Overview
- Raleigh, on a staged rehab from a right oblique strain, homered twice and drove in six runs while catching five innings for Triple‑A Tacoma in a 15-3 win on Tuesday.
- The second homer was a bases‑clearing grand slam and the first was a long two‑run shot off former Mariner Erasmo Ramírez, with Raleigh also running the bases during the outing.
- The Mariners ramped his workload quickly after a High‑A DH appearance on June 7, using live at‑bats, catching reps, throwing drills and base running to test the oblique.
- Seattle plans to keep Raleigh in Tacoma while the big club is on the road and will reassess him before the next homestand; the team could activate him if he continues to swing and move without pain.
- Raleigh entered the IL after a slow start to 2026 that left him with a low batting average but notable power, and his return would address thin catching depth as Mitch Garver has struggled offensively.
