Solid play continues Thursday Torrens, who went 1-for-3 in a win over the Athletics on Thursday, is now hitting .294 (5-for-17) over his last five games.

Impact The beginning of that stretch actually dates back to June 12, as Torrens continues to see only intermittent playing time while Cal Raleigh sees his opportunities expand behind the dish. With the news Tom Murphy (shoulder) will miss the rest of the season, however, Torrens should be assured of at least a serviceable amount of opportunity for the balance of the campaign.

Losing work to Raleigh Torrens will start at catcher and bat ninth in Wednesday's game against the Athletics.

Impact Though he'll be included in the lineup for the series finale, Torrens seems to have slipped behind Cal Raleigh on the depth chart at catcher. Torrens will be starting Wednesday for only the fourth time in nine games, with one of those starts coming as a designated hitter.

MAY 25, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Not starting Sunday Torrens is out of the lineup for Sunday's game at Boston.

Impact Torrens has a .467 OPS and 34 percent strikeout rate through 14 games in May and will head to the bench Sunday. Cal Raleigh will take over behind the plate and bat eighth.

MAY 22, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Not in Friday's lineup Torrens is out of the lineup for Friday's game against the Red Sox.

Impact Torrens will take a seat Friday for the third time in the past four games. Cal Raleigh will receive the start behind the plate, forming a battery with Robbie Ray.

Remains out of lineup Torrens isn't starting Wednesday against the Blue Jays.

Impact Torrens recently had a string of six consecutive starts in which he hit .263 with two runs, three walks and seven strikeouts, but he'll now retreat to the bench for the third time in the last four games. Cal Raleigh will start behind the plate and bat ninth.

MAY 18, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Heads to bench Torrens will sit Tuesday against Toronto.

Impact Torrens hits the bench for the second time in three games, a run which follows a stretch of six straight starts, including two as the designated hitter. Mike Ford will fill that spot Tuesday, while Cal Raleigh starts behind the plate.

Scores twice in Tuesday's win Torrens went 2-for-4 with two runs in a win over the Phillies on Tuesday.

Impact The previously struggling backstop snapped out of a multi-game slump with his first multi-hit effort of the season. Torrens had hit just .087 (2-for-23) with nine strikeouts over the previous seven games, so Tuesday's productive outing only served to lift his season slash line to .191/.220/.213.

Robbie Ray pitchers Mariners past Phillies 5-4

Back in lineup Sunday Torrens will start at catcher and bat seventh in Sunday's game against the Rays.

Impact Torrens sat out the Mariners' last two games, but with Tom Murphy (shoulder) moving to the 10-day injured list Saturday, the former is likely well positioned to maintain the top spot on the depth chart at catcher. The Mariners called up Cal Raleigh from Triple-A Tacoma to provide another body at the position, but he's unlikely to get a long look as the No. 1 option after slashing .077/.226/.192 through his first 31 plate appearances in the big leagues this season.

MAY 8, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Sits again Saturday Torrens remains on the bench Saturday against the Rays.

Impact Torrens theoretically has a clearer path to playing time behind the plate with Tom Murphy (shoulder) out with a dislocated shoulder. That won't be the case Saturday, however, as he'll sit for the second straight game with Cal Raleigh set to catch Marco Gonzales.
