"I’m just really just excited to get back," Raleigh said. "I missed it a lot, and it was a fun week getting back out there."
"I thought I had some good practice, good timing, good game results and a good process," he added.
"So I’m taking all that as a positive and kind of rolling it into here."
Crawford filled the leadoff spot in place of the injured Brendan Donovan, bringing a . 278 batting average with nine home runs into Tuesday's contest.
Roster Moves and Injuries
To clear roster space, the Mariners optioned catcher Jhonny Pereda to Triple-A Tacoma after he hit . 270 in 19 games, while Patrick Wisdom had been optioned on Monday.
In a separate roster move, outfielder Randy Arozarena was placed on the 10-day injured list, retroactive to Saturday, due to a mild left hamstring strain revealed by a Tuesday MRI.
"We had hoped to go day-to-day with the feeling that he could be back as soon as tomorrow," said Justin Hollander, general manager of the Seattle Mariners.
"We don’t anticipate a stay on the IL longer than the minimum."
The club selected the contract of outfielder Curtis Washington Jr. from Class A Everett to avoid playing shorthanded with Luke Raley and Josh Naylor also nursing minor injuries.
