Overview
- Cal Raleigh has taken 30 moderate swings off a tee, is throwing and catching in Arizona, and will travel to Seattle for an evaluation before any decision on a rehab assignment is made.
- Brendan Donovan is rehabbing a left groin strain on an AlterG anti‑gravity treadmill and will move to on‑field baseball running only if he remains pain free during the next few days.
- The Mariners expect both players to require minor‑league rehab assignments before rejoining the big‑league roster and have not set firm return dates for either.
- Other medical checks include a repeat MRI for Carlos Vargas before ramping up, Miles Mastrobuoni beginning a Triple‑A rehab stint for calf issues, and Will Wilson slated to start a rehab assignment soon.
- The organization says it is avoiding calendar‑driven returns because prior setbacks and Donovan’s October 2025 sports‑hernia surgery increase risk for groin and core re‑injury, which could affect catcher and utility depth.
