The 29-year-old Raleigh was this season before breaking out on Tuesday night with two singles .
On Wednesday, Raleigh left the in the eighth inning after appearing to aggravate an injury to his right side. Raleigh missed three games from May 2 to May 4 with soreness on his right side.
鈥淣obody wants to go on the IL, and especially not Cal,鈥� manager Dan Wilson said. 鈥淏ut I think at this point it鈥檚 the smart thing to do.鈥�
In 41 games this season, Raleigh is hitting .161 with seven home runs, 18 RBI, four doubles, 18 walks and 16 runs. His .161 batting average is second-lowest in the majors among hitters with enough at-bats to qualify. Only Tampa Bay Rays outfielder Cedric Mullins (.150) has a lower average.
To fill Raleigh’s spot on the active roster, the Mariners recalled catcher Jhonny Pereda from Triple-A Tacoma. Pereda, 30, has appeared in two games with Seattle this season, hitting .400 with a run scored.
The Mariners also sent left-handed pitcher Jos茅 Suarez to the Athletics for cash considerations. Suarez has appeared in nine games for both Seattle and the Atlanta Braves this season, going 0-1 with a 6.38 ERA.
