The Mariners optioned Canzone to Triple-A Tacoma on Sunday.
Since being recalled from Triple-A on Monday, Canzone 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 DH duties due to a sore side, the Mariners deemed Canzone an expendable piece and swapped him off the active roster for Ben Williamson, who will provide Seattle with more infield depth.

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.

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

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

Mariners' Dominic Canzone: Activated from 10-day IL
Rotowire
Canzone (thigh) was reinstated from the 10-day injured list Thursday.
Canzone will make his return to the major-league roster after missing nearly a month of action due to 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.

Mariners' Dominic Canzone: Plays in second straight rehab game
Rotowire
Canzone (thigh) started in right field and played five innings in Triple-A Tacoma's loss to Sacramento on Friday, going 1-for-3.
The five-inning appearance was the second 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.

Mariners' Dominic Canzone: Not ready for IL return
Rotowire
Canzone (thigh), 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 beginning a rehab assignment, MLB.com reports.
The fact the outfielder won't have a minimum-length stay on the IL is unsurprising, 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 at least a couple 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 and Jonatan Clase are also candidates to occasionally slot in.

Mariners' Dominic Canzone: Placed on IL with adductor strain
Rotowire
The Mariners placed Canzone on the 10-day injured list Wednesday with a right adductor strain.
Canzone initially suffered the injury during Sunday's 5-4 loss to the Blue Jays while making a catch and then aggravated it while running in Tuesday's 8-3 win. He'll be eligible to return from the IL shortly after the All-Star break, but it's uncertain whether Canzone will be ready for activation at that time.

Mariners' Dominic Canzone: Removed early Tuesday
Rotowire
Canzone was removed from Tuesday's game against the Padres with a possible injury, Daniel Kramer of MLB.com reports.
The Mariners haven't yet provided an official reason for Canzone's early exit, but the 26-year-old outfielder did appear to be in some pain while running after hitting a double in the fifth inning. He'll head into the clubhouse for further evaluation, and more information on his status should be released in the near future.
