• Mariners' Luke Raley: Moved to 60-day IL

  08/19/2026 • By RotoWire

  The Mariners transferred Raley (forearm) from the 10-day injured list to the 60-day IL on Wednesday. The move opens up a spot on the 40-man roster for left-hander Jhonathan Diaz, whose contract was selected from Triple-A Tacoma. The move also means Raley will be sidelined for the rest of the regular season, though he would be eligible to play in the postseason should the Mariners qualify and if he's made a full recovery from his left forearm strain. He'll finish the 2026 campaign with a .225/.284/.439 slash line with 15 home runs, one stolen base, 39 RBI and 28 runs across 287 plate appearances.

• Mariners' Luke Raley: Likely done for season

  08/05/2026 • By RotoWire

  Mariners general manager Justin Hollander said Tuesday that Raley is expected to miss the rest of the season after sustaining a left forearm strain, Adam Jude of The Seattle Times reports. Per MLB.com, Raley had been dealing with discomfort in his forearm/elbow for multiple weeks before the Mariners elected to place him on the injured list Saturday. The Mariners are still deciding on a treatment plan for Raley, with surgery seemingly not being ruled out. A right-handed thrower, Raley won't be affected by the injury in the field, but since he bats from the left side, he'll require a lengthy recovery even if he's able to avoid surgery and instead treats the injury with rest and rehab. Raley's injury was likely a major factor in the Mariners' acquisition Monday of Taylor Ward, who served as a designated hitter in Tuesday's loss to the Tigers but is expected to serve as Raley's primary replacement in right field.

• Mariners' Luke Raley: Placed on injured list

  08/01/2026 • By RotoWire

  The Mariners placed Raley (elbow) on the 10-day injured list Saturday, Shannon Drayer of SeattleSports.com reports. Raley has reportedly been battling soreness in his elbow for a while and missed Friday's game because of it, so the Mariners will now place him on the shelf. The severity of his injury is unknown, but he'll likely undergo imaging within the next several days to help determine exactly what he's dealing with and when he might be able to return. In the meantime, Victor Robles is a likely candidate to take over as Seattle's primary right fielder, and Stuart Fairchild will come up from Triple-A to fill the open roster spot.

  Raley is not in the lineup Tuesday versus the Dodgers. The Dodgers have southpaw Justin Wrobleski on the mound Tuesday, so the left-handed-hitting Raley will take a seat. Dominic Canzone is starting in right field for Raley, while Rob Refsnyder is getting a turn as the designated hitter.

  07/02/2026 • By RotoWire

  Raley (forearm) will start in right field and bat seventh Thursday against the Angels. Raley has missed each of the Mariners' last three games while dealing with a sore left forearm, but the issue appears to have subsided ahead of Thursday's series finale. He'll be looking to turn things around offensively after posting just a .398 OPS in 61 plate appearances during June.
