Is Cal Raleigh playing today? Mariners waiting for MRI results
Catcher Cal Raleigh, who hit 60 homers last season, is off to a slow start and dealing with tightness in his side, but insists "everything is good."
The Seattle Mariners may make a decision later today on whether or not catcher Cal Raleigh will need some time on the injured list to recover from tightness he's been feeling on his right side. Raleigh, who led the majors last season with 60 home runs, last played in a game on Friday, May 1, against the Kansas City Royals . He has been out of the lineup for the last three games and underwent an MRI on his side as the team looks to determine the extent of his injury.
Manager Dan Wilson told reporters before Monday's game that a decision will be "forthcoming in the next day or so. " Raleigh downplayed the severity in an interview Monday saying, "Everything is good. " He said he's feeling better as the days have progressed, and the team doesn't want to take any unnecessary risks this early in the season.
"Everything is good, just taking it day by day. " Cal Raleigh discussed how he was feeling this afternoon with @shannondrayer . Tune in to The Cal Raleigh Show Thursdays @ 5pm w/ @WymanAndBob .
