Overview
- Raleigh hit two home runs, including a grand slam, and drove in six runs for Triple-A Tacoma in a rehab game on June 9, a performance reported by multiple outlets and highlighted by MiLB and Tacoma Rainiers coverage.
- The catcher remains on Seattle’s 10-day injured list for a right oblique strain and began his staged rehab at High-A Everett before moving to Triple-A Tacoma for further evaluation under live-game conditions.
- The Mariners have targeted the June 16 homestand as the earliest possible activation date but say any return will depend on Raleigh’s post-game reactions to game stress and continued, pain-free swings.
- Seattle has managed near the top of the AL West without Raleigh, while backup catcher Mitch Garver has underperformed offensively, making Raleigh’s health and timing materially important for the club’s lineup balance.
- Oblique strains can show promising early signs yet still produce delayed setbacks, so the club plans to monitor Raleigh’s catching workload, throwing and day-to-day soreness before making a roster move.
