Slugs seventh homer in win Raleigh went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run in a win over the Astros on Wednesday.
Impact 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.

Dumps four big runs on Astros Raleigh went 2-for-4 with a home run and four RBI in Monday's 7-4 win against the Astros.
Impact 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.

Launches solo shot Raleigh went 2-for-3 with a solo home run and a double in Friday's 4-3 win over the Rangers.
Impact 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.

Drives in three Tuesday Raleigh went 1-for-4 with an RBI sacrifice fly, a two-run single and a run in a win over the Orioles on Tuesday.
Impact 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.

Slugs fourth homer in win Raleigh went 2-for-4 with a two-run home run in a win over the Athletics on Monday.
Impact 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.

Sits after two straight starts Raleigh is out of the lineup for Thursday's game against the Red Sox.
Impact 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.

Breaks skid with homer Raleigh went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run Sunday in the Mariners' 8-7 win over the Mets.
Impact 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.

Recalled by Seattle Raleigh was recalled from Triple-A Tacoma on Saturday.
Impact 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.

Sent to minors The Mariners optioned Raleigh to Triple-A Tacoma on Thursday.
Impact Though Raleigh received the start behind the dish Opening Day, he's essentially been part of a three-way timeshare at catcher with Tom Murphy and Luis Torrens throughout the season. He didn't make consecutive starts over any of the Mariners' first 18 contests of the season, appearing in nine games in total while going 2-for-24 with a 32.1 percent strikeout rate. Raleigh should receive more consistent playing time at Tacoma, while his demotion clears the way for both Murphy and Torrens to take on larger roles at catcher at the big-league level.
APRIL 28, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Sitting Tuesday Raleigh is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Rays.
Impact 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.
