Mariners' Dominic Canzone: Idle Friday
Rotowire
Canzone is not in the Mariners' starting lineup against the Dodgers on Friday.
Even with right-hander Emmet Sheehan on the mound for the Dodgers in Friday's series opener, Canzone will be on the bench for the start of the game while Josh Naylor serves as the designated hitter and Luke Raley gets the nod at first base. Canzone has logged at least one hit in five of his last six games and has a 1.151 OPS with four home runs, 11 RBI and 11 runs scored in 51 plate appearances since Sept. 1.

Mariners' Dominic Canzone: Recaptures regular role vs. RHPs
Rotowire
Canzone will start at designated hitter and will bat seventh in Sunday's game against the Astros.
Though the left-handed-hitting Canzone will likely continue to sit against left-handed pitchers heading into the final week of the season, he appears to have recaptured a regular spot in the lineup versus righties after going 10-for-19 with three home runs, one double, eight RBI and five runs over his past six contests. Seattle has cleared room in the lineup for Canzone by shifting Jorge Polanco -- who had been serving as the team's primary designated hitter -- to second base.

Mariners' Dominic Canzone: Losing work to Robles
Rotowire
Canzone is not in the lineup for Monday's contest against the Cardinals.
Victor Robles will pick up a third straight start in right field since completing a seven-game suspension, and he's been included in the lineup twice against right-handed starting pitchers. The left-handed-hitting Canzone appears to be fading into a reserve role for the Mariners after he had mostly occupied the strong side of a platoon following his promotion from Triple-A Tacoma on June 9.

Mariners' Dominic Canzone: Out of Wednesday's lineup
Rotowire
Canzone is not in the lineup for Wednesday's game versus the Padres.
After missing more than a week due to a wrist issue, Canzone returned to the lineup for Tuesday's 7-6 loss and went 0-for-4 with three strikeouts. Though the left-handed-hitting Canzone should be a regular presence in the Seattle lineup against righties now that he's healthy again, he'll take a seat for Wednesday's day game while righty Yu Darvish is on the hill for the Padres. Seattle will turn to Luke Raley in right field.

Mariners' Dominic Canzone: Returns to Seattle lineup
Rotowire
Canzone (wrist) will start in right field and bat seventh in Tuesday's game versus the Padres.
Canzone hasn't played in more than a week due to a left wrist issue that required a cortisone shot. He's feeling well enough to give it a go Tuesday, and as long as his wrist holds up, Canzone should continue to see steady playing time in right field against right-handed pitching.

Mariners' Dominic Canzone: Available off bench Monday
Rotowire
Canzone (wrist) remains out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Padres but is available off the bench, Adam Jude of The Seattle Times reports.
Canzone said Monday that he received a cortisone shot in his left wrist a few days ago, which has helped his recovery. Though he'll be held out of the starting nine for a sixth straight contest, the left-handed-hitting Canzone's absence may have more to do with the fact that the Mariners are facing a lefty starter (JP Sears) rather than because of any lingering concern about the health of his wrist. Canzone has slashed .286/.379/.388 with one home run and five RBI in 58 plate appearances since Aug. 1.

Mariners' Dominic Canzone: Out again Saturday
Rotowire
Canzone (arm) is not in the starting lineup against the Athletics on Saturday.
Canzone hasn't played since Monday, when he was removed from a game against Philadelphia after being hit by a pitch on his left arm. The outfielder had X-rays taken, which came back negative, but it's unclear when he'll be ready to play again. When he is healthy enough to be in the lineup, Canzone could face a challenge to his playing time from Victor Robles, who was activated off the 60-day IL on Saturday.

Mariners' Dominic Canzone: Remaining on bench Wednesday
Rotowire
Canzone (arm) is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Phillies.
After suffering a bruised left arm when he was hit by a pitch in Monday's 12-7 loss, Canzone will remain on the bench for the second day in a row Wednesday, though the left-handed-hitting outfielder may not have started anyway with southpaw Jesus Luzardo on the bump. Dylan Moore will make another start in right field in Canzone's stead. According to Adam Jude of The Seattle Times, manager Dan Wilson said that Canzone is still managing some swelling on the arm and is considered day-to-day, but Thursday's team off day could provide enough time for the 28-year-old to recover ahead of Friday's series opener versus the Athletics.

Mariners' Dominic Canzone: Ends power drought in win
Rotowire
Canzone went 2-for-3 with a solo home run, a double and a walk in Tuesday's 8-3 win over the White Sox.
The homer was Canzone's first since July 3 against the Royals. He hadn't logged an extra-base hit over his previous 11 games, though he went 7-for-30 (.233) with two RBI and a stolen base in that span. The outfielder is still holding down a starting role in right field despite the recent lack of power. On the year, he's batting .296 with an .851 OPS, seven homers, 16 RBI, 15 runs scored and two stolen bases over 154 plate appearances.

Rotowire
Canzone went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Thursday's 3-2 loss to the Royals.
Canzone brought the Mariners within a run in the ninth inning, though the comeback effort fell short. The outfielder is up to six homers this season, five of which have come over his last 12 games, a span in which he has gone 11-for-40 (.275). He's at a .257/.288/.543 slash line with nine RBI, 10 runs scored and a stolen base across 73 plate appearances.

Mariners' Dominic Canzone: Forces extras Monday
Rotowire
Canzone went 1-for-3 with a two-run home run in Monday's 8-4 extra-innings loss to the Diamondbacks.
Canzone completed a four-run comeback to force extras, swatting his first homer of the season in the ninth inning. The outfielder was on the bench to begin Monday's game, but he could be featured in right field as an option versus right-handed pitchers moving forward while Luke Raley (oblique) remains on the injured list. Canzone slashed .196/.271/.381 over 188 plate appearances in the majors in 2024, but he had a strong .296/.360/.564 slash line with 13 home runs, 36 RBI, 35 runs scored and three stolen bases over 45 games with Triple-A Tacoma prior to his call-up Monday.

Mariners' Dominic Canzone: Recalled from Triple-A
Rotowire
The Mariners recalled Canzone from Triple-A Tacoma on Monday.
Canzone has spent virtually all of this season with Tacoma, where he's slashed .296/.360/.564 with 13 home runs in 45 contests. He should get a shot to play right field against right-handed pitching, at least until Luke Raley (oblique) returns.

Mariners' Dominic Canzone: Officially recalled from Triple-A
Rotowire
The Mariners recalled Canzone from Triple-A Tacoma on Monday.
Canzone will take the spot on the Mariners' 26-man roster vacated by Victor Robles after he was placed on the 10-day injured list due to left shoulder dislocation. Canzone has gone 7-for-13 with four runs scored and two solo home runs over his last three outings with Tacoma, and the 27-year-old will look to carry that momentum into the big leagues. He appeared in 67 games for the Mariners in 2024 and slashed .196/.271/.381 with eight home runs and 17 RBI across 188 plate appearances.

Mariners' Dominic Canzone: Set to receive call-up
Rotowire
The Mariners are expected to recall Canzone from Triple-A Tacoma prior to Monday's series opener versus the Astros, Ari Alexander of KPRC 2 Houston reports.
Canzone will be joining the 26-man active roster as a replacement for Victor Robles (shoulder), who is headed for the injured list. The 27-year-old Canzone has produced a .861 OPS over eight games with Tacoma this season but struggled during his time in the majors in 2024, slashing .196/.271/.381 with eight home runs and 17 RBI across 188 plate appearances. It's unclear if the Mariners plan to give the left-handed-hitting Canzone regular starts against right-handed pitching, as Seattle could instead deploy a platoon of Luke Raley and Dylan Moore in right field while Robles is on the shelf.

Mariners' Dominic Canzone: Optioned to Tacoma
Rotowire
The Mariners optioned Canzone to Triple-A Tacoma on Saturday.
Canzone didn't put up much of a fight in the race for an Opening Day roster spot, slashing just .209/.244/.395 with three RBI and nine runs scored in 45 plate appearances during spring training. He'll now look to earn his way back to the majors in Tacoma, where he finished with an .888 OPS across 29 games last season.

Mariners' Dominic Canzone: Loses roster spot
Rotowire
The Mariners optioned Canzone to Triple-A Tacoma on Wednesday.
Canzone had started just seven of 18 games since coming off the injured list earlier this month and went just 3-for-26 at the plate over that stretch. With Julio Rodriguez able to play center field again and Victor Robles sliding over to right field, Canzone's playing time was likely only going to dwindle further had he stuck around with Seattle.
