The Seattle Mariners have been without catcher Cal Raleigh for a month, but he is expected to return to the lineup on Tuesday.

Raleigh is set to be reinstated from the IL and should be in the lineup against the Baltimore Orioles, according to Adam Jude of Seattle Times Sports.

Raleigh last played on May 13 against the Houston Astros before landing on the IL with an oblique injury.

Raleigh, who finished as the runner-up to Aaron Judge for the American League MVP award in 2025, has gotten off to a disastrous start this season.

The Mariners catcher hit just .161 with seven home runs and 18 RBI before landing on the IL. Raleigh even had a 0-for-38 hitless streak that finally came to an end on May 12, and he said he showered in full uniform in hopes of ending the slump.

In Raleigh’s absence, Seattle has been using Jhonny Pereda and Mitch Garver, although neither backstop is the quality of player that Raleigh is.

The Mariners entered Monday in first place in the American League West.
