Launches 13th homer Raley went 2-for-3 with a solo homer and an additional run scored in Thursday's victory over the Diamondbacks.

Impact Raley got the scoring started with a solo shot off Brandon Pfaadt in the first inning. It's Raley's 13th homer of the year, though just his third in his last 25 games. Still, the 28-year-old outfielder has been productive in that span -- he's gone 21-for-62 (.339) since the start of June. Raley's now slashing an impressive .276/.354/.573 with 40 runs scored, 30 RBI and eight stolen bases through 210 plate appearances this season.

He owns an 1.156 OPS in the month of June but will nonetheless head to the bench after making three straight starts, once at first base and once at both of the outfield corners.

JUNE 17, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Crushes homer, scores twice Raley went 2-for-4 with a solo homer and two runs scored in Thursday's win over the Athletics.

Impact Raley got the offense going for the Rays Thursday, beginning with a single to right in the top of the second to advance Harold Ramirez to third. Both would then come around to score in the inning to put the Rays up 2-0 early. But the right fielder's work wasn't done yet as he later went on to crush a solo homer off Austin Pruitt in the eighth to help Tampa Bay jump back in front 3-2. With the two-hit performance, Raley is now batting .343 in June with two homers, six RBI and nine runs scored.

Instead, Randy Arozarena will rest his legs in the designated hitter spot while Harold Ramirez starts in left field.
