mariners on the board. The outfielder then kick-started a rally in the bottom of the ninth, recording an infield single to open the frame before scoring on Mitch Haniger's walk-off double. Raley has homered in each of his last two games and in three of five contests to open the month of August. For the month he's slashing .333 (5-for-15) with four extra-base hits, seven RBI and four runs scored.

Raley went 1-for-3 with a solo home run in Tuesday's loss to the Tigers.
EDGE Analysis
Raley finally got the Mariners on the board with a solo home run in the fifth. It was his second home run over the last four games, a span during which he's compiled six RBI. Despite the recent production, Raley has been struggling at the dish for quite a while now, slashing .146/.247/.341 while striking out 32.3 percent of the time in 93 plate appearances since July 2. For the year, he's slashing .228/.288/.419 with 13 homers, 35 RBI, 38 runs, nine steals and an 11:99 BB:K in 314 plate appearances.

Raley entered Saturday's extra-inning win over the Phillies as a pinch hitter in the sixth inning and remained in the game as the designated hitter, going 1-for-2 with a two-run double.
EDGE Analysis
Raley originally had the night off, but he was called on to hit for Mitch Garver with the bases loaded in the sixth inning and the Mariners down 5-2. The slugger delivered in a critical moment, driving home Justin Turner and Jorge Polanco with his timely two-bagger to push his RBI total across the last two games to five. Raley has now reached safely in each of the last six games in which he's registered an official plate appearance, and he's laced three of his five hits during that span for extra bases.
