Scouting Report: Blair Calvo
Chicago Cubs | RP
Overall
Summary
Cal Raleigh, Seattle Mariners catcher and AL MVP runner-up from 2025, has been placed on the 10-day injured list with a right oblique strain. This is the first IL stint of his six-year MLB career. Raleigh initially suffered the injury around May 2-4 and aggravated it on May 14 during a game against Houston. The team is optimistic about recovery with rest and PRP treatment, but the timing is particularly concerning as Raleigh has struggled significantly in 2026, hitting just .161 with a 0-for-38 hitless streak before breaking out on May 13. His performance metrics are career-lows, including 87.5 mph average exit velocity and 31.1% hard-hit rate. The injury complicates recovery due to his switch-hitting mechanics.
Strengths
- Team optimistic about recovery timeline
- MRI imaging showed injury similar or slightly improved from initial scan
