Outlook Dominic Canzone
Power-hitting outfielder looking to secure a full-time role in Seattle
Dominic Canzone enters the season as a prime candidate to carve out a regular role in the Seattle Mariners' lineup, likely slotting in as a strong-side platoon option in the outfield or as a designated hitter. At 28 years old, the left-handed slugger has shown flashes of impressive raw power throughout his brief big league career but has struggled to maintain consistency. His fantasy ceiling hinges entirely on his ability to secure everyday at-bats and reduce his strikeout rate against major league pitching.
Our models project Canzone for 376 at-bats, yielding a .242 batting average, 24 runs, 24 RBIs, and seven home runs. While those counting stats look modest, they are reflective of a projected part-time role. If Canzone can replicate his career-best form from previous seasons—where he showed a more respectable .280 average—his power numbers could easily double. He offers virtually no speed on the basepaths, making him a standard three-category contributor who will rely heavily on home runs to maintain fantasy relevance.
Ultimately, Canzone is a late-round flyer or waiver-wire target in deeper leagues. He acts as a cheap power source who can be deployed selectively when matchups favor him, but his low batting average floor makes him a risky option in shallow mixed formats unless injuries open up a permanent spot in the heart of the Mariners' order.

Outlook Jordan Lawlar
Jordan Lawlar Nears Return as Rehab Shifts to Triple-A
Sidelined since early April with a broken right wrist, Jordan Lawlar has no recent major league games played. However, the elite shortstop prospect is making rapid progress, shifting his rehab assignment to Triple-A Reno as he targets a mid-June return. In his absence, the third-place Diamondbacks (34-33) have leaned on Geraldo Perdomo as their everyday shortstop.
Before the injury, Lawlar flashed his dynamic potential in six games, batting .333 with a home run and a steal. Our projections expect a rest-of-season line of eight home runs, seven stolen bases, and a .232 average over 151 at-bats. While the power-speed pedigree is elite, fantasy managers should anticipate some initial contact struggles upon his return.
Arizona wraps up a series in Miami before visiting Cincinnati this weekend to face Nick Lodolo and Rhett Lowder. Lawlar remains out of the major league lineup this week as he finishes his minor league ramp-up. Keep him stashed on your injured list for his high second-half upside. Verdict: Hold.
