Cal Raleigh Stats

Seattle Mariners catcher Cal Raleigh (thumb) made his spring debut in Tuesday's 9-8 win over the Guardians. Batting fifth, Raleigh went 0-for-3 with two strikeouts. The 26-year-old had surgery this off-season for a broken left thumb and torn ligaments, so he has been intentionally eased into action. Raleigh provided power from a weak fantasy position in 2022, slashing .211/.284/.489 with 27 home runs and 63 RBI in 415 plate appearances. While he will hurt fantasy managers in average, his power makes him a useful fantasy player in deeper leagues.

Seattle Mariners catcher Cal Raleigh (thumb) is scheduled to make his Cactus League debut on Tuesday to catch starter Luis Castillo against the Cleveland Guardians. The Mariners have been holding Raleigh back a bit in camp as a precaution. Raleigh needed surgery for a broken left thumb and torn ligaments in the offseason, but he's been doing baseball activities in spring training and should be ready for the start of the 2023 season, barring any setbacks in camp. The 26-year-old backstop hit just .211 in 2022, but he also led all catchers with 27 home runs, so he should be a highly coveted power bat at the shallowest position in fantasy. It also helps that he's in one of the better lineups in the American League.

Seattle Mariners catcher Cal Raleigh (thumb) underwent offseason surgery on his left thumb. Raleigh was able to catch left-hander Marco Gonzales' bullpen session on Tuesday in Arizona without any issues, though, so he should be ready for the start of the 2023 season. The 26-year-old still hasn't been cleared for full baseball activities, so he could be slightly behind the other catchers in camp. His surgery took place last fall and addressed a broken left thumb and a torn ligament in his hand. Raleigh clubbed 27 home runs and drove in 63 runs in 119 games in just his second MLB season for Seattle in 2022, so he'll be pretty attractive as a low-end starting catcher in fantasy drafts this spring, assuming he has no setbacks with his thumb in spring training.
