Luke Raley - Hitting bench Wednesday Raley is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Tigers. Impact The Tigers are expected to use a left-handed primary pitcher out of the bullpen (Bryan Sammons) for Wednesday's contest, so the lefty-hitting Raley will begin the contest on the bench. Even against traditional right-handed starters, Raley's opportunities could become more limited moving forward, especially while Julio Rodriguez remains limited to designated-hitter duties following his recent return from the injured list. With Rodriguez occupying the DH spot for now, Raley will have to vie with Justin Turner for at-bats at first base and with Dominic Canzone and Mitch Haniger for reps in right field.
