Raley went 1-for-3 with two stolen bases in Wednesday's extra-inning loss to Boston.
EDGE Analysis
Raley got the start in center field with Victor Robles (hip) sitting out, and he took advantage of the opportunity with a pair of thefts. It was just the second start in five contests for Raley, though that's largely a consequence of the Mariners facing a pair of southpaws during that span. Raley is batting just .188 with a 33.3 percent strikeout rate against lefties this season, so it stands to reason that he'll continue to be on the bench more often than not against left-handed starters.

Raley is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the White Sox, Shannon Drayer of SeattleSports.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
It's the second straight game on the bench for Raley following the acquisition of Randy Arozarena. Raley hasn't done much in July to retain a place in the lineup with a .488 OPS and 31.9 percent strikeout rate in 19 games, and his playing time could diminish down the stretch, especially if the Mariners make further additions ahead of Tuesday's trade deadline.

Raley is not in the starting lineup for Saturday's game against the White Sox.
EDGE Analysis
Raley will begin Saturday's game in the dugout after going 1-for-5 with a double and a strikeout in Friday's 10-0 win over the White Sox. Jason Vosler takes over as the designated hitter, batting sixth.

Raley went 1-for-4 with a stolen base in a loss to the Angels on Wednesday.
EDGE Analysis
Raley's hit was only his second over the last nine games, a nightmarish stretch of 29 plate appearances during which the outfielder has posted a 27.6 percent strikeout rate. Raley's steal was also his seventh of the season, putting him halfway to the career-best 14 he recorded with the Rays in 2023. The 29-year-old's recent struggles notwithstanding, Raley doesn't appear to be in danger of losing his grip on an everyday role with the Mariners now down both Dominic Canzone (thigh) and Julio Rodriguez (ankle) in the outfield.

Raley went 1-for-3 with a three-run homer and two runs scored in Sunday's 6-4 win over the Astros.
EDGE Analysis
Raley punished a first-pitch sweeper from Seth Martinez for a huge three-run blast to put the Mariners up 6-2 in the sixth inning. The homer was Raley's first hit since notching a single back on July 10 and he drove in his first RBI since July 6, which was the last time he'd homered before Sunday. The 29-year-old lefty is now slashing .235/.293/.420 with 11 homers, 29 RBI, 35 runs and a 10:88 BB:K in 277 plate appearances.

Raley went 2-for-4 with a solo home run in a loss to the Blue Jays on Saturday.
EDGE Analysis
Raley got the Mariners to within one run in the ninth with his 379-foot solo shot to right field, but Seattle was ultimately unable to force extra innings. The 29-year-old snapped a nine-game power drought with his blast, locking in a double-digit home-run total for the second straight season in the process.

Raley went 1-for-3 with a two-run double in a win over the Blue Jays on Friday.
EDGE Analysis
Raley's third-inning two-bagger -- only his second extra-base hit in the last nine games -- brought home Julio Rodriguez and Cal Raleigh with what would be the only runs of the night for Seattle. Raley's recent lack of pop has been accompanied by plenty of struggles making any type of contact, as he owns a bloated 39.4 percent strikeout rate and an accompanying lowly .161 average over that aforementioned nine-game span.
