Jun 30 2025Raleigh went 1-for-3 with a solo home run and an additional RBI in Monday's 6-2 win over the Royals. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Raleigh didn't get a whole lot of chances to swing in the latter half of the Mariners' recent 10-game road trip. He clubbed five homers over the first four games of the trip, then went 5-for-21 with eight walks over the remaining six contests. The Royals didn't shy away from pitching to Raleigh, and he made them pay, first with a sacrifice fly in the fifth inning and then a solo shot in the seventh. Even with the brief power drought recently, Raleigh still leads the majors with 33 homers, three ahead of the Yankees' Aaron Judge. Raleigh has added a career-best .276/.387/.649 slash line while supplying 71 RBI, 60 runs scored, nine stolen bases and 16 doubles over 83 contests. His next homer will tie his career high for a single season.
Jun 22 2025Raleigh went 2-for-3 with a two-run homer, three runs scored and two walks in Sunday's win over the Cubs. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Raleigh belted a two-run shot in the first inning Sunday for his 31st long ball of the year. It was his third straight game with a home run, and he has five over his last five games. The superstar catcher has produced three straight 30-homer seasons and is quickly approaching his career best of 34 set last season. Raleigh is slashing .276/.383/.659 with 45 extra-base hits and 66 RBIs through 75 appearances.

ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Raleigh went deep in the first and seventh innings, recording his sixth multi-homer game of the season. Through 16 June contests, he's tallied 11 extra-base hits, 19 RBI, 13 runs scored and three steals. The 28-year-old leads the majors in home runs (29), is tied for first in RBI (63) and ranks second in OPS (1.025) across 319 plate appearances in what continues to be an MVP-caliber first half.
Jun 17 2025Raleigh went 3-for-4 with a home run, a double, six RBI, an additional run scored and a stolen base in Tuesday's 8-0 win over Boston. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: It was an outstanding performance by Raleigh, who piled up a season-high six RBI while recording the eighth steal of his sensational campaign. The switch-hitting backstop is already up to 27 homers through 263 at-bats in 2025, matching his total from his first full MLB season in 2022, and his eight pilfers also represent a career high. After smashing a career-high 34 long balls a year ago, Raleigh is well on pace to shatter that figure this season.
Jun 8 2025Raleigh is not in the lineup for Sunday's game against the Angels. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: It's just the second day off this season for Raleigh, who started the previous 28 games and clubbed 14 homers with a 1.155 OPS during that stretch. Mitch Garver will step in behind the plate to catch for George Kirby in the series finale at Anaheim.
Jun 7 2025Raleigh went 2-for-5 with two home runs and four RBI in Saturday's 8-6 loss to the Angels. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Raleigh opened the scoring with a three-run blast in the first inning and added a solo shot for the last run in the ninth, but the Angels did too much damage in between. Raleigh has three multi-homer games over his last 11 contests, going 15-for-43 (.349) with nine long balls and 18 RBI in that span. He's at 26 homers on the year, three ahead of Shohei Ohtani for the major-league lead. Raleigh has added a .272/.380/.655 slash line, 53 RBI, 44 runs scored, seven stolen bases and 11 doubles over 63 contests to be one of the best players, let alone catchers, in the majors this season. He is just eight homers shy of matching his career-high 34 from last year.
Jun 5 2025Raleigh went 2-for-4 with a two-run homer and three total RBI in Thursday's 4-3 loss to the Orioles.

It's been an incredible year thus far for the 28-year-old Raleigh -- he has at least one hit in 13 of his last 15 contests, going 20-for-58 (.345) with nine home runs in that span.

Since May 16 (16 games), Raleigh has launched 10 home runs and driven in 17 runs while going 18-for-59 (.305) at the plate. He's gone yard in three consecutive games and has the lead for most home runs in baseball with 23. In 253 plate appearances, Raleigh boasts a 1.016 OPS.
May 31 2025Raleigh went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run and a walk in Saturday's 5-4 extra-innings win over the Twins. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Raleigh has five homers among seven hits over his last five games, giving him 22 long balls on the year. Through Saturday's action, he is tied for first in the majors in homers, even with the Dodgers' Shohei Ohtani. Raleigh has added 44 RBI, 38 runs scored, six stolen bases and a .264/.382/.630 slash line through 57 contests. While he struck out 31 times over 27 games in May, Raleigh has more than made up for his misses by delivering with power when he can put bat to ball.
May 30 2025Raleigh went 2-for-4 with a pair of home runs and five RBI in Friday's 12-6 extra-inning loss to the Twins. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Raleigh became the first catcher to reach the 20-homer mark before the end of May in major-league history when he swatted a three-run blast in the first inning. He added a two-run homer in the eighth to get to 21 on the year, two ahead of Aaron Judge for the American League lead. Raleigh has hit safely in nine of the last 10 games, going 14-for-38 (.368) with six homers and 10 RBI in that span.

He's been locked in with both power and steady hitting lately, hitting seven homers while going 16-for-53 (.302) over his last 14 games. The catcher is up to a .258/.372/.603 slash line, 19 long balls, 37 RBI, 35 runs scored and five stolen bases over 53 contests as he continues to trend toward a career year.
May 22 2025Raleigh went 2-for-3 with a double and a solo home run in Wednesday's 6-5 win over the White Sox. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Raleigh took Brandon Eisert deep in the sixth inning, tying the game at 4-4. The homer was Raleigh's fourth in nine games and his 16th on the year, tying him with Aaron Judge for second most in MLB behind Shohei Ohtani and Kyle Schwarber. The 28-year-old Raleigh is slashing .249/.370/.584 with 33 RBI, 32 runs scored and five stolen bases across 208 plate appearances this year.

Over the last five games, Raleigh has gone 6-for-17 (.353) with three homers, six RBI, five runs scored and a stolen base. The catcher is already up to 15 long balls on the year, and he's added a .968 OPS, 31 RBI, 31 runs scored, five stolen bases and eight doubles over 44 contests.
May 12 2025Raleigh went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run in Monday's 11-5 loss to the Yankees. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Raleigh had gone 5-for-21 (.238) with one double and two RBI, as well as a 9:7 BB:K, over eight games since his two-homer effort versus the Rangers on May 2. The catcher delivered a two-run blast in the eighth inning Monday to cut the deficit to three runs, but the Yankees answered with a three-run ninth. Raleigh sits second in the American League with 13 long balls while adding 27 RBI, 27 runs scored, seven doubles, four stolen bases and a .241/.368/.559 slash line over 40 games.
May 6 2025Raleigh is not in the Mariners' starting lineup against the Athletics on Tuesday. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Raleigh will get his first day off of the season while Mitch Garver starts behind home plate and bats fifth. Raleigh is slashing .240/.359/.574 with four stolen bases, 23 runs scored, 12 home runs and 23 RBI in 153 plate appearances to start the season.
May 2 2025Raleigh went 2-for-4 with two home runs and five RBI in Friday's 13-1 win over the Rangers. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Raleigh tagged Jack Leiter for both homers, a solo shot to open the scoring in the fourth inning and a grand slam in the fifth that blew the game wide open for the Mariners. With the two-homer effort, Raleigh is now atop the major-league leaderboard with 12 homers. The catcher has been superb early in 2025, batting .242 with a .942 OPS, 23 RBI, 21 runs scored, four stolen bases and six doubles over 31 contests. He's batting .333 (7-for-21) with three extra-base hits and five RBI during his current six-game hitting streak.
Apr 20 2025Raleigh went 1-for-5 with a two-run homer in Sunday's 8-3 win at Toronto. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Raleigh stretched Seattle's lead to 3-0 with a majestic 398-foot long ball off Easton Lucas in the first inning. The Mariners' catcher is now tied for the MLB lead in home runs at nine with the Athletics' Tyler Soderstrom. Overall, Raleigh is slashing .233/.333/.593 with 14 runs scored, 15 RBI and three steals across 99 plate appearances.
Apr 18 2025Raleigh went 1-for-5 with a solo home run and a stolen base in Thursday's 11-7 win over the Reds.

It's the third homer in two games for Raleigh and his eighth of the year, good for second most in the majors. The 28-year-old catcher is slashing .216/.310/.581 with 12 runs scored, 11 RBI and three stolen bases through his first 84 plate appearances this season.
Apr 16 2025Raleigh went 2-for-5 with two solo home runs in Wednesday's 5-3 win over the Reds. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Raleigh saw his streak of home runs end at three games Tuesday, but he didn't lose a beat in Wednesday's win. He took the first pitch he saw from Nick Martinez deep to center field for a 412-foot homer in the fifth inning, and Raleigh logged the Mariners' fifth and final run in the seventh frame with another solo shot off Taylor Rogers. Raleigh is up to seven home runs on the year, which is tied with Aaron Judge for second-most in the majors behind Tyler Soderstrom (eight).
Apr 14 2025Raleigh went 1-for-3 with a two-run homer in Sunday's win over the Rangers. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Raleigh got the Mariners on the board quickly with a two-run blast off Nathan Eovaldi in the first inning. The switch-hitting catcher has now slugged a home run in three straight games and is up to five on the season. The batting average remains low (.220), but Raleigh is tied for second among all catchers with two steals through 16 games after stealing six bases in 153 games last year.
Apr 12 2025Raleigh went 2-for-3 with a solo home run, a double, a walk and three total runs in Saturday's 9-2 win against the Rangers. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Raleigh homered for the second straight day, blasting a 420-foot solo shot in the fifth inning. The powerful backstop is up to four home runs on the season, tied for second-most among MLB catchers. Raleigh is a good bet to finish near the top of the homer rankings among catchers after reaching 30 long balls each of the previous two campaigns.
Apr 11 2025Raleigh went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run Friday against the Rangers. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Raleigh broke up a tie game with a two-run blast in the eighth inning, taking Rangers right-hander Chris Martin deep. It's no surprise to see Raleigh hitting just .189 over his first 60 plate appearances of the year, as he's a lifetime .217 hitter across his five-year major-league career, but fantasy managers are getting a decent combination of pop and speed out of the switch-hitting backstop. Raleigh has three big flies, two doubles and five RBI through 14 outings, and he already has two stolen bases thus far.
Apr 6 2025Raleigh went 3-for-4 with a solo home run, a double and a walk in Sunday's loss to the Giants. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Raleigh went deep in the third inning for his second long ball of the year after knocking a double in the first. He later singled in the seventh and was intentionally walked in the ninth. Raleigh's first multi-hit game of 2025 boosted his slash line to .222/.349/.417 with three extra-base hits through 43 plate appearances.
Apr 1 2025Raleigh went 1-for-5 with a two-run home run in Monday's 9-6 loss to the Tigers. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Although the game was relatively out of reach, Raleigh launched a two-run shot in the ninth inning to at least keep hope alive for the Mariners temporarily. The switch-hitting backstop hit just .186 over 59 at-bats during spring training, and he's gone just 2-for-17 with three walks and a stolen base in his first five games of the season.
Mar 25 2025The Mariners signed Raleigh to a six-year, $105 million contract extension Tuesday, Jeff Passan of ESPN.com reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The deal begins this season and buys out Raleigh's final years of arbitration eligibility as well as his first three years of free agency. Raleigh has become baseball's preeminent power bat at catcher, easily leading the position with 76 home runs over the past three seasons. The 28-year-old also captured his first Gold Glove in 2024.
Mar 12 2025Raleigh went 0-for-3 with a walk in Wednesday's Cactus League game against the Royals and is now batting just .129 (4-for-31) with one home run and five RBI this spring. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Raleigh got off to fast start during spring training in 2024, belting four homers in 44 plate appearances a year ago, but it's been a sluggish beginning at the dish thus far this year. Even so, the Mariners are still set to rely on Raleigh as a key cog in their lineup in 2025. Although Raleigh hasn't finished with a batting average higher than .232 in any of the past three seasons, the switch-hitting slugger has smashed at least 27 long balls in each campaign since 2022.
Jan 9 2025Raleigh agreed to a one-year, $5.6 million contract with the Mariners on Thursday to avoid arbitration, Robert Murray of FanSided.com reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Raleigh will receive a $4.8 million salary bump in his first year of arbitration eligibility after setting career highs with 34 home runs and 100 RBI in 2024. While his career .218 batting average remains an issue for fantasy managers, the 28-year-old's power and consistent playing time make him well worth rostering in 2025.
Sep 29 2024Raleigh went 2-for-4 with a two-run home run and an additional run scored in Sunday's 6-4 win over the Athletics. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Raleigh set the record for most homers by a catcher over his first four seasons when he went yard in the fifth inning. That blast was the margin of victory Sunday, and it also secured a 100-RBI campaign for the 27-year-old backstop. He finished the year with a .220/.312/.436 slash line, 34 homers, 73 runs scored, six stolen bases and 16 doubles over 153 games, though he hit a much more impressive .286 (28-for-98) in September while homering in four of his last seven games.
Sep 27 2024Raleigh went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Friday's 2-0 win over the Athletics. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Raleigh has been consistent lately, going 12-for-40 (.300) over his last nine games. The catcher leads all major-league backstops with 32 homers this year, four ahead of the Athletics' Shea Langeliers. Raleigh has added a .218/.312/.426 slash line, 97 RBI, 70 runs scored and six stolen bases over 151 contests. While he's unlikely to hit for average over long spans, Raleigh is among the steadiest sources of power at the catcher position.
Sep 22 2024Raleigh went 1-for-3 with a solo home run and a hit-by-pitch in Sunday's 6-5 loss to the Rangers. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Raleigh went deep off Andrew Heaney in the third inning. Over 19 games in September, Raleigh has gone 19-for-71 (.268) with four homers, 15 RBI and 10 runs scored. The catcher is up to 31 homers, 95 RBI, 67 runs scored, six stolen bases and a .214/.311/.424 slash line over 147 contests this season, giving him an outside chance at a 100-RBI campaign if he gets hot over the final week.
Sep 15 2024Raleigh is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Rangers. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Raleigh's absence from the lineup ends a run of 19 straight starts, during which he posted a .229/.341/.400 slash line with three homers, 15 RBI and 10 runs. Mitch Garver will step in behind the plate to catch for right-hander George Kirby.
Sep 11 2024Raleigh went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Tuesday's loss to the Padres. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Raleigh got the Mariners on the board early with a first-inning solo home run off Yu Darvish to bring him up to 30 home runs for a second consecutive season. The 27-year-old is batting .333/.378/.667 with three homers, 11 RBI and seven runs over his last eight games and leads the Mariners by a wide margin in home runs and RBI. For the year, he's slashing .213/.304/.431 with 45 extra-base hits, 91 RBI, 64 runs, six steals and a 60:161 BB:K in 553 plate appearances.
Sep 5 2024Raleigh went 2-for-4 with a home run, three RBI and a stolen base in Thursday's 6-4 win over the A's. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Raleigh hit a two-run blast off Joey Estes deep in the top of the first inning to get the scoring started. Raleigh also managed to steal his sixth base of the season, which is impressive considering he only had one steal in his first three seasons combined. The 27-year-old is now just one homer away from matching his total from last year and being the first catcher with 30 home runs in back-to-back seasons since Mike Piazza did it for eight straight years from 1995 to 2002.
Sep 4 2024Raleigh went 2-for-4 with a two-run double and a second two-bagger in a loss to the Athletics on Tuesday. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: One day after driving in two runs with his 28th homer in a series-opening loss, Raleigh was once again one of the few bright spots for the Mariners in a second consecutive defeat. The backstop's first-inning double drove home J.P. Crawford and Julio Rodriguez to open the scoring, and those would turn out to be the only runs of the night for the light-hitting Seattle lineup. Raleigh appears to have an outside chance at a 100-RBI campaign if he keeps up the timely knocks, as he's now sitting 16 RBI away from the triple-digit threshold with 23 games remaining.
Sep 3 2024Raleigh went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run in a loss to the Athletics on Monday. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Raleigh squared up on an Osvaldo Bido four-seam fastball in the first inning with J.P. Crawford aboard, giving the Mariners an early 2-0 lead via a 386-foot shot to right field. The power-hitting backstop snapped a 12-game homer drought in the process, not to mention an 0-for-18 skid that had encompassed the previous four games. Raleigh now sits just three home runs away from surpassing the career-high 30 he belted in 2023, while his 82 RBI is already a new personal best.
Aug 24 2024Raleigh isn't in the Mariners' lineup Saturday against the Giants. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: After going 0-for-3 with two walks in Friday's series opener, Raleigh will take a seat Saturday while Mitch Garver catches for right-hander George Kirby.
Aug 21 2024Raleigh went 2-for-4 with a double and two runs in a loss to the Dodgers on Tuesday. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Raleigh bounced back from an 0-for-4 night in the series opener Monday to contribute his second multi-hit effort of August. The slugging catcher's two-bagger was his sixth extra-base hit in 15 games this month, and that pop has helped him to a respectable .453 slugging percentage over that span despite a .189 average and 25.4 percent strikeout rate.
Aug 18 2024Raleigh went 1-for-5 with a two-run home run Sunday against the Pirates. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Raleigh's 27th blast put the first two runs on the board for the Mariners and set the stage for the halting of the team's five-game skid. Raleigh is outpacing all catchers in homers, currently sitting five up on both Kansas City's Salvador Perez and Oakland's Shea Langeliers, though Raleigh's 78 RBI are four shy of Perez' total.
Aug 17 2024Raleigh is not in the starting lineup for Saturday's game against the Pirates. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Raleigh has gone 0-for-11 with two walks and three strikeouts across his last three outings, and he will begin Saturday's contest in the dugout. Mitch Garver will start behind home plate and bat eighth against Pittsburgh southpaw Bailey Falter.
Aug 12 2024Raleigh went 3-for-5 with two homers, a walk and five RBI in Sunday's win over the Mets. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Raleigh opened the game up with a two-run blast in the fourth off Luis Severino to make it a 4-0 lead for the Mariners. He then completely put the game out of reach with a three-run homer against Adam Ottavino in the sixth. Both home runs came on the first pitch of his respective at-bats. Raleigh has now reached 25-plus home runs in three straight seasons and is the first catcher to do that since Mike Piazza had eight consecutive seasons from 1995-2002. Following Sunday's performance, Raleigh now leads all catchers with a 3.6 fWAR. For the year, Raleigh is slashing .217/.310/.448 with 26 homers, 76 RBI, 52 runs and a 50:134 BB:K in 449 plate appearances.
Aug 10 2024Raleigh went 1-for-4 with a two-run single in a win over the Mets on Friday. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Raleigh provided the final runs of the night via his eighth-inning knock, which plated Leo Rivas and Victor Robles. The slugging backstop crossed the 70-RBI threshold for the second consecutive season in the process, and he's now knocked in multiple runs on six occasions in the last calendar month. Raleigh also extended his on-base streak to eight games with his single, and he's reached safely in 15 of the last 16 contests overall.
Aug 8 2024Raleigh went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run in a loss to the Tigers on Wednesday. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Raleigh uncorked a 427-foot shot to left field in the fourth inning with Randy Arozarena aboard to give the Mariners their first and only runs of the game. The homer was Raleigh's first since he memorably left the yard in three straight games July 27-29, and it leaves him just six round trippers away from tying the career-best 30 he slugged in 2023.
Jul 29 2024Raleigh went 2-for-5 with a solo home run and two runs scored in Monday's 14-7 loss against the Red Sox. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Raleigh went back-to-back with Randy Arozarena in the sixth inning and extended a hitting streak to five games, which ties his longest this season. Raleigh launched his 23rd homer, which leads all MLB catchers in the current campaign. The 27-year-old has been hot in the month of July with nine home runs in 22 games. Raleigh has also racked up eight multi-hit games in July, the same amount he had in his previous 80 games this season.
Jul 28 2024Raleigh went 2-for-5 with a home run and three RBI in Sunday's win over the White Sox. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: After snapping a nine-game homerless skid Saturday, Raleigh belted a two-run shot in the first inning Sunday. It was his 22nd of the year and 8th in 22 appearances this month. Raleigh later knocked an RBI single in the fourth inning. He's hitting .259 (21-for-81) in July, raising his season slash line to .216/.302/.434 with 32 extra-base hits and 66 RBI through 101 games.
Jul 27 2024Raleigh went 1-for-4 with a solo home run and a walk in Saturday's 6-3 win over the White Sox. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: This was Raleigh's first long ball of the second half. He's hit safely in four of his last five games, going 5-for-18 with three walks in that span. The catcher continues to display excellent power with 21 homers and a .426 slugging percentage, but he's batting just .213 on the year. He's added 63 RBI, 43 runs scored, 10 doubles and five stolen bases through 100 contests.
Jul 23 2024Raleigh went 1-for-3 with an RBI single and a walk in a loss to the Angels on Monday. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Raleigh opened the scoring on the night with a first-inning single that plated J.P. Crawford (finger), a run that would turn out to be the only one for the Mariners. The 27-year-old snapped an 0-for-16, four-game skid that stretched back to the final game before the All-Star break with the timely knock, but he's now gone six straight contests without an extra-base hit.
Jul 12 2024Raleigh went 2-for-4 with a two-run homer and a walk in Friday's loss to the Angels. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The Mariners catcher slugged a monstrous 423-foot, two-run homer off Tyler Anderson in the third inning. Raleigh has been on a tear lately, hitting five homers over his past four games while batting .471 (8-for-17). He leads all catchers in homers with 20. Overall, the 27-year-old is now slashing .218/.303/.443 with 61 RBI and 40 runs scored across 350 plate appearances.
Jul 10 2024Raleigh went 3-for-5 with a pair of two-run homers, a double and three runs scored in Tuesday's 8-3 win over the Padres. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The switch-hitting Raleigh was able to accomplish hitting a home run from both sides of the plate Tuesday night. He began with a two-run blast in the third from the left side and then matched it with a two-run shot from the right side in the seventh to put the Mariners up 7-0. Raleigh has just 62 hits this season and is hitting .210, but 17 of those have gone for home runs, leading to 55 RBI, which is tied for second among catchers. Raleigh has never been a guy to hit for much average but has always made up for it in the power department. His 74 home runs since the beginning of 2022 lead all catchers in the MLB and his 17 homers this season are the most by a Mariners' catcher before the All-Star break. The 27-year-old is slashing .210/.295/.414 and is on pace for career highs in home runs and RBI.
Jul 4 2024Raleigh went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in a loss to the Orioles on Wednesday.

The homer was a much-needed positive outcome for the backstop, as he entered the contest having gone 1-for-26 with 13 strikeouts over his previous eight games.

Jun 25 2023Raleigh went 1-for-3 with a two-run homer in Sunday's 3-2 loss against the Orioles. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Raleigh took Kyle Bradish yard in the second inning for a two-run homer that plated Eugenio Suarez and marked the catcher's second homer in four games. Over that four-game stretch, Raleigh is hitting 6-for-17 (.352) with five runs scored and four RBI while striking out only twice.
Jun 22 2023Raleigh went 2-for-5 with a solo home run and an additional run a 10-2 victory versus the Yankees on Thursday. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Raleigh hit the last of four solo homers for the Mariners, going deep to right field in the fourth inning. The long ball was his 10th of the campaign, making him the seventh big-league backstop to reach double-digit homers this season. Raleigh hasn't quite matched the pace that saw him go deep 27 times last year, but he's improved his strikeout rate by over three percentage points and is reaching base slightly more often overall.
Jun 17 2023Raleigh will not start Saturday's game against the White Sox. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Raleigh has been in a slump at the plate recently, going 3-for-31 over his last nine games. Tom Murphy will catch for Logan Gilbert on Saturday.
Jun 14 2023Raleigh went 1-for-3 with a three-run homer, a walk and an additional run scored in Tuesday's win over Miami. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Raleigh kicked off the scoring with a three-run blast off Edward Cabrera in the second inning. The home run represented both his first hit and first RBI since May 31, as he came into Tuesday with no hits in his last 21 at-bats. Raleigh remains a below-average contact hitter, but his power numbers are also down with a .201 ISO compared to a .278 ISO from a season ago. The 26-year-old is slashing .211/.295/.412 with nine homers, 29 RBI, 29 runs and a 23:56 BB:K over 217 plate appearances.
Jun 12 2023Raleigh is not in the starting lineup Monday versus the Marlins. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Raleigh will head to the bench as the Mariners face off with southpaw Jesus Luzardo on Monday.

ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The slugging backstop's fourth-inning solo shot gave the Mariners a 2-0 lead and marked his first time leaving the yard since May 15. Raleigh has also now hit safely in four of his last five games, a stretch where he's hitting .333 with just one strikeout across 20 plate appearances.
May 27 2023Raleigh went 2-for-3 with two doubles, a walk and a run in a loss to the Pirates on Friday. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Raleigh kept up his season-long trend of squaring up the ball formidably, belting his 16th and 17th extra-base hits of the season. The pair of two-baggers snapped a modest extra-base-hit drought for Raleigh, who'd last produced something other than a single May 17. The 26-year-old boosted his OPS to .773 with Friday's performance, equaling the career-high figure he finished the 2022 campaign with.
May 22 2023Raleigh went 1-for-5 with one RBI and a run scored in Monday's 11-2 win over the Athletics. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Raleigh missed both of the Mariners' games over the weekend while dealing with neck spasms. Even with the blowout, he caught all nine innings, so he should be good to go in his usual role. The power-hitting catcher has hit safely in six of his last seven games and is slashing .232/.321/.449 with seven home runs, 23 RBI, 24 runs scored, seven doubles and a triple through 156 plate appearances this season.

May 15 2023Raleigh went 3-for-5 with two home runs, three total runs and four total RBI in Monday's 10-1 rout of the Red Sox. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: After the two teams played to a scoreless draw through four innings, Raleigh broke the tie with a mammoth 438-foot two-run shot off righty Tanner Houck. The switch hitter then flipped to the other side of the plate against southpaw Brennan Bernardino in the sixth and hit another two-run shot, this time a 434-footer. In doing so, Raleigh became the first catcher ever to homer from both sides of the plate at Fenway Park, per Jon Morosi of MLB Network. The backstop is up to seven long balls and 22 RBI on the campaign after belting 27 homers and driving in 63 runs in his first full MLB campaign last season.
May 14 2023Raleigh is not in the starting lineup for Sunday's contest against Detroit. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Raleigh continues to not see consistent playing time against left-handers, and he'll take a rest against Joey Wentz and the Tigers for the series finale. Tom Murphy will handle catching duties and hit fifth against Wentz on Sunday.

ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Raleigh will take a seat after going 0-for-2 with a pair of walks in a win for the Mariners over the Athletics on Tuesday. Tom Murphy will handle catching duties and hit sixth.
May 1 2023Raleigh went 2-for-4 with a pair of two-run home runs, a walk and an additional run in an extra-inning win over the Blue Jays on Sunday. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Raleigh was the most impactful contributor on a prolific afternoon for the Mariners offense. 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.
Apr 29 2023Raleigh went 2-for-4 with a home run and two RBI in Friday's 3-2 loss to the Blue Jays. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The catcher took Alek Manoah deep for a solo shot in the second inning before adding an RBI single in the third. Raleigh hasn't quite found his power stroke yet in 2023, producing a .205 ISO through 87 plate appearances after posting a .278 mark last season, but he's maintained a decent fantasy floor by batting .231 with three homers, 11 runs and 14 RBI in 22 games.
Apr 27 2023Raleigh is absent from the Mariners' lineup for Thursday's game in Philadelphia, Shannon Drayer of Seattle Sports 710 AM reports.

Apr 5 2023Raleigh went 2-for-4 with a double, a run and an RBI in Tuesday's 11-2 win over the Angels. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: 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.
Apr 3 2023Raleigh is absent from the Mariners' lineup for Monday's game versus the Angels. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The Angels are throwing southpaw Reid Detmers, so Raleigh will take a seat while Tom Murphy starts. Raleigh has been on the bench for two of the last three games, although he did pinch-hit in the first contest he didn't start.
Apr 2 2023Raleigh went 2-for-5 with a two-run double in an extra-inning loss to the Guardians on Sunday. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: 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.
Apr 1 2023Raleigh will sit Saturday against Cleveland. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Raleigh started the first two games of the season behind the plate, going 2-for-8 with a two-run double. Tom Murphy will take over at catcher Saturday.
Mar 31 2023Raleigh went 1-for-4 with a two-run double in the Mariners' loss to the Guardians on Friday. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: 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.
Mar 16 2023Raleigh is hitting .313 (5-for-16) with three doubles, one triple, two RBI and two runs across six Cactus League games. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The 26-year-old has made plenty of hard contact as that batting line corroborates, carrying over a favorable pattern that's 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.
Feb 20 2023Raleigh (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. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: 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.
Feb 1 2023Raleigh (thumb) said Wednesday that he had no issues while catching a bullpen session Tuesday for pitcher Marco Gonzales, Ryan Divish of The Seattle Times reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Raleigh mentioned that he has more rehab and strengthening work to do before being cleared for full baseball activities, but the fact that the surgically repaired left thumb isn't hindering him from catching is a positive sign at the onset of spring training. The switch-hitting backstop underwent surgery in the fall after he played through the broken thumb and a torn ligament in his left hand late in the regular season and during Seattle's postseason run. Raleigh, who hit 27 home runs and batted .211 in 415 plate appearances in 2022, appears on track to be ready for Opening Day, but he may not be formally cleared until he appears in a Cactus League game.
Oct 15 2022Raleigh has been playing through a broken thumb and torn ligament in his left hand, Adam Jude of the Seattle Times reports.

Oct 4 2022Raleigh went 3-for-5 with a solo home run in a 9-6 win in Game 2 of Tuesday's doubleheader. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: 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.
Oct 1 2022Raleigh isn't in the lineup Saturday against Oakland. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Raleigh ended the Mariners' 21-year playoff drought with a walkoff home run in the ninth inning Friday, and he'll retreat to the bench for a second consecutive game.

ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Raleigh put an official end to the Mariners' 21-year playoff drought with his walkoff blast in the ninth inning. The catcher entered the game as a pinch hitter for Luis Torrens. Raleigh has three homers in his last six games, and he's gone deep 26 times this season.

Sep 25 2022Raleigh was removed from Sunday's loss to the Royals after aggravating his thumb injury while catching, Shannon Drayer of Seattle Sports 710 AM reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Raleigh recently missed four games due to his thumb injury, and the thumb was hit while catching in the bottom of the sixth inning. Manager Scott Servais said that the catcher was OK during strength tests on the field and wanted to stay in, but the team ultimately replaced him in the top of the seventh inning. He should tentatively be considered day-to-day ahead of Tuesday's series opener against the Rangers.
Sep 24 2022Raleigh went 2-for-3 with a home run, a double and three total RBI in Saturday's 6-5 win against Kansas City. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Curt Casali got the start behind the plate for Seattle, but Raleigh came in to pinch hit for his fellow backstop in the sixth inning. The substitution paid immediate dividends, as Raleigh blasted a 444-foot two-run homer to right field to tie the score 5-5. 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.
Sep 22 2022Raleigh (thumb) started and played a full game at catcher in a loss to the Athletics on Wednesday, going 0-for-2 with a walk. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: 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 OBP.
Sep 21 2022Raleigh (thumb) is starting behind the plate and batting sixth Wednesday against the A's. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: 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.

Raleigh should be considered day-to-day as Curt Casali receives another start behind the plate Tuesday.
Sep 19 2022Mariners 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. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: 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.
Sep 18 2022Raleigh is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Angels. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Raleigh made his return to the lineup Saturday following a one-game absence due to a jammed left thumb. Though he got on base twice in the Mariners' 2-1 loss and didn't appear to suffer any setbacks, the lefty-hitting Raleigh will get some maintenance for the day game after a night game and while the Angels bring a southpaw (Reid Detmers) to the hill. Curt Casali checks in for Raleigh behind the dish.

Raleigh could be available off the bench and should be considered day-to-day.
Sep 7 2022Raleigh isn't starting Wednesday against the White Sox, Shannon Drayer of Seattle Sports 710 AM reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Raleigh has been one of the hottest hitters in baseball over the last week, posting a 1.430 OPS with five home runs, a double, 11 RBI and eight runs over his last seven games. However, he'll get a breather while Curt Casali starts behind the dish and bats eighth.
Sep 6 2022Raleigh went 1-for-3 with a two-run home run and a walk in Tuesday's 3-0 win over the White Sox. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Raleigh continued his recent power surge with his eighth-inning blast. Over his last seven contests, he's gone 7-for-22 (.318) with five homers, 11 RBI and eight runs scored.

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.

ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Raleigh unleashed his 19th homer in the third inning to give the Mariners an early 2-0 lead, and his sac fly later in the six-run frame plated Ty France.

Jul 26 2022Raleigh went 2-for-4 with an RBI single in a win over the Rangers on Monday. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The young backstop mustered one of two multi-hit efforts on the night for the Mariners, his third such tally of July.

Jul 24 2022Raleigh will sit Sunday versus the Astros. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Raleigh will get a day off after he went 0-for-7 with four strikeouts over the first two games of the series. Luis Torrens will start behind the plate and bat sixth in the series finale.

ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: 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.
Jul 16 2022Raleigh went 2-for-3 with two walks and two runs in a win over the Rangers on Friday.

ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: 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.

Jul 5 2022Raleigh went 1-for-5 with an RBI fielder's choice, a three-run double and a stolen base in a win over the Padres on Monday. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Raleigh's stat line was certainly a lopsided one in a positive way, with the backstop parlaying yet another extra-base hit into a three-RBI haul 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.
Jul 1 2022Raleigh will sit Friday against Oakland, Ryan Divish of The Seattle Times reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: 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.
Jun 28 2022Raleigh went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Monday's loss to the Orioles. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: 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.
Jun 26 2022Raleigh is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Angels. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: 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.
Jun 25 2022Raleigh went 3-for-4 with two doubles and a walk in Saturday's 5-3 win over the Angels. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: 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.
Jun 23 2022Raleigh is out of the lineup for Thursday's game against the Athletics. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: 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.
Jun 22 2022Raleigh 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. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: 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.
Jun 18 2022Raleigh will sit for the first half of Saturday's doubleheader against the Angels. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: 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.
Jun 17 2022Raleigh 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. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: 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.
Jun 15 2022Raleigh isn't starting Wednesday against the Twins. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: 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.
Jun 12 2022Raleigh will be on the bench Sunday against the Red Sox. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: 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.
Jun 9 2022Raleigh went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run in a win over the Astros on Wednesday. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: 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.
Jun 6 2022Raleigh went 2-for-4 with a home run and four RBI in Monday's 7-4 win against the Astros. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: 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.
Jun 3 2022Raleigh went 2-for-3 with a solo home run and a double in Friday's 4-3 win over the Rangers. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: 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.
Jun 2 2022Raleigh isn't starting Thursday against the Orioles. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: 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.
Jun 1 2022Raleigh went 1-for-4 with an RBI sacrifice fly, a two-run single and a run in a win over the Orioles on Tuesday. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: 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.
May 29 2022Raleigh is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Astros, Ryan Divish of The Seattle Times reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: 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.
May 25 2022Raleigh isn't starting Wednesday against the Athletics. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: 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.
May 24 2022Raleigh went 2-for-4 with a two-run home run in a win over the Athletics on Monday. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: 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 big-league arms hard to master despite consistent production at Triple-A Tacoma, but four of his six hits with the Mariners across 57 plate appearances have left the yard.
May 19 2022Raleigh is out of the lineup for Thursday's game against the Red Sox. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: 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.
May 16 2022Raleigh went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run Sunday in the Mariners' 8-7 win over the Mets. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: 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.
May 7 2022Raleigh was recalled from Triple-A Tacoma on Saturday. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: 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. Luis Torrens has started in six of the last nine games, but Raleigh should still be able to see some playing time.
Apr 26 2022Raleigh is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Rays. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: 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.
Apr 21 2022Raleigh isn't starting Thursday's game against the Rangers. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: 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.
Apr 19 2022Raleigh is not in the lineup for Tuesday's game against Texas. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: 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.
Apr 17 2022Raleigh is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Astros. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: 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.
Apr 15 2022Raleigh isn't starting Friday's game against the Astros. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: 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.
Apr 14 2022Raleigh went 1-for-3 with a solo home run and a walk during Thursday's 5-1 win over the White Sox. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: 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.
Apr 13 2022Raleigh is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the White Sox, James Fegan of The Athletic reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: 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.
Apr 12 2022Raleigh is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against the White Sox, James Fegan of The Athletic reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: 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.
Apr 10 2022Raleigh is out of the lineup for Sunday's game at Minnesota. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: 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.
Apr 9 2022Raleigh isn't starting Saturday's game against the Twins. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: 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.
Apr 8 2022Raleigh will catch and bat ninth in Friday's game against the Twins. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The Mariners will carry three catchers to start the year, but it's Raleigh who will get the nod in Seattle's first game over Tom Murphy and Luis Torrens. Raleigh is a fairly interesting prospect but struggled to a .180/.223/.309 line in his 47-game MLB debut last year after posting a far superior .324/.377/.608 line in 44 games for Triple-A Tacoma. His underlying numbers in the majors 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.
Sep 23 2021Raleigh went 2-for-4 with a two-run home run Thursday against the Athletics. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: 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.
Sep 15 2021Raleigh went 2-for-4 with a double in a loss to the Red Sox on Tuesday. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: 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.
Sep 8 2021Raleigh is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Astros. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: 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. After going 0-for-17 over his last six games, Raleigh's batting average now sits at .157 since he was called up from Triple-A Tacoma on July 11.
Sep 7 2021Raleigh isn't starting Tuesday's game against the Astros. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Raleigh went 0-for-4 with two strikeouts in Monday's loss and will head to the bench for the second time in the last three games. Tom Murphy will start at catcher and bat eighth.
Sep 5 2021Raleigh is not in the lineup for Sunday's game against the Diamondbacks. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Raleigh has hit a lowly .138 with a pair of doubles and a 40 percent strikeout rate in his last 10 games. Tom Murphy is catching and batting sixth Sunday.
Sep 3 2021Raleigh isn't starting Friday's game against the Diamondbacks. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Raleigh has gone 0-for-7 with a strikeout across his last three appearances and will be out of the lineup for the third time in the last four games. Tom Murphy will start behind the plate and bat sixth.
Sep 1 2021Raleigh is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Astros. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: After going 0-for-3 in Tuesday's 4-0 win to drop his season average to .173, Raleigh will take a seat for the second time in the series. Tom Murphy will step in behind the dish for Raleigh.
Aug 30 2021Raleigh isn't in the lineup Monday against the Astros. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Raleigh went 1-for-6 with an RBI, a walk and two strikeouts across the last two games and will get a day off Monday. Tom Murphy will start at catcher and bat ninth.
Aug 27 2021Raleigh isn't starting Friday's game against the Royals. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Raleigh went 1-for-4 with a double and two strikeouts in Thursday's contest, but he'll retreat to the bench for the second time in the last three games. Tom Murphy will start at catcher and bat seventh.
Aug 24 2021Raleigh will sit Tuesday against Oakland. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: 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.
Aug 22 2021Raleigh is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Astros. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: 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).
Aug 19 2021Raleigh isn't starting Thursday's game against the Rangers. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Raleigh was in the lineup during each of the last three games and went 3-for-9 with two doubles, two runs and three strikeouts. Tom Murphy will start behind the plate and bat seventh.
Aug 14 2021Raleigh will sit for the second straight game Saturday against Toronto. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Raleigh has a fair amount of potential but hasn't shown much of it in his first 20 major-league games, hitting .159/.206/.254. Tom Murphy remains the starter behind the plate in his absence.
Aug 13 2021Raleigh is not in Friday's lineup against the Blue Jays. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: 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.
Aug 10 2021Raleigh is not in the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Rangers. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: After a 1-for-4 performance Sunday, Raleigh is now hitting .182 with two doubles and six RBI in his last 10 games. Tom Murphy is catching and batting eighth Tuesday.
Aug 7 2021Raleigh isn't starting Saturday's game against the Yankees. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Raleigh went 1-for-4 with a double Friday, but he'll retreat to the bench for the third time in the last four games. Tom Murphy will start behind the dish and bat fifth.
Aug 5 2021Raleigh is out of the lineup for Thursday's game against the Yankees. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: 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.
Aug 4 2021Raleigh isn't starting Wednesday's game against the Rays. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Raleigh had started each of the last four games, and he went 1-for-16 with two RBI and four strikeouts. Tom Murphy will start behind the plate and bat seventh.
Jul 30 2021Raleigh isn't starting Friday against the Rangers. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Raleigh has gone 3-for-7 with a double, three RBI, a run, a walk and four strikeouts across his last two appearances, and he'll retreat to the bench for a second straight game. Tom Murphy will start behind the plate and bat seventh.
Jul 28 2021Raleigh isn't starting Wednesday's game against the Astros. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Raleigh recorded hits in each of the last two games and went 3-for-7 with a double, three RBI, a run and a walk during that time. Tom Murphy will start behind the plate and bat seventh.
Jul 27 2021Raleigh went 1-for-4 with a double and three RBI in Monday's 11-8 win over the Astros. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: 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 more opportunities to right the ship after his dominating performance in Triple-A (.324/.377/.608 with a 12.6 percent strikeout rate) earlier this season.
Jul 25 2021Raleigh is out of the lineup Sunday against the Athletics. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: 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.
Jul 24 2021Raleigh went 1-for-4 with a two-run homer in Friday's 4-3 win over the Athletics. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: 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.
Jul 22 2021Raleigh isn't in the lineup Thursday against the Athletics. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Raleigh will be out of the lineup for the third time in the last four games after he went 2-for-15 with a double, two RBI and a run across his first four major-league appearances. Tom Murphy will take over behind the plate and bat sixth.
Jul 21 2021Raleigh isn't starting Wednesday's game against the Rockies. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Raleigh went 2-for-3 with a double, two RBI, a run and a walk in Tuesday's win over Colorado, but he'll retreat to the bench for the second time in the last three games. Tom Murphy will start at catcher and bat sixth.
Jul 18 2021Raleigh is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Angels. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: 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.
Jul 11 2021Raleigh was selected from Triple-A Tacoma on Sunday. He is catching and batting sixth in the series finale against the Angels. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: 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.
Jun 15 2021Raleigh 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. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The talented backstop is in the midst of his most productive season in affiliated ball yet, with his numbers standing in stark contrast to the .228/.296/.414 line he produced for Double-A Arkansas back in 2019. Raleigh's performance at the plate could well earn him a big-league promotion at some point in 2021 if it endures, especially considering that Tom Murphy, Luis Torrens and Jose Godoy have largely failed to distinguish themselves at the plate thus far.
Mar 7 2021Raleigh is 2-for-7 with a double, an RBI and a run across his first three Cactus League games. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: 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 in Friday's tie with the White Sox, during 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.
Jul 16 2020Raleigh 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." ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: 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 in 2020. 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."
Jun 5 2018The Mariners have selected Mize with the 90th overall pick in the 2018 first-year player draft.Raleigh bounced back at the plate in 2018 after a down 2017 campaign, posting a .326/.447/.583 slash line across 62 games. He is expected to remain a catcher professionally, but his power is his calling card, so there's a chance he could move elsewhere if things don't work out behind the plate.
