Dominic Canzone Expected To Return In Mid-August
4 months agoSeattle Mariners outfielder Dominic Canzone (groin) is expected to return from the 10-day injured list in mid-August. Manager Scott Servais said last weekend that Canzone is still a few weeks away from starting a minor-league rehab assignment, so the updated timeline makes sense. The 26-year-old outfielder has been sidelined since July 10 with a right-groin strain. The Mariners placed star center fielder Julio Rodriguez (ankle) on the 10-day IL on Tuesday, so Seattle is a bit short-handed in the outfield right now. Victor Robles is going to play regularly in center field, while Mitch Haniger and young outfielder Cade Marlowe figure to split playing time in right field. Canzone, who was hitting just .211 (30-for-142) with seven home runs and 14 RBI before his injury, won't be guaranteed regular playing time when he's ready to return in mid-August.
