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.

Mariners' Luke Raley: Out Sunday with elbow discomfort
Rotowire
Raley is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Guardians due to elbow discomfort, Ryan Divish of The Seattle Times reports.
Though he played the full nine innings while going 0-for-3 with a walk over four plate appearances Saturday, Raley reportedly tweaked his elbow on a swing at some point during the contest. The Mariners will give him at least one game off to rest, clearing the way for Victor Robles to pick up a start in right field.

Mariners' Luke Raley: Back in action Tuesday
Rotowire
Raley (illness) is starting in right field and batting sixth Tuesday against the Pirates.
Raley is in the starting lineup for the first time since June 14, as he missed all three games versus Baltimore last week due to back tightness and the flu before the Red Sox started three straight left-handed pitchers over the weekend. The veteran outfielder has been productive this year with 14 homers, 35 RBI, 24 runs and an .801 OPS in 211 plate appearances, but he's racked up just 17 plate appearances versus southpaws and should continue operate as a strong-side platoon player in right field.

Mariners' Luke Raley: Taking seat against southpaw
Rotowire
Raley (illness) is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Red Sox.
Raley will be on the bench for a sixth straight game, but his absence Sunday may have more to do with a lefty (Payton Tolle) making the start for Boston. The 31-year-old made enough progress in his recovery from an illness to make a pinch-hitting appearance in Saturday's 5-1 loss, with Raley striking out in his lone at-bat.

Mariners' Luke Raley: Left out of lineup versus righty
Rotowire
Raley is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Orioles.
The Mariners often hold the left-handed-hitting Raley out of the lineup against southpaws, but he'll take a seat Tuesday with right-hander Brandon Young on the bump for Baltimore. Victor Robles will pick up a start in left field in place of Raley, who has gone just 2-for-21 at the dish over his last six games to bring his average down to .241 for the season.

Mariners' Luke Raley: Pops 14th homer
Rotowire
Raley went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run in Thursday's 7-5 loss to the Orioles.
Raley has endured a cold start to June. He's been held hitless in seven of nine games this month, going 3-for-31 (.097) since the calendar flipped. The outfielder is still batting .249 on the year, and he's added an .835 OPS, 14 homers, 33 RBI, 23 runs scored and a stolen base over 199 plate appearances. The Mariners appear to be committed to a platoon in right field, so Raley should continue to see steady playing time versus right-handed pitchers.

Mariners' Luke Raley: Clubs 11th homer
Rotowire
Raley went 2-for-5 with a two-run home run in Monday's 9-2 victory versus the Athletics.
Raley was a key part of Seattle's six-run third inning, as he launched a two-run homer. That was his first long ball since we went deep in back-to-back games May 13 and 14. Raley frequently sits against left-handed starters, which dings his fantasy value to an extent. Still, he's putting up strong numbers overall, slashing .270/.329/.562 with 11 homers, 20 runs, 29 RBI and one stolen base through 150 plate appearances.

Mariners' Luke Raley: Power surge continues in win
Rotowire
Raley went 2-for-5 with a three-run home run and an additional run scored in Thursday's 8-3 win over Houston.
The 31-year-old outfielder is surging in the power department, crushing five homers in his last eight games. Raley has firmly worked himself onto fantasy radars, slashing .300/.364/.657 with seven big flies, two doubles, one triple and 20 RBI over his last 26 contests (78 plate appearances) to raise his season OPS to .922. However, the left-handed-hitting Raley has taken a mere four at-bats versus southpaws this year, limiting his volume potential and upside.

Mariners' Luke Raley: Launches homer in extra-inning loss
Rotowire
Raley went 2-for-3 with a solo home run in Wednesday's 4-3 extra-inning loss to the Astros.
Raley has four homers over his last seven games, accounting for all but one of his hits in that span. He's added 11 RBI during the resurgence at the plate after an ice-cold end to April. Overall, he's batting .262 with a .901 OPS, nine homers, 24 RBI, 17 runs scored, four doubles, one triple and no stolen bases over 38 contests. Raley will likely continue to hold the platoon advantage over Rob Refsnyder for starts in right field.

Mariners' Luke Raley: Powers offense in win
Rotowire
Raley went 2-for-5 with two home runs and seven RBI during Friday's 12-8 victory over the White Sox.
After striking out in his first at-bat, Raley took advantage of his bases-loaded opportunity in the third and hit a grand slam off starter Sean Burke to give Seattle a 5-1 lead. The Sox caught up within half an inning, but Raley's three-run homer off Tyler Davis in the seventh put the M's ahead 9-5 and ensured Chicago would trail for the rest of the game. Now with eight homers on the season, Raley has surpassed Cal Raleigh to claim the highest total on the team.
