Raleigh Comes Off Bench to Walk It Off for Mariners in 2-1 Win Against Yankees
- On Monday, the Seattle Mariners sat Cal Raleigh for the season opener against the New York Yankees at T-Mobile Park, starting veteran Mitch Garver at catcher instead.
- Manager Dan Wilson is taking a proactive approach to Raleigh's workload this season after the catcher appeared in three World Baseball Classic games and had a shorter spring training.
- Raleigh has started the season struggling, going 2 for 15 with 10 strikeouts in the opening series against the Cleveland Guardians; last season he appeared in a career-high 159 games with 705 plate appearances.
- American League MVP Aaron Judge leads the Yankees into Seattle for the series, having edged Raleigh in last season's MVP voting and carrying 11 homers in 25 career games at the park.
- Guardians manager Stephen Vogt called Raleigh a "multi-dimensional talent," though he believes expectations for 60 homers are unrealistic, even as Raleigh has hit at least 30 homers for three straight seasons.
