Raleigh went 1-for-3 with a solo home run and a walk in Sunday's 3-2 win over Houston.
Raleigh took advantage of Daikin Park's hitter-friendly dimensions by lifting a 327-foot solo homer into the left-field Crawford Boxes in the sixth inning. It marked the catcher's second homer of August, a month in which he's slashing just .114/.250/.250 through 13 contests. It's been a deeply disappointing 2026 for the 29-year-old, as Raleigh has mustered just a .158/.268/.300 slash line with 13 homers, 44 RBI, 27 runs and two stolen bases across 91 games after launching 60 long balls during the 2025 regular season.

Mariners' Cal Raleigh: Not in Thursday's lineup
Rotowire
Raleigh is absent from the lineup for Thursday's game versus the Tigers.
Raleigh was hit by a pitch in the midsection during Wednesday's win over the Tigers, though he stayed in and finished the contest. He's likely sore, but his absence from Thursday's lineup could simply be due to it being an afternoon game after he started the last eight tilts. Jhonny Pereda will fill in at catcher in the series finale while Raleigh rests.

Mariners' Cal Raleigh: Belts homer in win
Rotowire
Raleigh went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Tuesday's 7-6 win over the Dodgers.
Raleigh's second-inning blast answered a Shohei Ohtani homer from the opening frame. It's now been 15 games since Raleigh last had a multi-hit effort, going just 8-for-52 (.154) in that span. The prolonged slump at the plate has caused the catcher to plunge in the order. Raleigh hit second early on, but he has been fifth or sixth in the lineup in four of his last five games. Overall, he's batting .166 with a .579 OPS, 11 homers, 36 RBI, 25 runs scored, seven doubles and two stolen bases over 75 contests.

Mitch Garver will handle catching duties and Julio Rodriguez will serve as the Mariners' designated hitter while Raleigh gets his first day off since he returned from the injured list June 16. The 2025 All-Star hasn't shown much sign of breaking out his season-long slumber at the plate over the last five-plus weeks following his activation, slashing just .170/.304/.277 with a 32.6 percent strikeout during that stretch.

Mariners' Cal Raleigh: Launches grand slam Monday
Rotowire
Raleigh went 1-for-5 with a grand slam and a fifth RBI in Monday's 8-0 win over the Reds.
Raleigh put a big bow on the Mariners' seventh-inning rally, and he knocked in another run in the eighth. The catcher had come out of the All-Star break cold, going 0-for-10 during the Mariners' three-game series versus the Giants over the weekend. He's still batting just .163 with a .573 OPS, 10 homers, 34 RBI, 24 runs scored, seven doubles and two stolen bases over 69 contests this year.
Raleigh went 1-for-4 with a three-run home run in Saturday's 11-0 win over the Blue Jays.
Raleigh smacked a three-run shot in the bottom of the sixth inning to put the Mariners in double digits. It was the 29-year-old's first hit in three July contests, and he's now batting just .161 with two homers and nine RBI in 17 games since returning from the injured list June 16. On the year, he has a lowly .573 OPS with nine homers, 27 RBI, 22 runs scored and two steals across 250 plate appearances.
Raleigh went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Tuesday's 3-2 win over the Pirates.
Raleigh got Seattle on the board with his fourth-inning blast off Mitch Keller, his eighth homer this year and first since April 27. Prior to Tuesday, Raleigh had gone just 3-for-18 with no extra-base hits in six games since returning from a month-long stint on the IL. It's been a disappointing season overall for Raleigh after his breakout 2025 campaign -- he's now slashing .164/.258/.317 with 21 RBI and 18 runs scored over 209 plate appearances.
The Mariners reinstated Raleigh (oblique) from the 10-day injured list Tuesday.
After missing over a month of action as a result of being placed on the IL on May 14, Raleigh is back with the big-league club. The catcher completed a five-game rehab assignment between High-A Everett and Triple-A Tacoma before being cleared to return to Seattle. In order to make room on the roster for Raleigh, the Mariners optioned Jhonny Pereda to Tacoma.

Mariners' Cal Raleigh: Plates two in return
Rotowire
Raleigh went 1-for-3 with a walk and two RBI in Tuesday's 3-1 win over the Orioles.
Raleigh returned from a month-long absence due to an oblique strain. He caught all nine innings and delivered the Mariners' winning play at the plate with a two-run single in the seventh. Prior to his stint on the injured list, he went just 2-for-44 (.045) over a 12-game stretch. He should see a majority of the time behind the dish moving forward, though Raleigh may serve as designated hitter occasionally to keep his bat in the lineup without taking too much of a toll on his body. He's batting just .165 with a .566 OPS, seven home runs, 20 RBI, 16 runs scored, four doubles and two stolen bases over 42 contests this season.
