Optioned to Triple-A Raley was optioned to Triple-A Oklahoma City on Thursday.
Impact Raley spent just under a week with the big-league club and appeared in three games during that time. He went 1-for-6 with four strikeouts while serving in a depth role, and he'll now head back to the minors after left-hander Garrett Cleavinger (forearm) was reinstated from the injured list Thursday.

Max Muncy on Dodgers' injured list with right oblique strain
First baseman Max Muncy is going on the Los Angeles Dodgers’ injured list with a right oblique strainJUNE 13, 2021 • ASSOCIATED PRESS
Rejoins Dodgers Raley was recalled from Triple-A Oklahoma prior to Saturday's game against the Rangers, Eric Stephen of SBNation.com reports.
Impact With Max Muncy forced to go on the injured list with a right-oblique strain, a spot opened up for Raley to return to the big leagues. Raley posted a subpar .182/.280/.273 slash line across 50 plate appearances during his previous stints with the big club this season, so he'll look to find more success at the dish this time around.

Sent to Triple-A Raley was optioned to Triple-A Oklahoma City on Friday.
Impact The bat-first slugger only logged eight at-bats over the past week, primarily seeing work as a pinch hitter. He will serve as organizational depth at Triple-A, but we may not see him again soon with Cody Bellinger and Zach McKinstry embarking on rehab assignments.

Are the Dodgers back on track to be the National League's best?
After a terrible three-week stretch, the Dodgers might have righted themselves with one dramatic swing, Pedro Moura writes.MAY 14, 2021
Recalled from Triple-A Raley was recalled Wednesday from Triple-A Oklahoma City.
Impact The rookie outfielder replaces Keibert Ruiz, who was sent down Monday, on the active roster. Raley, who has hit just .206 in 34 at-bats this season, figures to fill a part-time role in the Dodgers' injury-troubled outfield.
MAY 11, 2021 • ROTOWIRE
Reports to minors Raley was optioned to the Dodgers' taxi squad following Tuesday's doubleheader with the Cubs, Eric Stephen of SBNation.com reports.
Impact Designated as the Dodgers' 27th man for the twin bill, Raley went unused in both contests. He'll likely stick with the Dodgers for the remaining four games of its road trip before reporting to Triple-A Oklahoma City next week.
MAY 5, 2021 • ROTOWIRE
Called up as extra man Raley will join the Dodgers as the 27th man for the second half of Tuesday's doubleheader against the Cubs, Juan Toribio of MLB.com reports.
Impact Raley received his first 39 MLB plate appearances in April but didn't do much with them, hitting just .206/.308/.324. He'll serve as a bench bat in the nightcap.
MAY 4, 2021 • ROTOWIRE
Optioned to alternate camp Raley was optioned to the Dodgers' alternate training site Thursday.
Impact Raley had started five of the last seven games, and he slashed .206/.308/.324 with a home run, two RBI and 12 strikeouts in 14 games during his time on the active roster. However, he'll now return to the team's alternate training site after right-hander Mitch White was reinstated from the COVID-19 injured list in a corresponding move.

Steps into Thursday's lineup Raley will start in right field and bat eighth Thursday against the Padres, Eric Stephen of SBNation.com reports.
Impact Zach McKinstry (back) was a late scratch from the lineup, forcing Raley into a starting role. The Dodgers are also without Chris Taylor (back), Gavin Lux (wrist) and Cody Bellinger (leg), which could give Raley the opportunity for increased playing time in the short term.

Takes seat Sunday Raley is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Padres.
Impact Raley will take a seat after going 3-for-13 with a home run while starting each of the past three games in left field. Though he'll bow out of the lineup with lefty Blake Snell on the mound for the Padres, the lefty-hitting Raley could still see semi-regular work against right-handed pitching while two everyday players in Cody Bellinger (lower leg) and Gavin Lux (wrist) are both on the shelf.

Betts makes diving grab as Dodgers beat Padres 2-0

Hits first big-league homer Raley went 2-for-6 with a home run and two RBI in Friday's victory over the Padres.
Impact The rookie got the Dodgers on the board in the fifth inning with a 436-foot solo shot for his first major-league home run. He drove in another run in the 12th inning on an infield single. Raley hit 20 homers in the minors in 2018, so he has the ability to provide some power when given the chance to play. The 26-year-old may not have many opportunities when the Dodgers return to full health, however.

Seager's homer in 12th sends Dodgers to 11-6 win over Padres

Summoned to majors Raley was recalled prior to Friday's game against the Nationals, J.P. Hoornstra of the Los Angeles Daily News reports.
Impact This is the corresponding move to Cody Bellinger (left calf contusion) landing on the 10-day injured list. Raley has big raw power and is a shaky defensive option, so he will primarily provide left-handed power off the bench, although he could see the occassional start in the outfield corners while Bellinger is on the shelf.

Heads to minor-league camp The Dodgers optioned Raley to their minor-league camp Monday, Eric Stephen of SBNation.com reports.
Impact Raley is expected to report to Triple-A Oklahoma City as he begins his second stint in the Los Angeles organization in 2021. The Dodgers -- who previously selected Raley in the seventh round of the 2016 first-year player draft -- reacquired him from the Twins last February, but he didn't get the chance to play in 2020 due to the cancellation of the minor-league season.
