Luke Raley Hits Mammoth Home Run as He Continues to Work Back For Seattle Mariners

The 30-year-old, who was acquired from the Tampa Bay Rays last offseason, has played in just 24 games this season, hitting .206 with two homers and eight RBIs. A versatile player with power, he's a big part of what the Mariners do offensively, and they'll look forward to having him back in the fold, which looks like it could come within a matter of days.

Manager Dan Wilson addressed Raley's rehab in a pregame interview on Tuesday. You can read that here.

Thus far, Raley has gone 5-for-14 (.357) with a homer, a double and three runs scored.

Lifetime, he's a .235 hitter with 46 homers, 22 of which came in 2024. However, when he returns, there are questions about how the team will use him, now that they have Rowdy Tellez at first base and Dominic Canzone manning right field.

The Mariners enter play on Wednesday at 37-35 overall and in second place in the American League West. They are also in possession of the third wild-card spot.

They'll take on the Boston Red Sox on Wednesday afternoon at 1:10 p.m. PT as Luis Castillo pitches against Garrett Crochet. Castillo is 4-4 with a 3.29 ERA while Crochet, one of the best strikeout artists in the game, is 6-4 with a 2.24.
