Comes to life in spring finale Raley went 2-for-3 with a three-run double in a Cactus League tie with the Cubs on Sunday.

Impact Raley's acquisition in the Jose Caballero trade to the Rays was lauded at the time, given the 29-year-old's positional versatility and the fact he was coming off the best season of his career at the plate in 2023. However, an utterly forgettable start to Cactus League play that saw Raley go 1-for-23 over his first 10 exhibitions was the source of plenty of frustration. Nevertheless, Raley's bat came around over the latter portion of the Mariners' spring training slate, as he finished 6-for-17 with Sunday's two-bagger and three RBI over his last six contests. Jesus Cano of MLB.com reports that Raley is expected to have a key reserve role this season and serve as a left-handed source of power, and adds that manager Scott Servais never lost confidence in the offseason acquisition despite the early struggles. "He's really strong," Servais said. "You can see it even when he just misses them. He hits them high and he's going to be more consistent. I thought his at-bats were really good today."

Siri added to Rays' roster; injured Luke Raley out The Rays roster for the American League Wild Card Series against the Texas Rangers is below:

OCTOBER 3, 2023 • MLB.COM

Left off Rays' roster Raley (neck) is not on the Rays' Wild Card Series roster, Ryan Bass of Bally Sports Sun reports.

Impact Raley was able to take batting practice Monday and seemed to come out of it with no issues, but the Rays have decided to hold him back at least for this season. He's been dealing with a cervical strain. It's possible Raley could be added when the team resets their roster prior to the ALDS, presuming they advance.

OCTOBER 3, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Could be left off WC roster Raley (neck) could be left off the Rays' Wild Card Series roster, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

Impact Working his way back from a cervical strain, Raley took batting practice at Tropicana Field on Monday and felt good. However, he returned from the injury too quickly initially last month and had a setback, so the Rays want to make sure he's fully healthy before activating him. Because of that, it seems likely Raley will be held back until at least the ALDS, should the Rays advance. Raimel Tapia, Osleivis Basabe and Francisco Mejia are options to be included on the Rays' roster if Raley is indeed excluded.

OCTOBER 3, 2023 • TAMPABAY.COM

Takes batting practice Raley (neck) took batting practice Monday at Tropicana Field, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

Impact Raley has been on the shelf for the last couple weeks with a cervical strain but is trying to convince the Rays he's feeling well enough to be carried on their Wild Card Series roster. The 29-year-old hit .247/.337/.497 with 17 home runs in 363 plate appearances against right-handed pitching in 2023 and, if healthy, would figure to see regular action versus righties in the postseason.

OCTOBER 2, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Nears swinging workouts Raley (neck) is hoping to resume swinging a bat over the weekend, Tricia Whitaker of Bally Sports Sun reports.

Impact Raley is recovering from a cervical strain and can probably be ruled out for a return in the regular season, but there's a chance he might be ready for the Rays' first postseason series. The 29-year-old had delivered an .824 OPS with 19 homers and 14 steals in 118 games prior to being diagnosed with the injury last week.

SEPTEMBER 27, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Placed on IL The Rays placed Raley on the 10-day injured list Friday with a cervical strain, Ryan Bass of Bally Sports Sun reports.

Impact Raley hasn't started a game since colliding with a staff member during batting practice last Saturday, and he reported numbness in his arm following a pinch hit appearance Wednesday. Raley's move to the injured list is retroactive to Thursday, so he will still be eligible to return for the final game of the season Oct. 1, but there's a chance the Rays keep him on the shelf until the postseason.

SEPTEMBER 22, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Will miss time with neck issue Rays manager Kevin Cash said Thursday that Raley will miss some time due to a neck issue, Tricia Whitaker of Bally Sports Sun reports.

Impact It's not clear yet whether Raley will be placed on the injured list, but at the very least it sounds like he will be on the shelf for several days. He had been set to receive an MRI after his left arm felt numb during a pinch-hitting appearance Wednesday. That the Rays are now calling it a neck issue suggests it could be some sort of nerve problem. He hasn't started a game since Sept. 15.

SEPTEMBER 21, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Absent from lineup Raley (arm) is absent from the lineup for Thursday's game against the Angels, Steve Carney of StPeteNine.com reports.

Impact Raley had been set to undergo an MRI on his left arm after it went numb during a pinch-hitting appearance Wednesday. The results of that exam haven't been revealed, but Raley at the very least will miss his fifth straight start. He was sidelined previously with an undisclosed injury after colliding with a staff member pregame Saturday, although it's not clear whether the two issues are related.

SEPTEMBER 21, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Getting MRI on Thursday Raley will get an MRI on his left arm Thursday, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

Impact Raley said his left arm went numb after making a pinch hit appearance in the seventh inning of Wednesday's game. He hadn't appeared in a game since Saturday when he collided with a team staff member during pregame batting practice, and the Rays believe Raley's recent arm problems are likely a result of the collision. More will be known regarding Raley's status when his MRI results come back Thursday, but fantasy managers should consider him day-to-day until then.

SEPTEMBER 21, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Not in Wednesday's lineup Raley (undisclosed) is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Angels.

Impact Raley hasn't seen the field since Friday after he collided with a team staff member while catching flyballs ahead of Saturday's contest. The 29-year-old may not have been in the lineup Wednesday regardless of the injury since lefty Reid Detmers is pitching for the Halos.

SEPTEMBER 20, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Out of lineup Tuesday Raley (undisclosed) remains out of the lineup for Tuesday's game versus the Angels, Kristie Ackert of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

Impact He might not have started, anyway, since the Angels are throwing left-hander Patrick Sandoval. Raley has now been out of the lineup for three straight days after he collided with a staff member during pregame batting practice Saturday.

SEPTEMBER 19, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Remains sidelined Sunday Raley (undisclosed) remains absent from the lineup Sunday versus the Orioles.

Impact Raley was scratched Saturday following a collision with a staff member during pregame batting practice. There's no word yet as to the exact nature of the injury. Jonathan Aranda will fill the DH role for the Rays on Sunday as Randy Arozarena, Manuel Margot and Josh Lowe start across the outfield.

SEPTEMBER 17, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Scratched from lineup Raley was scratched from Saturday's lineup against the Orioles, Jacob Calvin Meyer of The Baltimore Sun reports.

Impact Raley collided with a team staff member while catching fly balls during practice and has been scratched as a result. Josh Lowe entered the lineup in right field and will hit cleanup.

SEPTEMBER 16, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Delivers decisive deep fly Raley went 2-for-3 with a solo homer and an additional run scored in Thursday's 4-3 win over the Orioles.

Impact The 28-year-old reached on an infield single and scored Tampa Bay's first run in the third before blasting a seventh-inning solo shot, which ultimately proved to be the difference-maker Thursday. The long ball snapped Raley's 15-game homerless drought, during which he hit just .196 and struck out in 32.7 percent of his at-bats. Raley now owns a .251/.336/.494 slash line with 19 home runs, 49 RBI, 56 runs and 14 steals across 116 games on the campaign.

Luke Raley crushes a solo home run to give the Rays a lead against the Orioles

SEPTEMBER 15, 2023 • FOX SPORTS

Idle against southpaw Raley is not in the lineup for Wednesday's game versus the Twins.

Impact Raley will begin this one on the bench for the Rays as the Twins send left-hander Dallas Keuchel to the hill. Josh Lowe will handle center field in a rare start for him versus a southpaw.

SEPTEMBER 13, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Idle Saturday Raley isn't in the Rays' lineup Friday against the Mariners.

Impact Raley will get a breather Friday after going 1-for-3 in Thursday's series opener. Raley's absence will allow Harold Ramirez to step in as Tampa Bay's designated hitter while batting third.

SEPTEMBER 8, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Hits bench Tuesday Raley is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Red Sox.

Impact Even though the right-handed Kutter Crawford is on the hill for Boston, the lefty-hitting Raley will cede his spot in the lineup to Jonathan Aranda, who gets the nod as the Rays' designated hitter. Over his last 15 games, Raley has mustered a .625 OPS while striking out at a 43.9 percent clip.
