Dominic

Canzone

Canzone will attempt to play through a lingering right hamstring issue that’s been bothering him since last weekend. The 28-year-old, who has homered eight times in his last 30 games, will be limited to DH for at least the next couple days and there’s optimism he’ll manage to avoid a trip to the injured list.

Canzone has been battling a right hamstring issue, and the Mariners are being careful with his workload to ensure that they don’t aggravate it. Cal Raleigh will function as the Mariners’ designated hitter on Sunday while Mitch Garver draws a start behind the dish and will bat seventh.

Canzone is back at DH and hitting sixth following a brief one-game absence due to a right hamstring issue that caused him to depart Sunday’s series finale against the Red Sox. The 28-year-old has been an impact fantasy contributor in deeper formats since the start of June, hitting .352 (19-for-54) with five homers and 10 RBI during that span.

Canzone pulled up lame after an RBI fielder’s choice against the Red Sox on Sunday, and it’s not a huge surprise to see the 28-year-old out of action for Tuesday’s bout versus PIttsburgh. Victor Robles will be in left field with Randy Arozarena returning from the injured list as the designated hitter against Mitch Keller and the Pittsburgh bullpen.

Canzone said after the game that he thinks he’ll be fine and that he will travel to Pittsburgh for the series against the Pirates that begins Tuesday. Canzone was hurt running out a grounder today.

Awful timing for Canzone, who had a homer today and is batting .341/.420/.773 in his last 15 games. Canzone was hurt running to first on an RBI groundout. Luke Raley replaced him in right field.

Raley remains stapled to Seattle’s bench for the sixth straight contest, but figures to be available to pinch-hit at some point. He struck out as a pinch-hitter during Saturday’s contest. The 31-year-old masher has been dealing with an illness in addition to a lingering back issue for the better part of the last week. It’ll be Dominic Canzone heading out to right field with lefty-masher Rob Refsnyder at DH to face his former club.

Canzone is hitting .440 with six homers in his last 17 games, pushing his OPS all of the way up to .940. He doesn’t play against lefties and he doesn’t steal bases, which puts quite a cap on his fantasy potential. However, he’s been one of the AL’s better hitters against right-handers since the beginning of 2025.

Canzone had a two-run triple off the top of the center field wall that bounced back over Jacob Young’s head on the ricochet, then added a solo shot just over the right-center field fence in the eighth inning to make it 9-1. Canzone has been a pretty great strong side of a platoon this year, hitting .282/.345/.564 overall, and is already just one homer from 2025’s career high of 11. Teams will probably stop pitching to him quite as much as they have early on this year, but the Baseball Savant page is tomato red and none of this looks especially fluky.

Canzone’s three-hit effort included his eighth long ball of the season, a gargantuan 451-foot blast to center field off Tigers starter Keider Montero in the fourth inning. It came just a few innings after sending a run-scoring double off the base of the center-field wall in his first at-bat of the contest. The 28-year-old has been on fire recently, hitting .350 (14-for-40) with four homers and seven RBI over his last 15 games.
