Luke Raley - MLB News, Rumors, & Updates

Moved to 60-day IL The Mariners transferred Raley (forearm) to the 60-day injured list Wednesday, retroactive to July 31.

Impact The move opens up a spot on the 40-man roster for 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 if he recovers enough from a left forearm strain. He'll finish the 2026 regular season with a .225/.284/.439 slash line with one steal, 15 home runs and 39 RBI over 287 plate appearances.

Likely done for season 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...

Impact 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 place outfielder Luke Raley on the injured list with left forearm strain

The Seattle Mariners placed outfielder Luke Raley on the 10-day injured list on Saturday due to a left forearm strain

AUGUST 1 • Associated Press

Placed on injured list The Mariners placed Raley (elbow) on the 10-day injured list Saturday, Shannon Drayer of SeattleSports.com reports.

Impact 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 likely to take over as Seattle's primary right fielder.

Sitting again Saturday Raley (elbow) isn't in the lineup for Saturday's game against the Twins.

Impact The 31-year-old's absence Saturday could be attributed to southpaw Connor Prielipp starting on the mound for Minnesota, but Raley will get another day to recover from elbow soreness all the same. Dominic Canzone will start in right field as a result, moving Cal Raleigh into the DH spot while Mitch Garver starts at catcher.

Nursing elbow injury Raley is not in the Mariners' starting lineup against the Twins on Friday due to elbow soreness, Ryan Divish of The Seattle Times reports.

Impact Raley likely picked up the injury during the Mariners' most recent series against the Dodgers. He'll be on the bench for Friday's series opener while Victor Robles starts in right field and bats ninth.

JULY 19 • Associated Press

Hits go-ahead homer Raley went 1-for-2 with a solo home run in Sunday's 6-3 win over the Giants.

Impact Raley came off the bench for Weston Wilson in the sixth inning and delivered a go-ahead homer. Raley had gone 21 games without a long balls, batting just .164 with three RBI and a 3:20 BB:K in that span. He's hitting .230 with a .746 OPS, 15 homers, 37 RBI, 26 runs scored, one stolen base, nine doubles and a triple over 85 contests. The recent downward trend could lead to him becoming a bench bat if he doesn't turn things around, though he should still see a decent amount of time against right-handed pitchers as a left-handed hitter.

JULY 19 • ROTOWIRE

Heading to bench Sunday Raley is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Rays.

Impact With southpaw Ian Seymour on the bump for the Rays, the left-handed-hitting Raley will take a seat for the first time since June 30. Weston Wilson will get the nod in right field in place of Raley, who went 5-for-30 with a 0:11 BB:K while starting the Mariners' first nine games of the month.

Back in action Thursday Raley (forearm) will start in right field and bat seventh Thursday against the Angels.

Impact 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.

JUNE 30 • ROTOWIRE

Remaining out of lineup Raley (forearm) remains out of the lineup for Monday's contest versus the Angels.

Impact It's the second straight start Raley has missed as he deals with soreness in his left (non-throwing) forearm. He is considered day-to-day. Victor Robles will grab another start in right field for the Mariners while Raley rests.

JUNE 29 • ROTOWIRE

Out Sunday with elbow discomfort Raley is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Guardians due to elbow discomfort, Ryan Divish of The Seattle Times reports.

Impact Though he played the full nine innings while going 0-for-3 with a walk over four plate appearances in Saturday's 4-3 loss, 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 his elbow, clearing the way for Victor Robles to pick up a start in right field in the series finale in Cleveland.
