Mariners' Cal Raleigh Returns to Lineup vs Braves After Injury Absence

Published May 5, 2026 · Updated May 5, 2026 · Yahoo Sport

Mariners catcher Cal Raleigh returns to the lineup Tuesday night batting second against the Atlanta Braves after missing three games with side tightness.

Raleigh had been sidelined since May 1 with soreness, though he avoided an immediate stint on the injured list following an MRI. Manager Scott Servais is expected to use him as the designated hitter initially to test his recovery progress.

The veteran backstop downplayed the injury, stating he is feeling "good" and taking things "day by day." Despite a slow start to the 2026 season with a .186 batting average and seven home runs, Raleigh remains a key power source for Seattle. newsbetting.cv
