Cal Raleigh Returns to Dugout

Cal Raleigh made a triumphant return to the Mariners’ dugout on Saturday after rehabbing a right oblique injury, arriving just in time to witness his team’s big win fueled by four home runs and dominant pitching. Though no return date is set, Raleigh’s progress is encouraging—he’s been throwing and hitting off a tee, aiming for clarity by Wednesday and hoping to skip another rehab stint in Arizona. His time away helped him mentally accept the injury, especially after playing through it worsened his recovery as a switch-hitter and catcher. While Mitch Garver and Jhonny Pereda stepped up admirably behind the plate, the Mariners’ catchers are tied for MLB lead in homers since Raleigh’s absence. Manager Dan Wilson praised the team’s excitement to have Raleigh back—even if it’s just in the dugout for now. Support the show:Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
