Cal Raleigh named American League Player of the Week

Seattle Mariners catcher Cal Raleigh has been named the American League Player of the Week, marking the third time in his career receiving the honor.

Raleigh produced a standout performance over six games against the Philadelphia Phillies and Toronto Blue Jays, batting .389 with five home runs and six RBIs. During this stretch, he achieved a 1.800 OPS and a .522 on-base percentage. Notably, Raleigh recorded his first career three-homer game against the Phillies and tied an MLB record by hitting home runs in four consecutive at-bats across August 24 and 25.

The award follows a period of statistical struggle for Raleigh in the 2026 season, where his batting average had dropped to .171 prior to this productive week.
