Luke Raley Fantasy Stats

Seattle Mariners first baseman/outfielder Luke Raley (forearm) is starting in right field and will bat seventh in his return to the starting lineup on Thursday against the division-rival Los Angeles Angels and right-hander Walbert Urena, according to MLB.com. Raley will return for the M's after sitting out the last three games due to soreness in his left forearm. Due to injuries and poor play recently, the 31-year-old veteran left-handed slugger is only rostered in 12% of Yahoo leagues with the first half of the 2026 season winding down. All 14 of Raley's home runs this year have come against right-handed pitching, but he's coming off a month of June that saw him hit a putrid .125 (7-for-56) with one homer, two doubles, four RBI, three runs scored, four walks, and 20 strikeouts in 19 games across 61 plate appearances. Nobody should be in a rush to throw him back into their starting lineups, especially not in DFS. Raley has never faced Urena in his career.

Seattle Mariners first baseman/outfielder Luke Raley (forearm) is sitting out for a third straight game due to a forearm injury in Tuesday's game against the division-rival Los Angeles Angels, per MLB.com. Weston Wilson is making the start in right field for the M's and is batting ninth against Angels right-hander Jose Soriano. Raley remains day-to-day for now, and it's unclear if his forearm injury is serious enough to land him on the 10-day injured list. The left-handed-hitting slugger has been pretty beat up of late and has hit just .125 (7-for-56) with a homer, two doubles, four RBI, three runs scored, four walks, and 20 strikeouts in 19 games played during June. Raley is now only rostered in 13% of Yahoo leagues after his tough month of June. His upside is limited in mixed fantasy leagues because he's in a platoon in Seattle's outfield against right-handed pitchers. Despite a .283 average (49-for-206) on the year, Raley does have some value for his left-handed pop (14 homers) in the right matchups when he's in the starting lineup.

Seattle Mariners first baseman/outfielder Luke Raley (forearm) is out of the starting nine for Monday's series opener against the division-rival Los Angeles Angels, according to MLB.com. It is the second straight start that Raley will miss due to soreness in his left forearm. Victor Robles is starting in right field again and will bat eighth against Angels right-hander Ryan Johnson. Raley should be considered day-to-day and could return to the starting lineup as early as Game 2 of the series at T-Mobile Park on Tuesday. The 31-year-old veteran left-handed slugger has interesting pop, but he lacks a ton of fantasy upside in mixed leagues because he doesn't play regularly against left-handed pitchers. In 206 at-bats this year, he's slashing .238/.302/.485 with a .788 OPS, 14 home runs, 35 RBI, 25 runs scored, and a stolen base in 73 games played. Raley has been awful in 19 games (61 plate appearances) in June, going 7-for-56 (.125) with a homer, two doubles, four RBI, three runs scored, four walks, and 20 strikeouts.

Seattle Mariners first baseman/outfielder Luke Raley (elbow) is out of the lineup for Sunday's series finale against the hosting Cleveland Guardians due to some elbow discomfort, according to Ryan Divish of The Seattle Times. Raley tweaked his elbow on a swing on Saturday night, and it's something he has dealt with before. Outfielder Dominic Canzone is also getting Sunday off to rest his hamstring. Victor Robles will draw into the starting lineup in right field for the M's and will bat ninth against Guardians right-hander Gavin Williams. Raley played all nine innings in Saturday's 4-3 loss in Cleveland, going 0-for-3 with a walk in his four plate appearances. It doesn't sound like Raley's injury is very serious, so he could be right back in action for Monday's series opener at home against the division-rival Los Angeles Angels. Raley rarely faces left-handed pitchers, but he's hitting .243 (46-for-189) with 14 homers, 35 RBI, and 24 runs scored in 209 plate appearances versus right-handed hurlers this year, making him useful for his power from the left side in deeper leagues. He's rostered in 15% of Yahoo leagues.

Seattle Mariners outfielder Luke Raley (illness) is starting in right field for Seattle and will bat sixth against the hosting Pittsburgh Pirates and right-hander Mitch Keller at PNC Park on Tuesday, according to MLB.com. Raley missed three games against the Baltimore Orioles last week with tightness in his back and then missed the entire series over the weekend against the Boston Red Sox due to the flu, so this will be his first game back in the lineup since June 14. With the 31-year-old left-handed-hitting outfielder feeling better and back in action, he'll be an option in DFS lineups against a right-hander. The former seventh-round pick of the Los Angeles Dodgers in 2016 out of Lake Erie College doesn't play much against southpaws, but he has done plenty of damage against righties, going 44-for-176 (.250) with all 14 of his home runs and all 35 of his RBI this year. Raley is rostered in only 16% of Yahoo leagues because he's not an everyday player, but his pop against righties is significant enough to warrant a roster spot in deeper leagues for outfield depth.

Seattle Mariners outfielder Luke Raley (illness) remains out of the starting lineup ahead of Saturday's game against the Boston Red Sox. Raley was expected to return on Saturday, but he'll miss his fifth straight game with the flu. The Mariners are still calling him day-to-day, so Raley shouldn't require a trip to the Injured List. Rob Refsnyder and Connor Joe will cover the corner outfield spots against southpaw Connelly Early on Saturday. Fantasy managers should check back on Sunday for another update on Raley. When healthy, Raley has been a pleasant surprise with 14 home runs.

Seattle Mariners outfielder Luke Raley (back) is not ready to rejoin the starting lineup in Thursday's series finale against the visiting Baltimore Orioles, per MLB.com. With Randy Arozarena (hamstring) on the injured list and Julio Rodriguez (hamstring) dealing with hamstring spasms, the M's will roll with an outfield of Miles Mastrobuoni in left field, Victor Robles in center, and Dominic Canzone in right on Thursday against Orioles right-hander Shane Baz. Raley will be missing his third straight game, and if he continues to be unavailable going into the weekend series against the Boston Red Sox, he could be a candidate to join Arozarena on the IL. The 31-year-old left-handed slugger rarely plays against left-handed pitchers, but he is producing plenty of power against righties for fantasy managers, currently hitting .241/.303/.503 with an .806 OPS, 14 home runs, 35 RBI, 24 runs scored, and a stolen base in his 191 at-bats in 2026. Raley is currently rostered in 21% of Yahoo leagues.

Seattle Mariners outfielder Luke Raley (back) will sit out a second straight game due to a back injury on Wednesday against the visiting Baltimore Orioles, per MLB.com. Raley was scratched from Tuesday's contest at T-Mobile Park with back tightness. Victor Robles is starting in right field and batting sixth, while Connor Joe will start in left field and hit eighth against Orioles right-hander Kyle Bradish. The M's are thin in the outfield this week with Raley nursing a back injury and Randy Arozarena (hamstring) landing on the injured list on Tuesday. For now, fantasy managers in deeper leagues should consider Raley day-to-day with his back ailment and check back for Thursday's series finale against the O's to see if he's ready to return to the lineup. The 31-year-old left-handed hitter typically only plays when the M's are facing a right-hander, which limits his fantasy upside. Raley has still managed 14 home runs on the season with a .241/.303/.503 slash line, .806 OPS, 35 RBI, 24 runs, and a stolen base in his 191 at-bats. Raley is on pace to set a new career high in long balls, with his previous high-water mark coming in 2024 with 22 bombs.

Seattle Mariners outfielder Luke Raley (back) is sitting out of Tuesday's series opener against the visiting Baltimore Orioles due to back tightness, according to Adam Jude of The Seattle Times. Dominic Canzone is starting in right field for the M's and will hit cleanup against Orioles right-hander Brandon Young. For now, we'll consider Raley to be day-to-day. If he's feeling better on Wednesday, he could be right back in the lineup against Baltimore right-hander Kyle Bradish. In his sixth year in the majors and third year with Seattle, Raley is on pace to set a new career high in home runs. Through 66 games in 2026 across 210 plate appearances, the left-handed slugger is slashing .241/.303/.503 with an .806 OPS, 14 home runs, 35 RBI, 24 runs scored, and a stolen base. The power is nice from the left side, but the fact that he rarely faces left-handers limits his overall fantasy upside in mixed leagues. Raley has gone just 2-for-16 (.125) with none of his 14 home runs against lefties this season.

Seattle Mariners first baseman/outfielder Luke Raley continues to show off his impressive power upside. On Saturday, Raley went 2-for-3 with a solo home run and a single in the 5-1 win over the Arizona Diamondbacks. Raley has homered in back-to-back games and has three homers over his last five games. The left-handed slugger has been showing off some impressive power this season with 13 blasts across 53 games. He's mainly a platoon bat right now, sharing right field with Victor Robles. Raley might not play every day, but he offers enough power upside to warrant looking at him in deep leagues.
