The Seattle Mariners face a setback with outfielder Luke Raley placed on the injured list due to a right oblique strain, missing up to six weeks. Raley has been showing promise with a recent .333 batting average. In response, the Mariners have called up Rhylan Thomas from Triple-A Tacoma, who performed well there, hitting .319 with six stolen bases. To make room, they designated Sauryn Lao for assignment after a brief stint. This move comes amidst a challenging season for the Mariners, who are struggling with injuries yet still seeking a path to contention.
