Lee was called up by the Astros on Friday, Danielle Lerner of the Houston Chronicle reports.

Lee is a fairly interesting prospect, with an excellent arm and good raw power, but there are questions about his hit tool. He hasn't had success at the Triple-A level, hitting .226/.285/.419 for Sugar Land through 64 games, good for just a 71 wRC+. He's presumably set to back up Martin Maldonado with Jason Castro (knee) landing on the injured list.

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.

Sanchez (heel) is not in the lineup for Friday's game against the Orioles, Aaron Gleeman of The Athletic reports.

Imaging on Sanchez's heel showed no serious damage after he was forced to leave Thursday's game. He will take it easy Friday and could perhaps sit Saturday as well, but it does not sound like Sanchez is in danger of landing on the injured list.

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 continues to display his penchant for squaring up the ball, bashing his 18th and 19th extra-base hits of the campaign. Considering Raleigh has just 29 hits overall and still carries a .199 batting average, .283 on-base percentage and 30.1 percent strikeout rate, the 29-year-old still has some work to do to dig himself out of his early-season hole.

Leon went 0-for-1 with three walks in Thursday's 5-3 win over the Twins.

Leon rejoined the Guardians -- the team he spent the 2020 season with -- in a trade with the Reds on Tuesday, and he's promptly played in three straight games. The veteran catcher is still in search of his first hit, going 0-for-4 with three walks and a strikeout so far. He'll likely split time with Luke Maile while Austin Hedges (concussion) is on the injured list. Leon hit a meager .222/.321/.306 in 26 games with Triple-A Louisville, so he shouldn't be expected to provide much offense in the majors.

Sanchez left Thursday's loss to Cleveland in the ninth inning due to a heel injury, but an imaging exam after the game showed no serious damage, the Minneapolis Star Tribune reports.

Sanchez will likely need to sit out a game or two before he's ready to play again. Ryan Jeffers replaced Sanchez in the game and will likely start at catcher while he's sidelined.

Maile is not in the starting lineup for Thursday's series finale versus the Twins.

Maile will get a day off after he went 1-for-6 while starting the last two contests behind the plate. Sandy Leon will draw the start at catcher Thursday.

Jeffers is not starting Thursday against the Guardians.

Jeffers will get a breather Thursday after he went 2-for-8 over the last two contests. Gary Sanchez will get the start behind the plate and bat seventh.

Haase went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run in Wednesday's win over the Giants.

Haase's only hit of the day was a big one, as he broke open a 1-1 tie with a two-run blast in the sixth inning. The 29-year-old now has five home runs this season, and he may have an uphill battle matching or surpassing the 22 long balls he recorded a season ago during a breakout campaign. Haase offers some power potential when he's in the lineup, but his playing time and overall production leave plenty to be desired.

Murphy (shoulder) was transferred to the 60-day injured list Wednesday.

Murphy's move to the 60-day IL is simply procedural, as the Mariners announced last week that the catcher will require season-ending shoulder surgery. Luis Torrens (shoulder) landed on the 10-day IL on Monday, so Andrew Knapp is on the active roster to serve as the primary backup to Cal Raleigh behind the plate.
