Fantasy Impact: Raley struggled through an injury-plagued 2025 and batted just .202 with four home runs in 219 plate appearances - a far cry from the combined 41 home runs he hit in 2023 and 2024. Raley, who played first base and all three outfield positions last season, will more than likely find himself in a bench role to start the 2026 season.

Fantasy Impact: After missing all of 2024 and the first part of 2025, Brash returned in a big way for the Mariners, pitching to a 2.47 ERA in 53 games. He struck out 58 batters in 47.1 innings. The hard-throwing righthander has a career ERA of 3.31 with 227 strikeouts in 168.2 innings. Brash should remain a high-leverage arm out of the Seattle pen in 2026.
