On October 4, 2001, Raines Jr. played center field and his father, Tim Raines Sr., played left field, in an Orioles' 5–4 loss to the Boston Red Sox. They became the second major league father-son duo to play in the same game, matching the feat turned by Ken Griffey Sr. and Ken Griffey Jr. (with the Seattle Mariners, on August 31, 1990).
Raines signed with the Chicago White Sox on March 7, 2009, to a minor league contract. He then signed with the Kansas City Royals on May 29, 2009, to a minor league contract.
In 2011, Raines played for the Newark Bears of the Can-Am League, who were managed by his father.
In 2017, the Orioles named Raines the hitting coach for the Short-Season A affiliate Aberdeen IronBirds.[1]
