DOMINIC CANZONE NEWS

Heading back to minors The Mariners optioned Canzone to Triple-A Tacoma on Sunday.

Impact Since being recalled from Triple-A on Monday, Canzone didn't make any starts and appeared off the bench in two of the Mariners' ensuing five games while going 0-for-3 with two strikeouts. With third baseman Jorge Polanco limited to designated-hitter duties for the time being while he tends to a sore side, the Mariners deemed Canzone an expendable piece and swapped him off the active roster for Ben Williamson, who was called up from Tacoma and will provide Seattle with more infield depth in the short term.

Officially recalled from Triple-A The Mariners recalled Canzone from Triple-A Tacoma on Monday.

Impact 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.

Joining big-league roster Canzone is expected to be called up from Triple-A Tacoma on Monday, Ari Alexander of KPRC 2 Houston reports.

Impact Canzone will seemingly replace Victor Robles (shoulder) on the 26-man roster with Robles expected to be placed on the injured list. Canzone has produced a .276 average with two solo home runs and six runs scored over 29 at-bats in eight games with Tacoma so far this season.

Optioned to Tacoma The Mariners optioned Canzone to Triple-A Tacoma on Saturday.

Impact 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. 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.

Loses roster spot The Mariners optioned Canzone to Triple-A Tacoma on Wednesday.

Impact 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.

AUGUST 28, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Hitting bench against lefty Canzone isn't in the Mariners' lineup for Saturday's game against the Giants.

Impact The lefty-hitting Canzone will take a seat Saturday with the lefty-throwing Blake Snell set to toe the slab for San Francisco. Randy Arozarena, Victor Robles and Julio Rodriguez will start across the outfield while Mitch Haniger serves as Seattle's designated hitter.

AUGUST 24, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Sitting again Tuesday Canzone isn't in the Mariners' lineup Tuesday against the Dodgers.

Impact Canzone will be missing his second consecutive start Tuesday, though he was able to appear as a pinch hitter in Monday's loss. Mitch Haniger will take over in right field and bat seventh while Canzone rests.

AUGUST 20, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Absent from lineup Canzone is not in the lineup for Monday's game versus the Dodgers.

Impact Canzone had started four of the previous five games against right-handed pitching and homered in Sunday's win in Pittsburgh, but he'll take a seat Monday versus righty Gavin Stone. Luke Raley is in right field and Justin Turner is at first base.

AUGUST 19, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Belts eighth homer Sunday Canzone went 1-for-5 with a solo home run in a win over the Pirates on Sunday.

Impact Canzone snapped 17-game home-run drought with his 416-foot shot to center field in the fifth inning, which extended the Mariners' lead to 8-0 at the time. In the process, Canzone also snapped an 0-for-8 slump that had encompassed his previous four games, and Sunday's homer served as only his third hit in the 18 plate appearances he's logged since coming off the injured list Aug. 9.

AUGUST 19, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Sitting Saturday Canzone is not in the starting lineup for Saturday's game against Pittsburgh.

Impact Southpaw Bailey Falter is starting for the Pirates on Saturday, which will send the lefty-hitting Canzone to the bench to start the contest. Mitch Haniger will start in right field and bat seventh.

AUGUST 17, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

On bench again Wednesday Canzone is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Tigers.

Impact Since being activated from the 10-day injured list, the lefty-hitting Canzone has started in just one of the Mariners' ensuing six games. He hasn't been helped by the fact that the Mariners have faced five left-handed starters or primary pitchers during that stretch, but Canzone's opportunities against right-handed pitching could be somewhat limited moving forward with Julio Rodriguez having recently returned from the injured list and fellow outfielder Victor Rojas having solidified himself as an everyday player.

AUGUST 14, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Productive in return to lineup Canzone went 2-for-4 with two doubles and a run in a win over the Mets on Sunday.

Impact Canzone started in right field, his first time back in the opening lineup since being activated from the injured list Friday. The outfielder commemorated the occasion by swatting his first extra-base hits since July 9, but with Randy Arozarena arriving at the deadline and Victor Robles working himself into a regular outfield role while Canzone was on the shelf, the latter's prospects for regular playing time are murky at the moment.

AUGUST 12, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Not facing lefty Canzone is out of the lineup for Saturday's game against the Mets.

Impact With the Mariners facing a left-handed pitcher for a second consecutive night, Canzone will take a seat once again Saturday. In his place, Mitch Haniger will play right field and bat sixth.

AUGUST 10, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Idle vs. southpaw Friday Canzone is not in the starting lineup for Friday's game against the Mets.

Impact The lefty-hitting Canzone, who was activated from the 10-day injured list Thursday, will not make his return Friday with the Mets sending left-hander Jose Quintana to the mound. Mitch Haniger will start in right field and bat seventh.

AUGUST 9, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Activated from 10-day IL Canzone (thigh) was reinstated from the 10-day injured list Thursday.

Impact Canzone will make his return to the major-league roster after missing nearly a month of action with a right adductor strain. The 26-year-old produced a .375 average with three home runs, a double, six RBI and five runs scored over his six games with Triple-A Tacoma during his rehab assignment. Although he's not in the lineup Thursday, Canzone will likely step back into his starting role in right field as soon as Friday against the Mets.

AUGUST 8, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Full rehab game Tuesday Canzone (thigh) played all nine innings in left field during Triple-A Tacoma's win over Reno on Tuesday, going 1-for-5.

Impact Canzone reached another benchmark in his recovery with Tuesday's full game on defense, and he managed to extend his rehab-assignment hitting streak to five games in the process. Per the Associated Press, Canzone could be deemed ready for activation from the IL before the end of the Mariners' current homestand, which concludes Sunday.

AUGUST 7, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Productive weekend in minors Canzone (thigh) started both of Triple-A Tacoma's games against Sacramento on Saturday and Sunday, going a combined 5-for-8 with a double, two home runs, three RBI, a walk and four...

Impact Canzone has now played rehab games on four consecutive days, and Saturday, he logged his most extensive assignment on defense yet with a seven-inning stint in left field. The 26-year-old's pair of weekend round-trippers also imply his timing at the plate is coming along well, leaving him poised for potential activation in coming days.

AUGUST 5, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Plays in second straight rehab game Canzone (thigh) started in right field and played five innings in Triple-A Tacoma's loss to Sacramento on Friday, going 1-for-3.

Impact The five-inning assignment was the second straight in as many rehab games for Canzone, who clearly tolerated Thursday's initial workload well. The recovering outfielder has six minor-league plate appearances under his belt thus far, and he may only need a handful more games with the Rainiers before being deemed ready for activation. However, what Canzone's playing time will look like once he's off the IL remains to be seen, given the Mariners acquired Randy Arozarena, who's handling an everyday role in right field, from the Rays at the deadline.

AUGUST 3, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Begins rehab assignment Canzone (adductor) began a rehab assignment with Triple-A Tacoma on Thursday.

Impact Canzone went 1-for-3 at the plate and played five innings in left field in his first contest with the Rainiers. The Mariners had previously said they expected Canzone back in mid-August, but it would seem he'll have a shot to return a little quicker than that. He's been out since early July with a right adductor strain.

AUGUST 2, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Trending toward mid-August return Mariners general manager Justin Hollander said Wednesday that Canzone (adductor) is expected to return from the 10-day injured list around the middle of August, Shannon Drayer of S...

Impact The target return date Hollander offered up more or less aligns with comments from manager Scott Servais over the weekend, when the skipper said Canzone was a couple weeks away from starting a rehab assignment. Canzone has been on the shelf since July 10 with a right adductor strain, an injury he sustained three days earlier while making a diving catch against the Blue Jays. Victor Robles had been seeing reps in right field following Canzone's placement on the shelf, but with Robles likely to be needed in center field more frequently after Julio Rodriguez (ankle) landed on the IL on Tuesday, Mitch Haniger and Cade Marlowe look to be the main candidates to pick up starts in right.

JULY 24, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Not ready for IL return Canzone (groin), who is first eligible to return from the injured list Saturday, is still recovering according to manager Scott Servais and remains multiple weeks away from beginni...

Impact The outfielder is unsurprisingly not close to ready for a minimum-length stay on the IL, given the nature of his injury and the fact there haven't been any reports of Canzone engaging in any type of baseball activities yet. Servais estimated Friday that Canzone is still a couple of weeks away from being sent down to an affiliate for a rehab assignment, and that timeline could naturally be extended if his recovery doesn't start gathering some momentum soon. While Canzone remains sidelined, Victor Robles could continue drawing the bulk of starts in right field, although Mitch Haniger would also be a candidate to occasionally slot in.
