Dominic Canzone

Canzone was robbed of at least a double on his lone out, flying out 404 feet to center in the first. Even so, he had a great night, improving to .264/.335/.486 with 23 homers in 523 plate appearances. He’s hitting lefties even better than righties, so he should be locked in as an everyday player for the Mariners at the beginning of next year.

Canzone accounted for all of the Mariners’ offense on Sunday with an RBI single in the fourth inning and an RBI double in the sixth inning. The designated hitter has had a solid year for the Mariners in his first season as a full-time player. He now has 72 RBI to go along with a .261/.333/.485 slash line and 22 home runs.

The Mariners couldn’t get anything going against Rangers’ starter Jacob deGrom in this one, mustering just one hit through the first six frames. As soon as deGrom exited though, they took advantage. Canzone got them on the board with an RBI single in the seventh inning and he scored on a go-ahead three-run blast off the bat of Julio Rodriguez. The 29-year-old outfielder has been a solid contributor in the middle of the M’s lineup this season, slashing .254/.325/.471 with 21 homers, 66 RBI and a pair of stolen bases in 465 plate appearances.

Canzone’s 433-foot blast was the only run the Mariners were able to score on Friday as the 4-6 hitters combined to go 2-for-25 with two walks against Dylan Cease and the Jays pen. Canzone’s hitting .300/.373/.467 over his last 15 games with two homers and a stolen base, and he’s hitting left-handers well enough that Seattle has no qualms about penciling him in to a full-time role. It’s been a good season for him.

Canzone took Justin Wrobleski deep for a solo homer in the sixth inning to tie the game. With the game still tied in the eighth, he went deep once again, blasting a two-run shot off Alex Vesia to put the Mariners ahead. Both home runs came off a left-handed pitcher. The 28-year-old outfielder is up to 18 homers and 49 RBI while hitting .263/.333/.530 across 297 plate appearances.

The big blow was a three-run homer in the seventh that put the Mariners on top 4-3. Randy Arozarena then made it back-to-back blasts. Canzone is batting .260/.332/.512 with 16 homers in 289 plate appearances. He overtook Julio Rodríguez and Luke Raley for the Mariners team lead in homers today.

Canzone came up big in the fifth inning when he doubled off MacKenzie Gore to drive in Randy Arozarena and Colt Emerson to tie the game at 3-3. Canzone’s double marked just his third extra-base hit of the month, as the lefty has found himself in a bit of a slump this month. While we don’t expect him to consistently be the player who hit .314 in June with six homers, there’s room to improve on his current .200/.279/.327 line for this month.

Canzone began the year strictly playing against right-handers, but his success with the bat — he’s hitting .273/.349/.551 with 14 homers — and injuries have seen him see more playing time against southpaws, and it’s going to become more consistent. The 28-year-old was strong with the bat as well in 2025, and it’s time to take Canzone more seriously as an option, even as a player who won’t steal a ton of bases and may be due for some regression in the average category.

Canzone homered and drove in three runs on Saturday night, so the timing off the off day is a bit curious, though the Mariners are likely just trying to keep him fresh. Cal Raleigh will function as the team’s designated hitter in his place while Mitch Garver draws his first start of the week behind the dish and will bat seventh for the M’s against Trey Yesavage and the Blue Jays.

Canzone’s 14th homer was clubbed 401 feet to right-center. His .273/.349/.551 line gives him an even .900 OPS. Since he often sits against lefties, he doesn’t qualify for the batting title, but that .551 slugging percentage is good for 10th in the majors among players with 200 plate appearances.

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.

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.

Canzone stepped to the plate with the bases loaded and no outs after Tatsuya Imai hit two batters and walked a third. Canzone made him pay after Imai hung a slider over the middle of the plate, sending it 381 feet to right field for a grand slam. He later drove in a fifth run on a sacrifice fly in the ninth. The 28-year-old outfielder is hitting .256/.320/.477 with four homers and 18 RBI across 97 plate appearances.
