Luke Raley Fantasy Stats

Seattle Mariners outfielder Luke Raley continued his skid on Sunday, going 0-for-3 at the plate, and he's now hitless in his last 12 at-bats and is 1-for-19 (.053) over his last 10 games. Of course, as a career .232 hitter coming into the season, the 6-foot-3 slugger was probably overdue for some regression after starting the year 20-for-59 (.339). Still, with bat speed, hard-hit rate, barrel rate, and average exit velocity all 89th percentile or better, expect more home runs from the left-handed hitter, even if the batting average doesn't return. He's seen just two plate appearances against left-handed pitching all season, which puts a cap on his production ceiling in season-long leagues, although leagues with daily lineup changes alleviate that problem somewhat. With a career ISO of .216 and wRC+ of 127 against righties, though, he could be a solid DFS play on days where the Mariners have a high implied run total and are facing a right-hander.

Seattle Mariners first baseman/outfielder Luke Raley went 1-for-3 with a solo home run, a walk, and two additional runs scored in Saturday's 7-3 win over the Texas Rangers. His home run traveled 381 feet with an exit velocity of 112.7 mph. Raley is heating up and has homered twice over his last four games while logging multi-hit efforts in three of his last six contests. Overall, the 31-year-old is slashing .318/.375/.636 with five home runs, 13 RBI, 11 runs, and a 1.011 OPS over 20 games in 2026. Raley is known as a streaky hitter but is emerging as a hitter to add off the waiver wire while he's swinging a hot bat. He is currently rostered in 22% of Yahoo Fantasy leagues, but is more of a streamer and an option in deep leagues. Raley is currently ranked 83rd in the latest waiver wire rankings for RotoBaller.

Seattle Mariners outfielder Luke Raley went 1-for-3 with a walk on Tuesday in a 4-1 loss to the Padres, and is now 7-for-12 (.583) over his last three games. The left-handed slugger began the year by hitting a home run in three straight games, and is now slashing .296/.356/.556 with seven extra-base hits this season with a .401 wOBA and 165 wRC+. The trouble for season-long fantasy is that he doesn't get much play against left-handed pitchers, and so far this season, it is pretty extreme, with the 31-year-old logging just one plate appearance against southpaws compared to 58 PA against right-handers. Still, interested managers looking for some power production can find him on the waiver wire in 90 percent of Yahoo! leagues, and the Mariners don't face a left-handed starter until this coming Sunday.

Seattle Mariners outfielder/designated hitter Luke Raley is expected to be on the strong side of a platoon in right field and at DH with Dominic Canzone in 2026, according to Adam Jude of The Seattle Times. "But as a baseline, I would expect to see Luke and Dom against righties, and Vic and Rob against lefties," general manager Justin Hollander said. Right-handed hitting outfielders Victor Robles and Rob Refsnyder will platoon in right field and at DH against lefties. Raley has hit .178/.246/.282 with a .528 OPS and 55 wRC+ against lefties, while slashing .242/.333/.453 with a .786 OPS and 126 wRC+ versus righties. The 31-year-old veteran missed half of last year with back and oblique injuries. He was more successful against righties, but overall, he hit a disappointing .202 with only four dingers and 19 RBI. If he's healthier in 2026, Raley could be a sneaky source of power in AL-only fantasy leagues.

Seattle Mariners first baseman/outfielder Luke Raley (side) left Wednesday night's game in Tampa Bay in the seventh inning due to some tightness in his side. Raley had just entered the game a few innings earlier as a defensive replacement for Josh Naylor in the fourth inning. Raley missed time early in August with back spasms, and he was lifted from this game out as a precaution. Since returning, he is just 1-for-17 in 12 games with a walk and an RBI. He hasn't gotten regular playing time and hasn't made the most of his opportunities since returning, so he isn't mixed-league material at this point. It's been a disappointing season for the 30-year-old lefty, who is hitting .203 with just four home runs after hitting 19 and 22 homers the last two seasons with a batting average over .240.

Seattle Mariners first baseman/outfielder Luke Raley (back) is starting a minor-league rehab assignment on Friday with the Triple-A Tacoma Rainiers, according to Seattle Sports' Shannon Drayer. Barring a setback this weekend, Raley could come off the 10-day injured to rejoin the Mariners early next week. The 30-year-old veteran left-handed hitter was put on the shelf in late July due to back spasms. When Raley returns to the M's, he'll battle for playing time in right field with Dominic Canzone against right-handed pitchers, but fantasy managers in mixed leagues will continue to ignore him. In his second year with Seattle, Raley has been a part-time player and has slashed a weak .220/.343/.348 with only four home runs, 18 RBI, 19 runs scored and two stolen bases in 170 trips to the plate.

Seattle Mariners outfielder/first baseman Luke Raley (back) will start a hitting progression on Tuesday and will hopefully start a minor-league rehab assignment this weekend, according to Ryan Divish of The Seattle Times. Raley was placed on the 10-day injured list on July 30 with back spasms but he is working way back and could rejoin the Mariners as early as next week, barring a setback during his rehab assignment this weekend. When the 30-year-old left-handed slugger returns, he'll be searching for playing time between designated hitter and right field for the M's when they face right-handed pitchers. Raley's inconsistent playing time and mediocre bat don't make him much of an option for fantasy managers in mixed leagues. He's currently hitting just .220/.343/.348 with four home runs, 18 RBI and 19 runs scored in his 49 games for Seattle.

Seattle Mariners first baseman/outfielder Luke Raley (back) will go on the 10-day injured list Wednesday when the team officially calls up first baseman Tyler Locklear from Triple-A Tacoma, manager Dan Wilson said. Raley is dealing with back stiffness and hasn't appeared in a game since last Wednesday. The 30-year-old smacked a career-high 22 home runs last season, but he hasn't been much of a factor in 2025. Raley has put up a .220/.343/.348 line with four homers, 18 RBI, 19 runs scored, and two stolen bases in 170 plate appearances.

MLB.com's Daniel Kramer reports that the Seattle Mariners are activating outfielder Luke Raley (oblique) from the injured list ahead of their road series opener with the Chicago Cubs. First baseman Rowdy Tellez was designated for assignment in a corresponding move. Raley has been on the mend since late April with an oblique strain, but he's ready to return from his lengthy absence after going 7-for-19 with a double and a home run in five minor-league rehab games. The Lake Erie College product struggled to a .206/.345/.324 triple slash in 24 games before his injury. However, it's worth mentioning that he's vastly underperformed his xBA (.260) and xSLG (.432).

The Seattle Times' Adam Jude reports that Seattle Mariners first baseman/outfielder Luke Raley (oblique) is on the verge of being activated from the 10-day injured list and could return this weekend for a series against the Chicago Cubs. When he does return, the 30-year-old left-handed slugger is expected to be in the strong side of a platoon in Seattle in right field. He has gone 7-for-19 with a home run and a double in five minor-league rehab games with Triple-A Tacoma. Fantasy managers in shallow formats can continue to ignore Raley, who will be returning to just a .206/.345/.324 slash line with two round-trippers, eight RBI and 10 runs scored in his 68 at-bats. In addition to being able to play right field, Raley could be used at first base and designated hitter by the M's. His power can be useful in deeper fantasy formats after he hit a career-high 22 homers in 2024.
