Seattle Mariners star catcher Cal Raleigh underwent a left shoulder AC debridement procedure, while first baseman Josh Naylor had triangular fibrocartilage complex repair surgery on his right wrist, the club announced Monday.

Raleigh and Naylor are expected to be fully recovered in time for spring training.

Raleigh slashed .182/.296/.368 with 23 homers and 69 RBIs over 126 regular-season games this campaign. The 29-year-old's production regressed significantly after going deep 60 times with 125 RBIs and a .948 OPS across 159 contests in 2025, en route to finishing second in AL MVP voting.

Naylor also struggled this season, recording 10 homers, 57 RBIs, 30 stolen bases, and a .667 OPS in 152 games. The 2024 All-Star signed a five-year, $92.5-million contract last offseason.

The Mariners missed the postseason after coming within one win of reaching their first World Series last year.
