The Big Dumper looks like himself again.
In his third rehab game with Triple-A Tacoma on Saturday, as he works his way back from a right oblique strain, Cal Raleigh launched two more home runs to bring his total to five with the Rainiers.
Raleigh produced a historic 2025 campaign, setting a record for primary catchers by smashing 60 home runs. He went on the 10-day injured list on May 14. At the time, he had a .161/.243/.317 slash line with seven homers in 41 games.
With his two long balls in Tacoma’s 11-2 win over Albuquerque, Raleigh is 5-for-11 (.455) with 12 RBIs in his three games with the Rainiers. He also went 1-for-3 with a single in one game with High-A Everett.
The switch-hitting slugger’s first homer on Saturday was a 445-foot solo shot as a right-handed batter that went well over the wall in left-center field in the first inning. His second home run came in the fourth from the left side -- it was a two-run blast over the fence in right.
Raleigh will stay with Tacoma through the weekend and is expected to return to the Mariners’ lineup when they open a homestand against the Orioles on Tuesday at T-Mobile Park.
