Luke Raley

Gallen mowed through a lineup of mostly big league hitters with complete ease on Monday, with his strikeouts coming courtesy of Brendan Donovan, Luke Raley and Mitch Garver. He got seven whiffs on 41 pitches on the afternoon -- four on his slider -- while registering a strong CSW of 37 percent. Gallen has now hurled four scoreless innings over his two Cactus League appearances and also pitched two shutout frames against Team Mexico last week. His velocity was up in this one as well, with his fastball averaging 94.4 mph (+0.9 mph). Perhaps a rebound is in the cards after a disappointing 2025 season.

Raley was responsible for Seattle's only run with a solo dinger off JP Sears. The 31-year-old has been one of the streakier players in baseball of the past few seasons, and that inconsistency along with his inability to hit lefties -- although the homer was off one Saturday -- makes him someone fantasy managers can't consider in the majority of leagues.
