Seattle Mariners catcher Cal Raleigh was unexpectedly removed from the lineup just before Saturday night’s game against Kansas City, where the team suffered a 3-2 loss in 10 innings. Manager Dan Wilson cited “general soreness” as the reason for Raleigh’s late scratch, impacting the team’s strategy. Raleigh had been scheduled to bat second and start behind the plate. His absence was a significant development in the tightly contested match.
