Luke Raley drove in three runs and picked up two hits in a blowout win for the Mariners on Saturday over the Rangers.
Luke Raley went 1-for-3 with a walk and also scored a run on Monday in a loss to the Brewers.
Raley offers double-digit home run and stolen base potential, which gives him some fantasy relevance in deeper mixed leagues. He’s a borderline OF5 option in shallow mixers with the chance to take another leap forward if he builds on last year’s 22-homer, 11-steal performance. He’s going to strike out roughly 30 percent of the time, which limits his batting average ceiling, but he’s a decent end-game dart throw in most leagues.
Luke Raley had an RBI double in the seventh and a game-tying, two-run homer off Mason Miller in the bottom of the ninth Saturday as the Mariners edged the A’s 7-6 in 10 innings.
The Mariners won on a routine grounder from Justin Turner in the 10th. Zack Gelof likely could have turned an inning-ending double play, preserving the tie, but he made the decision to throw home and failed to get Leo Rivas at the plate. Raley’s homer was his 22nd. He has a .787 OPS that’s easily the best mark of any of the 10 players to rack up 300 plate appearances for Seattle this year. Next on the list is Cal Raleigh at .741. Not even eligible for arbitration yet, Raley will almost surely be back with the Mariners as a platoon outfielder or first baseman next year.
Luke Raley drove in two runs and went 2-for-4 in a blowout win over the Cardinals on Sunday.
