The hard-hitting backstop's pair of round trippers both came at critical times as well, with his eighth-inning shot to right center plating Jarred Kelenic to bring Seattle within a run and his 408-foot blast to right in the 10th snapping an 8-8 tie and eventually proving to be the game-winning hit. Raleigh pushed his OPS over the .800 threshold (.801) with Sunday's power breakout, and he now has eight RBI in the last nine contests.

Raleigh went 2-for-4 with a home run and two RBI in Friday's 3-2 loss to the Blue Jays.

Raleigh's 375-foot shot to right with Ty France aboard in the second inning opened the scoring on the afternoon.

Raleigh went 2-for-4 with a double, a run and an RBI in Tuesday's 11-2 win over the Angels.

Raleigh was one of six Mariners batters who finished the night with exactly two hits as the team put an end to a four-game losing streak. After leading all catchers in baseball with 27 home runs in 2022, Raleigh has yet to leave the yard through the first six games of the season, but his power hasn't completely gone missing. He's already accrued three doubles, and he's also done well to limit his punchouts early on (three in 18 plate appearances) after striking out at a 29.4 percent clip a season ago.

Raleigh is absent from the Mariners' lineup for Monday's game versus the Angels.

Raleigh went 2-for-5 with a two-run double in an extra-inning loss to the Guardians on Sunday.

The hard-hitting backstop's third-inning double erased an early 3-2 deficit by plating Ty France and Eugenio Suarez. Raleigh compiled four RBI over the four-game season-opening set, and the fact he already has two doubles is par for the course considering his early-career penchant for making consistently hard contact.

Raleigh will sit Saturday against Cleveland.

Raleigh started the first two games of the season behind the plate, going 2-for-8 with a two-RBI double. Tom Murphy will take over at catcher Sunday.

Raleigh went 1-for-4 with a two-run double in the Mariners' loss to the Guardians on Friday.

The slugging backstop was one of the few bright spots on the night for the Mariners, knocking in Kolten Wong and Ty France with his third-inning double to knot the game at 3-3. The fact Raleigh already has an extra-base knock on the board in 2023 is par for the course, considering the 26-year-old came into the season having recorded at least a double on 62 of his first 103 major-league hits.

Raleigh is hitting .313 (5-for-16) with three doubles, one triple, two RBI and two runs across six Cactus League games.

The 26-year-old has made plenty of hard contact as that batting line corroborates, carrying over a favorable pattern that has been evident during Raleigh's first two big-league stints. The slugging backstop has impressively laced 62 of his 103 career big-league knocks to date for extra bases, and if he can pare down 2022's bloated 29.4 percent strikeout rate, he could certainly give himself a good chance of boosting last season's unsightly .211 average and .284 on-base percentage.

Raleigh (thumb) took live batting practice against Mariners reliever Diego Castillo on Monday and appears to be fully healthy for spring training, Ryan Divish of The Seattle Times reports.

Raleigh had already been catching bullpen sessions during the first couple weeks of camp in Arizona, but his ability to add batting practice to his workout regimen suggests that he's been cleared for full baseball activities after undergoing surgery in the fall to address a broken left thumb and a torn ligament in his hand. Coming off a 2022 campaign in which he hit just .211 but led all backstops with 27 home runs, Raleigh is likely to be drafted as a starting catcher in nearly every fantasy league.

Raleigh (thumb) told reporters Wednesday that he had no issues during a bullpen session with Marco Gonzales, Curtis Crabtree of FOX 13 Seattle reports.

Raleigh did mention the he does have more rehab and strengthening to do, but it's obviously a positive sign that he was able to receive as a backstop without trouble. The switch-hitting backstop underwent surgery after the season, and played through the end of the year and postseason while dealing with the broken thumb and torn ligament in his left hand. At this point, it seems very likely Raleigh will be ready for the start of the 2023 campaign.

Raleigh has been playing through a broken thumb and torn ligament in his left hand, Adam Jude of the Seattle Times reports.

After the Mariners were eliminated from the postseason, Raleigh disclosed that he played through the injuries for over a month. Though there's been no official word, he will likely need surgery this offseason to repair the issues.

Raleigh went 3-for-5 with a solo home run in a 9-6 win in Game 2 of Tuesday's doubleheader.

Raleigh started at DH in the nightcap and delivered his second three-hit game of the season, singling in the third and sixth and cracking a solo shot in the fifth. The long ball is the backstop's 27th of the campaign as four of his last eight hits have left the yard. Raleigh's .278 isolated power would rank fourth in MLB if he had enough at-bats to qualify.

Raleigh (thumb) is starting behind the plate and batting fifth Tuesday against the Rangers.

Raleigh was removed from Sunday's loss to the Royals after aggravating his thumb injury while catching, Shannon Drayer of Seattle Sports 710 AM reports.

Raleigh recently missed four games due to his thumb injury, and the thumb was hit while catching in the bottom of the sixth inning.

He should tentatively be considered day-to-day ahead of Tuesday's series opener against the Rangers.

Raleigh went 2-for-3 with a home run, a double and three total RBI in Saturday's 6-5 win against Kansas City.

He came through in the clutch again in the ninth inning, knocking a run-scoring double to plate the winning run. Raleigh leads all major-league catchers with 25 homers on the season and ranks sixth at the position with 59 RBI.

Raleigh will be on the bench Saturday against the Royals.

Raleigh is a switch-hitter, but he's been on the bench against the last four lefties the Mariners have faced, including Saturday's starter Kris Bubic. Curt Casali will get the nod behind the plate.

Raleigh went 1-for-3 with a solo home run, a walk and two strikeouts in a 5-1 loss to the Royals on Friday.

Raleigh's performance at the plate was like a microcosm of his entire season: plenty of strikeouts with combined with above average power. The 25-year-old catcher has the second-most home runs hit from the position this year behind only Daulton Varsho. However, he also came into Friday night's game with an awful strikeout rate of 28.8%.

Raleigh (thumb) started and played a full game at catcher in a loss to the Athletics on Wednesday, going 0-for-2 with a walk.

The backstop had missed four of the previous five games with his thumb injury, so his ability to put in a full game Wednesday was encouraging. Raleigh has now reached safely in three of his past four games, but his power (42 extra-base hits, including 23 home runs) has led to a .465 slugging percentage that's helped offset a forgettable .203 average and .278 on-base percentage.

Raleigh (thumb) is starting behind the plate and batting sixth Wednesday against the A's.

Raleigh sat out four of the past five games due to the lingering thumb issue but will rejoin the lineup for Wednesday's matchup in Oakland. The 25-year-old is 2-for-19 with two walks, a run and 10 strikeouts in his past six contests.

Mariners manager Scott Servais confirmed that Raleigh's absence from the lineup for Monday's series finale with the Angels is related to persistent soreness in the catcher's jammed left thumb, Corey Brock of The Athletic reports.

Raleigh missed two games due to the issue before returning to action for Saturday's 2-1 win, and though he played the full contest, he'll be back on the bench Monday for the second straight game. Though Servais didn't officially rule Raleigh out for Tuesday's series opener in Oakland, Brock speculates that the young backstop won't be available. Curt Casali is replacing Raleigh behind the plate in Monday's contest.

Curt Casali checks in for Raleigh behind the dish.

Raleigh (thumb) went 1-for-3 with a walk in a loss to the Angels on Saturday.

Raleigh needed just one game off to recover from his jammed left thumb, reentering the lineup Saturday with a productive effort. The 25-year-old is putting together a serviceable September, posting a middling .243 average but complementing it with a .912 OPS thanks in large part to five extra-base hits (one double, four home runs) across 41 plate appearances.

Raleigh (thumb) is starting Saturday against the Angels.

He struck out in that at-bat, but redemption came in the 11th when he added insurance runs with his 22nd homer of the campaign. The catcher is on a remarkable power surge, as four of his last five hits over his last five games have left the yard. He's up to a .208/.281/.484 slash line with 52 RBI, 38 runs scored and a stolen base through 100 contests this year.

Raleigh is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Guardians.

The hot-hitting backstop followed it up with his 17th two-bagger of the season and 36th extra-base hit overall in the ninth, only to be left stranded by Julio Rodriguez and Ty France to end the game. Factoring in Sunday's production, Raleigh now boasts a .306 average and 1.069 OPS across the 40 plate appearances encompassing his last 11 games.

Raleigh is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Athletics.

He'll be getting a breather for the series finale in Oakland, paving the way for Curt Casali to pick up a turn behind the plate. Raleigh is hitting just .208 in August, but he's maintained value for fantasy managers by slugging four home runs in 15 games on the month.

Raleigh's homer came in the second inning and increased Seattle's lead to 3-0. This was his 15th home run of the year and his first hit since July 28. The catcher has spent most of this season hitting below the Mendoza line, but finished July with a .207 batting average. Raleigh is batting .204 on the season after two games in August. Although he may not hit for a high average, he averages one home run per week, so he does present some fantasy baseball value.

Raleigh isn't in the lineup Saturday against Houston.

Raleigh started the last two games and went 2-for-8 with a double and three strikeouts. Luis Torrens will take over behind the plate and bat ninth.

Raleigh isn't starting Wednesday against the Rangers.

Raleigh went 2-for-4 with an RBI single in a win over the Rangers on Monday.

The young backstop mustered one of two multi-hit efforts on the night for the Mariners, his third such tally of July. Raleigh's production brought his average back up over the Mendoza Line to .205, and he's generated a solid .250/.342/.438 slash line across the 38 plate appearances he's logged over his last 10 games while reaching safely in seven of those contests.

Raleigh will sit Sunday versus the Astros.

Raleigh has found the power stroke in 2022, going deep 13 times over the first half of the season. The total ranks him third amongst catchers, behind only Will Smith and Willson Contreras. Raleigh's .469 SLG is the redeeming factor in a slash line which otherwise includes a .206 AVG and .286 OBP.

Raleigh went 2-for-3 with two walks and two runs in a win over the Rangers on Friday.

The slugging backstop didn't garner any extra-base hits as he's usually prone to do, but Raleigh still came through with a rewarding performance for fantasy managers.

Raleigh is out of the lineup for the second game of Wednesday's doubleheader in Washington.

Raleigh will get a breather after he caught all nine innings of the Mariners' 6-4 win in Game 1 while going 1-for-4 with a solo home run, his 12th of the season. Luis Torrens will check in behind the dish for Raleigh in the nightcap.

Raleigh will sit Friday against Toronto.

The Mariners rotated their three catchers heavily early in the season, but Raleigh has handled a very heavy workload lately with Luis Torrens and Tom Murphy both out with shoulder injuries. Raleigh started nine of the last 10 games heading into Friday's contest, but it will be Andrew Knapp behind the plate Friday.

Raleigh went 2-for-4 with a home run and three total RBI in an 8-3 win over Toronto on Thursday.

Raleigh singled to plate a run in the first inning and followed with a two-run homer to right field in the third. With the performance, he upped his season slash line to .202/.277/.470. The batting average isn't great, but Raleigh is tied for fifth among backstops with 11 homers and has driven in 30 runs in just 55 games.

Raleigh went 1-for-5 with an RBI fielder's choice and a three-run double in a win over the Padres on Monday.

Raleigh's stat line was certainly a lopsided one in a positive way, with the backstop parlaying yet another extra-base hit into a clutch three-run double in the sixth inning. The 25-year-old is still chasing the Mendoza Line with a .194 average, but his solid .456 slugging percentage is the byproduct of having laced 21 of his 31 hits for extra bases.

Raleigh will sit Friday against Oakland, Ryan Divish of The Seattle Times reports.

Raleigh had a double and a triple in Thursday's series opener, but he'll hit the bench here after starting four straight games behind the plate. Andrew Knapp will make his first start as a Mariner in his place.

Raleigh went 2-for-4 with a double, a two-run triple and a run in a win over the Athletics on Thursday.

The young backstop continued to display his season-long penchant for squaring up on the ball Thursday, racking up his 18th and 19th extra-base hits of the campaign. Considering Raleigh has just 29 hits overall and still carries a .199 average, 283 on-base percentage and 30.1 percent strikeout rate, it's clear the 25-year-old is a true feast-or-famine option.

Raleigh went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Monday's loss to the Orioles.

Baltimore starter Tyler Wells had a perfect game going for 4.2 innings Monday before Raleigh broke it up with his solo shot to right field. The homer was his 10th of the season, which is tied for second-most among American League catchers. Raleigh's .199 average and 30.3 percent strikeout rate aren't ideal, but he's gained fantasy relevance thanks to his power stroke.

Raleigh is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Angels.

Raleigh will get a routine breather after he started behind the plate in six of the past seven games. Luis Torrens will spell Raleigh, who has solidified himself as Seattle's clear No. 1 catcher by producing an .825 OPS in 35 games since being called up from Triple-A Tacoma on May 7.

Raleigh went 3-for-4 with two doubles and a walk in Saturday's 5-3 win over the Angels.

Raleigh was on base more than any Mariner, but he wasn't directly involved in any run-scoring plays. He's gone 8-for-24 (.333) with two home runs and four doubles across his last eight games, solidifying his role as the No. 1 catcher. The 25-year-old is slashing .198/.293/.458 with nine homers, 19 RBI, 15 runs scored and seven doubles in 44 contests overall, though he's been steadily trending upwards since late May.

Raleigh is out of the lineup for Thursday's game against the Athletics.

Luis Torrens will get the nod behind the dish for the day game after Raleigh started at catcher in each of the Mariners' previous four contests. Raleigh went 1-for-4 with his ninth home run of the season, a walk and an additional run in Wednesday's 9-0 triumph.

Raleigh went 1-for-4 with a solo home run, an additional run scored and a walk in Wednesday's 9-0 win over the Athletics.

Raleigh went yard in the second inning. Five of the catcher's nine homers this year have come in June, where he's batting a solid (.246) in 18 contests. He's posted a .187/.279/.447 slash line with 19 RBI and 15 runs scored in 42 games overall, though his strong play of late has made him the Mariners' primary catcher over Luis Torrens.

Raleigh, who went 1-for-1 with a double and two walks in a win over the Athletics on Tuesday, is hitting .245 with four doubles, four home runs, nine RBI, seven walks, a hit by pitch and six runs across 17 games in June.

The young backstop still carries an abysmal .185 average and .274 on-base percentage, but he has a serviceable .429 slugging percentage thanks to 13 of his 22 hits having gone for extra bases. Raleigh had only one double-digit homer season in the minors -- he tallied 22 round trippers for High-A Modesto back in 2019 -- yet he's displayed a knack for consistently impactful contact by lacing over 40.0 percent of his hits for extra bases in six professional stops, including his two big-league stints thus far.

Raleigh will sit for the first half of Saturday's doubleheader against the Angels.

Raleigh was never going to start both halves of the twin bill despite the fact that he owns a .967 OPS in his last 12 games. Luis Torrens starts behind the plate in Game 1, but Raleigh should return for Game 2.

Raleigh went 2-for-4 with a solo home run, a double and an additional run scored in Friday's 8-1 win over the Angels.

Raleigh's second-inning homer was ultimately all the Mariners needed to get the win Friday. The catcher is now 11-for-45 (.244) with four homers, nine RBI and six runs through 13 games in June as he maintains the starting role behind the dish. He's up to a .180/.252/.432 slash line with eight homers, 18 RBI, 13 runs and four doubles across 123 plate appearances overall.

Raleigh isn't starting Wednesday against the Twins.

Raleigh went 2-for-8 with a double and a strikeout over the last two games and will get a breather in Wednesday's series finale against the Twins. Luis Torrens is starting behind the plate and batting seventh.

Raleigh will be on the bench Sunday against the Red Sox.

The Mariners didn't have a clear starting catcher for the early part of the season, but Raleigh has a firm grip on the role now. His off day Sunday follows five straight starts. Luis Torrens will take over behind the plate.

Raleigh went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run in a win over the Astros on Wednesday.

Raleigh uncorked his seventh long ball of the season at a particularly timely juncture, as his 386-foot blast to right center in the fourth inning with Abraham Toro aboard knotted the game at 3-3. The young backstop still carries an abysmal .167 average and .232 on-base percentage for the season, but he's now left the yard three times in his last six games while producing a .300/.333/.800 slash line in that sample of 21 plate appearances.

Raleigh went 2-for-4 with a home run and four RBI in Monday's 7-4 win against the Astros.

Raleigh broke a 1-1 tie in the second inning with a three-run blast to right field. Houston tied the score in the bottom of that frame, but Raleigh again unknotted things with his run-scoring single in the fourth. This was the second time in his past six games that the backstop has compiled multiple RBI. Raleigh is batting only .169 on the season, but his bat has been coming alive of late. He's hitting .270 (10-for-37) with three homers, 10 RBI and eight runs over his past 10 games despite notching a 0:14 BB:K.

Raleigh went 2-for-3 with a solo home run and a double in Friday's 4-3 win over the Rangers.

Raleigh was the only Mariner to record multiple hits against Dane Dunning and two Rangers relievers. In the fifth inning, Raleigh swatted his fifth homer of the year. Both of the catcher's multi-hit efforts this season have come in his last seven contests. He's still batting a poor .151/.222/.384 with 10 RBI, eight runs scored and two doubles through 81 plate appearances while sharing time with Luis Torrens behind the dish with Tom Murphy (shoulder) on the injured list.

Raleigh isn't starting Thursday against the Orioles.

Raleigh started in the last two games and went 1-for-8 with three RBI, a run and two strikeouts. Luis Torrens will take over behind the dish and bat ninth Thursday.

Raleigh went 1-for-4 with an RBI sacrifice fly, a two-run single and a run in a win over the Orioles on Tuesday.

The light-hitting backstop made plenty of noise out of the bottom of the order with his third multi-RBI effort of the season, all which have come from May 15 onward. His eventful night notwithstanding, Raleigh is still carrying an abysmal .136/.216/.333 slash line for the season, although five of his nine hits have gone for extra bases.

Raleigh is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Astros, Ryan Divish of The Seattle Times reports.

Raleigh started the first two games against Houston and will head to the bench for the series finale after going 1-for-8 with a double, a run and four strikeouts. Luis Torrens will work behind the plate Sunday.

Raleigh isn't starting Wednesday against the Athletics.

Raleigh started in the last three games and went 3-for-11 with a homer, two runs, two RBI and seven strikeouts. Luis Torrens will start behind the dish and bat ninth Wednesday.

Raleigh went 2-for-4 with a two-run home run in a win over the Athletics on Monday.

Raleigh drew the start at catcher while Luis Torrens shifted to designated hitter, and the former enjoyed some rare offensive success out of the bottom of the order. The 25-year-old backstop continues to find success at the plate difficult to come by at the big-league level despite consistent production at Triple-A Tacoma, but four of his six hits with the Mariners across 57 plate appearances have left the yard.

Raleigh is out of the lineup for Thursday's game against the Red Sox.

Raleigh, who popped his third home run of the season in Wednesday's 5-1 win over Toronto, will retreat to the bench as the Mariners kick off a four-game series in Boston. The Mariners called Raleigh up from Triple-A Tacoma when Tom Murphy (shoulder) was placed on the 10-day injured list May 7, but Raleigh could find himself back in the minors by the weekend. Murphy appears on track to return from the IL at some point during the series in Boston, and with Luis Torrens also on hand, the Mariners may not have the luxury of keeping Raleigh around as a third catcher.

Raleigh went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run Sunday in the Mariners' 8-7 win over the Mets.

Raleigh's second home run of the season put an end to a 2-for-33 slump at the dish for the young backstop, who is now slashing .086/.200/.257 with a 37.5 percent strikeout rate. He still looks to be behind Luis Torrens on the depth chart at catcher.

Raleigh was recalled from Triple-A Tacoma on Saturday.

Raleigh hit just .083 in nine games with the Mariners early in the year, and he was sent to Tacoma in late April. He slashed .286/.333/..464 with a homer, two doubles, four runs and four RBI with the minor-league club and will rejoin Seattle after Tom Murphy (shoulder) was placed on the 10-day injured list. Raleigh will likely split time with Luis Torrens behind the dish.

The Mariners optioned Raleigh to Triple-A Tacoma on Thursday.

Though Raleigh received the start behind the dish Opening Day, he's essentially been part of a three-way timeshare at catcher with Tom Murphy and Luis Torrens throughout the season. He didn't make consecutive starts over any of the Mariners' first 18 contests of the season, appearing in nine games in total while going 2-for-24 with a 32.1 percent strikeout rate. Raleigh should receive more consistent playing time at Tacoma, while his demotion clears the way for both Murphy and Torrens to take on larger roles at catcher at the big-league level.

Raleigh is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Rays.

Raleigh and Tom Murphy will continue their pattern of alternating turns behind the plate, as both backstops have now drawn three starts at catcher apiece over the Mariners' last six games. The recent return of Luis Torrens from the COVID-19 injured list gives Seattle yet another option at catcher, so Raleigh could be more likely to see his playing time decrease than grow moving forward.

Raleigh isn't starting Thursday's game against the Rangers.

The Mariners haven't utilized a primary catcher early in the year, and Raleigh will retreat to the bench for the third time in the last four games. Tom Murphy will take over behind the plate and bat sixth.

Raleigh is not in the lineup for Tuesday's game against Texas.

Raleigh started behind the plate on Opening Day, but it doesn't appear as though the Mariners have a true starting catcher this season. Through 11 games, he's started four times, while Tuesday's starter Tom Murphy has also started four games. Luis Torrens has picked up the remaining three starts and has an additional start as a designated hitter.

Raleigh is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Astros.

Seattle will continue to utilize a three-man rotation behind the plate, with Luis Torrens receiving the starting nod Sunday. However, Raleigh leads the team with four starts and has an .812 OPS early in the campaign.

Raleigh isn't starting Friday's game against the Astros.

The Mariners have had a timeshare behind the dish early in the season, and Raleigh will be on the bench for the third time in the last four games. Tom Murphy will start at catcher and bat ninth.

Raleigh went 1-for-3 with a solo home run and a walk during Thursday's 5-1 win over the White Sox.

Raleigh extended Seattle's lead to 3-1 with a solo blast in the top of the seventh inning off White Sox reliever Bennett Sousa. Raleigh appears to be a timeshare with Luis Torrens and Tom Murphy, but Raleigh in the first catcher of the group to reach three starts. Through the first week of the season, Raleigh is 2-for-10 with three walks and three strikeouts.

Raleigh is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the White Sox, James Fegan of The Athletic reports.

All of Raleigh, Luis Torrens and Tom Murphy have now picked up two starts apiece at catcher this season, making it difficult to discern which of the three is atop the depth chart. Raleigh is sitting for the second straight day Wednesday while Murphy picks up a turn at catcher.

Raleigh is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against the White Sox, James Fegan of The Athletic reports.

The Mariners have rolled out a three-man rotation at catcher to begin the season, with Raleigh and Luis Torrens both picking up two turns behind the plate while Tom Murphy has started once. Raleigh's superior defense might be enough to give him the edge over Torrens as the nominal No. 1 option, but the 25-year-old backstop may need to show some improvement at the plate to maintain his spot atop the depth chart. Through his first 154 plate appearances in the big leagues, Raleigh is slashing .182/.234/.308 with a 35.1 percent strikeout rate.

Raleigh is out of the lineup for Sunday's game at Minnesota.

Raleigh finds himself on the bench for the second straight contest after going 1-for-2 with two walks Opening Day. Luis Torrens will catch Sunday, as the Mariners have given all three of their catchers a start through the first three games of the year.

Raleigh isn't starting Saturday's game against the Twins.

Raleigh drew the start in Friday's Opening Day win and went 1-for-2 with two walks and a strikeout. Tom Murphy will start behind the plate and bat ninth Saturday.

Raleigh will catch and bat ninth in Friday's Opening Day game against the Twins.

The Mariners will carry three catchers to start the year, but it's Raleigh who will get the Opening Day nod over Tom Murphy and Luis Torrens. Raleigh was a fairly interesting prospect but struggled to a .180/.223/.309 line in his 47-game debut last year. His underlying numbers suggest he deserved that poor performance, as he combined a 35.1 percent strikeout rate with a 4.7 percent walk rate, but the Mariners clearly believe he'll do better going forward.

Raleigh, who's hitting .278 with a home run and three RBI in nine Cactus League games, could be one of three catchers to make the Opening Day roster, Daniel Kramer of MLB.com reports.

The 25-year-old backstop has shown some solid improvement at the plate this spring after producing a .180/.223/.309 slash line across his first 148 big-league plate appearances in 2021. Raleigh does have solid pedigree as an offensive player, highlighted by a stellar season at Triple-A Tacoma a year ago that saw him produce a .324 average and .985 OPS in 199 plate appearances. Kramer also notes Raleigh has worked well with the entire pitching staff this spring and already produced above-average defensive metrics during his first majors stint.

Raleigh went 2-for-4 with a two-run home run Thursday against the Athletics.

Raleigh took James Kaprielian yard in the fifth inning to record the second home run of his career. He drew a start for the first time in three games, with Tom Murphy remaining the team's primary catcher. Across the first 138 plate appearances of his career in the majors, Raleigh is hitting .177.217/.308 while striking out at a 36.2 percent clip.

Raleigh went 2-for-4 with a double in a loss to the Red Sox on Tuesday.

The reserve backstop has a miserable .178/.222/.288 slash line for the season, but he's at least had a reason to smile over his last two starts. Raleigh is 4-for-8 in that pair of opportunities with the starting nine, which have come within a four-day period. Raleigh has encouragingly gotten good wood on the ball in that brief sample as well, as three of his four hits have been two-baggers.

Raleigh is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Astros.

After sitting against Houston right-hander Jake Odorizzi on Tuesday, the lefty-hitting Raleigh will remain on the bench versus a righty (Jose Urquidy) for the second day in a row. At this point, Tom Murphy -- who will catch Wednesday's game -- appears to have usurped Raleigh on the depth chart.

Raleigh will sit Tuesday against Oakland.

Raleigh is a fairly highly-rated prospect and has been given the chance to earn everyday at-bats recently, but he hasn't made the most of the opportunity. Through his first 91 MLB plate appearances, he's homered just once while slashing .179/.231/.286. Tom Murphy starts behind the plate in his absence.

Raleigh is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Astros.

Tom Murphy will be behind the plate for the series finale after Raleigh caught five of the Mariners' previous six games. Despite the run of steady playing time, Raleigh has yet to carry over much of his offensive success from Triple-A Tacoma over to the majors. Through his first 86 MLB plate appearances, Raleigh is hitting .177 with six extra-base hits (one home run, five doubles) and 30 strikeouts (34.9 percent rate).

Raleigh is not in Friday's lineup against the Blue Jays.

Tom Murphy gets the start behind the dish with lefty Robbie Ray on the hill for Toronto. The Mariners face lefties on Saturday (Hyun Jin Ryu) and Sunday (Steven Matz) as well, so Raleigh could play sparingly, if at all, this weekend.

Raleigh is out of the lineup for Thursday's game against the Yankees.

After a string of four consecutive starts behind the dish, Raleigh will remain on the bench for a second straight day while Tom Murphy receives another turn behind the dish. Though Murphy's .654 OPS is more than 200 points below his 2020 mark, he's still threatening Raleigh's status as the Mariners' No. 1 backstop. Since his July 11 call-up from Triple-A Tacoma, Raleigh has slashed .152/.200/.261 while striking out in 32 percent of his plate appearances.

Raleigh isn't starting Wednesday's game against the Rays.

Raleigh went 1-for-4 with a double and three RBI in Monday's 11-8 win over the Astros.

The rookie backstop struck out three times on the night, but he made his lone hit count, as he cleared the bases with a two-bagger in the fourth inning to put the Mariners on the board. Raleigh is now slashing .148/.207/.333 with a 37.9 percent strikeout rate through the first eight games of his big-league career, but the Mariners will likely give him at least a few more opportunities to right the ship before pulling the plug on him as the team's No. 1 catcher.

Raleigh is out of the lineup Sunday against the Athletics.

Raleigh started the past two games and will take a seat for Sunday's afternoon affair. Tom Murphy will work behind the plate for Seattle.

Raleigh went 1-for-4 with a two-run homer in Friday's 4-3 win over the Athletics.

Raleigh picked up a start behind the dish for the first time since July 20 and drilled a fastball over the right field wall for his first career home run. The 24-year-old did strike out in his other three at-bats and is just 3-for-20 to begin his big-league tenure. He'll likely move forward in a timeshare while he's still getting used to MLB pitching.

Raleigh isn't in the lineup Thursday against the Athletics.

Raleigh is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Angels.

Raleigh had started behind the plate in each of the Mariners' last three games, going hitless with four strikeouts across 12 at-bats. Though he's still looking for his first big-league hit, Raleigh appears set to work ahead of both Luis Torrens and Tom Murphy. The Mariners will hand Murphy a start at catcher Sunday in what likely amounts to a maintenance day for Raleigh.

Raleigh was selected from Triple-A Tacoma on Sunday. He is catching and batting sixth in the series finale against the Angels.

Raleigh has been stellar with Tacoma this season, hitting .324 with nine homers and 36 RBI in 176 at-bats. One of the organization's higher-ranked prospects, the 24-year-old will be making his MLB debut Sunday.

Raleigh owns a .357/.412/.661 slash line with 15 doubles, one triple, six home runs and 23 RBI over 28 games for Triple-A Tacoma.

The talented backstop is in the midst of the most productive season in affiliated ball yet, and his numbers are particularly in stark contrast to the .228/.296/.414 line he produced for Double-A Arkansas back in 2019. Raleigh's stellar numbers could well earn him a big-league promotion at some point in 2021 if they endure, especially considering the trio of Tom Murphy, Luis Torrens and Jose Godoy have largely failed to distinguish themselves at the plate thus far.

Raleigh is 2-for-7 with a double, an RBI and a run across his first three Cactus League games.

The promising catcher doesn't have a clear path to an Opening Day roster spot with Tom Murphy and Luis Torrens expected to form a platoon behind the dish to open the season, but it's been previously speculated Raleigh is slated to make his big-league debut at some point in the 2021 campaign. Shannon Drayer of 710 ESPN Seattle reports manager Scott Servais was especially pleased with Raleigh's work at the plate during Friday's tie with the White Sox, a game in which the 24-year-old knotted up the score at 2-2 in the third with a two-out single on a full count. A third-round pick in the 2018 first-year player draft, Raleigh has steadily progressed through the organizational ranks and posted a 22-homer, 66-RBI campaign as part of a .261/.336/.535 slash at High-A Modesto back in 2018.

Raleigh is expected to debut this season, team president Kevin Mather said in a talk with the Bellevue Breakfast Rotary Club in early February which was posted to the club's official YouTube channel.

Mather's talk contained some surprisingly direct discussions of the sort of blatant service-time manipulation that teams tend not to admit to, though Raleigh's case may not involve the same sort of foul play. He didn't fully conquer Double-A during his 39 games for Arkansas in 2019, striking out 29.6 percent of the time while posting a 96 wRC+, so he'll need to prove himself in the high minors before pushing for a debut later in the year.

Raleigh required stitches on his right ear to seal a laceration that he sustained after he was hit in the side of the head by a bat during an intrasquad game Sunday, Greg Johns of MLB.com reports.

Fortunately, the 23-year-old catcher was cleared of a concussion, so he should be ready to resume game action within the next few days. Raleigh received an invite to the Mariners' summer camp after slashing .251/.323/.497 between stops at High-A Modesto and Double-A Arkansas in 2091.

Raleigh suffered a head injury during Sunday's intrasquad matchup at the team's alternate training site, Greg Johns of MLB.com reports.

Raleigh was hit by the backswing of a teammate during the game that required him to get stitches in his head. It's unclear whether he's dealing with a concussion. The 23-year-old has yet to appear in the majors, but he impressed in camp and could join the 28-man roster at some point if injuries occur to the Mariners' catchers, assuming Raleigh himself is healthy.

Raleigh is likely to frequently be designated the third catcher on the team's three-man taxi squad this season and could see some regular-season playing time, Greg Johns of MLB.com reports. "Cal's having a good camp," manager Scott Servais said. "He swings the bat really well and certainly has power from both sides of the plate. The catching side has really impressed me with his arm strength in this camp and some of the drills."

The 23-year-old backstop has Tom Murphy and Austin Nola ahead of him on the depth chart, but Johns makes a case for Raleigh getting his first taste of regular-season big-league action at some point. If Murphy, who's expected to serve as the primary backstop, misses some time during the 60-game campaign, Nola, who only has four games of experience behind the dish, will likely need some help manning the position. Raleigh has yet to play above the Double-A level and struggled to a .228 average and .296 on-base percentage in 39 games there last season, but he's worked closely with Mariners Hall of Fame catcher Dan Wilson during summer camp and has caught the eye of his boss. "He's still learning all the pitchers and their nuances, certainly some of the older guys, but this is a good opportunity for him," Servais said. "He's a guy that's going to show up here at some point and play a big role for us behind the plate, there's no question about that."
