Cal Raleigh hit his 48th and 49th homers, becoming the single-season catcher home run leader and positioning himself to pursue a 50-homer season. He carries a .247/.353/.593 slash, a 160 wRC+, and a 7.3 fWAR that ties him for the MLB lead, and he has been especially effective right-handed with a .281/.337/.693 line and 19 homers in 166 plate appearances. Cardinals shortstop Winn will undergo a knee MRI after a July scan showed "a little something," and he aims to play through the issue and possibly delay arthroscopy until the offseason. A Phillies at Mets series preview notes the Mets have fallen seven games back of the Phillies.
Yesterday, star catcher and AL MVP candidate Cal Raleigh enjoyed a multi-homer game where he crushed his 48th and 49th homers of the season. That pair of dingers saw him tie and then claim sole possession of the record for most home runs hit by a catcher in a single season, eclipsing the efforts of Salvador Perez back in 2021. With that record now claimed, the wait begins for Raleigh to establish himself as the first 50-homer catcher in MLB history.
Seattle's superstar is slashing .247/.353/.593 with a wRC+ of 160 so far this year, and his 7.3 fWAR leaves him tied with reigning AL MVP Aaron Judge for the MLB lead. Raleigh will look to reach the 50 homer plateauand continue strengthening his MVP caseagainst the Padres and left-hander this evening. The switch-hitting Raleigh has excelled from both sides of the plate in 2025 but has been better when swinging right-handed, with a .281/.337/.693 slash and 19 big flies in just 166 plate appearances.
Cardinals shortstop is scheduled to undergo an MRI on his knee today, as relayed by MLB.com's John Denton. Denton adds that Winn already underwent an MRI on that same knee back in July that showed "a little something," but that Winn nonetheless hopes to play through what's ailing him this season and save the possibility of an arthroscopic procedure on his knee for the offseason.
