Cal Raleigh of the Seattle Mariners is expected to play in tonight’s game against the Cincinnati Reds, as the catcher does not appear on the team’s injury report for April 16. The Seattle Mariners’ power-hitting catcher has been one of the team’s most consistent offensive performers recently, batting .250 with three doubles and four home runs over the past 10 games. Cal Raleigh has been leading the Seattle Mariners with five home runs this season and will look to add to that total as Seattle tries to bounce back from Tuesday’s 8-4 loss when they face the Cincinnati Reds tonight at Great American Ball Park.
Cal Raleigh emerges as a key offensive threat for the struggling Seattle Mariners’ lineup
In the early part of the 2025 season, Cal Raleigh had become one of the Seattle Mariners’ most important offensive players. He has been a gem for the Seattle Mariners, hitting .250 and providing power production while the team has hit just .230 over its past 10 games. With five players on various injury lists, his contributions have been particularly valuable as the team finds its way through multiple injuries.
Cal Raleigh’s bat will be needed by the Seattle Mariners tonight as they try to create more offense after the club hit two home runs in Tuesday’s loss, both by Dylan Moore. Moore, who has been hot recently, leads the team with four home runs and has batted .300 with six RBIs in the past 10 games.
The Seattle Mariners (8-9) will send right-hander Bryce Miller (0-2, 4.50 ERA) to the mound against Cincinnati Reds starter Nick Martinez (0-2, 6.06 ERA) in the second game of their three-game series, with first pitch scheduled for April 16th at 6:40 p.m. ET.
Seattle Mariners are dealing with multiple injuries, but Cal Raleigh remains healthy
The Seattle Mariners have several important injuries to other players, but Cal Raleigh is healthy and ready to play. Five Seattle Mariners players are currently on the injured list, including outfielder Victor Robles (shoulder), batting .273 and three RBIs before being placed on the 10-day injured list. In addition, starting pitcher George Kirby (shoulder) and reliever Matt Brash (UCL) are also on the 15-day injured list.
The Seattle Mariners are 0 for 4 on the road this season, and the Cincinnati Reds are looking to extend their winning ways, having won four straight and six of their last seven to move to 9-8.
Fans can watch the Seattle Mariners take on the Cincinnati Reds tonight at 6:40 p.m. ET on Fox Sports 1, FDSOH, and ROOT Sports NW, or stream the game live on Fubo. With Cal Raleigh healthy and in the lineup, the Seattle Mariners will look to even the series before Thursday’s finale.
