Scouting Report: Caleb Berry

Summary

Cal Raleigh, Seattle Mariners catcher, has been placed on the 10-day injured list with a strained right oblique. The injury was initially sustained earlier in May and reaggravated during a game in Houston on May 14, 2026. MRI scans showed the injury was "similar or slightly improved" from previous scans. The Mariners are optimistic about his recovery timeline and do not anticipate a lengthy absence. Raleigh will receive a platelet-rich plasma (PRP) injection and will be shut down for approximately one week before resuming baseball activities on a week-to-week basis. The injury is complicated by Raleigh's switch-hitting status, which may affect his recovery timeline. This comes after Raleigh struggled significantly in 2026 with an 0-for-25 hitting streak and the third-lowest batting average among qualified hitters, a stark contrast to his historic 2025 season when he hit 60 home runs.
