ESPN MLB reports that SEATTLE -- Cal Raleigh, who was placed on the injured list on May 14 with a right oblique strain, took his first swings since the Seattle Mariners catcher aggravated an injury to his right side.
Last year's AL MVP runner-up took 30 swings off a tee Friday at the team's spring training complex in Arizona.
The switch hitter took 15 hacks from each side with moderate intensity, according to general manager Justin Hollander.
"He's doing well right now," Hollander said of Raleigh.
"He's catching, he's throwing out to 130 feet, I believe.
Just want to build responsibly, and make sure that when he cuts it loose 100%, that he feels 100%." There is no timeline for Raleigh to return to the lineup.
