Cal Raleigh

Right oblique strain placed Raleigh on the IL May 14. He begins a rehab assignment today (June 7) with High-A Everett as the designated hitter — a structured approach that protects the oblique while keeping his bat active — before transitioning to Triple-A Tacoma on June 9. Projected return: around June 16.

NEW: 10-day IL with right oblique strain — first IL stint of his career. The injury surfaced May 2 (he missed 3 games) and was aggravated in Wednesday's loss. He'll undergo evaluation back in Seattle. Oblique strains in catchers typically take 4-6 weeks minimum. Jhonny Pereda recalled.

NEW: Removed from Wednesday's game in the 8th inning grabbing at his right side. Second flare-up in two weeks (missed three games earlier this month). Manager Wilson called it 'precautionary' but an IL stint is likely after Thursday's reassessment. Oblique injuries in catchers typically mean 4-6 weeks minimum.
