Scouting Report: Jake Kalish
Milwaukee Brewers | SP
Overall
Summary
Cal Raleigh, the Seattle Mariners' star catcher and 2025 AL MVP runner-up, has been placed on the 10-day injured list for the first time in his career due to a right oblique strain. The injury was initially sustained in early May and reaggravated on May 13 against the Astros. The Mariners are optimistic about his recovery, with GM Justin Hollander stating imaging shows the injury is "similar or slightly improved" and the team does not anticipate a lengthy absence. Raleigh will undergo a week-long shutdown and receive a PRP injection at the team's facility in Peoria, Arizona. However, Raleigh's season has been marked by a dramatic collapse in performance, hitting just .161 with 7 home runs in 41 games after hitting 60 home runs in 2025. He was in the midst of a 25+ game hitless streak before breaking out briefly on May 12.
Strengths
- Optimistic team outlook - GM states no lengthy absence expected
