## Resource

The Mariners’ playoff dreams are fading fast after a brutal sweep by the Marlins, dropping them to .500 and half a game behind the Rangers with just one series left before the All-Star break. The real story? Catcher Cal Raleigh, once an MVP runner-up with 60 homers, is struggling mightily—his slump fueled by an oblique injury that sidelined him for months and, according to bench coach Manny Acta, was caused by overtraining for the World Baseball Classic. Now that he’s reportedly healthy, the hope is Raleigh can reclaim his MVP form—and maybe just maybe, save the Mariners’ season.
