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 Gavin Sheets
Sheets battles deep mid-season slump, making him a sit for Baltimore series
The second-place Padres continue to utilize Gavin Sheets as their primary option at first base, but his bat has gone ice-cold. Over his last 14 days, he is hitting a mere .128 with only one home run and 14 strikeouts. Although injuries to San Diego's lineup help secure his everyday role, his current form is a major drag on fantasy rosters.
This cold spell contrasts details from his strong start and his solid 2025 performance when he hit 19 homers. Our models project him to finish the season with a .239 average and 12 home runs over 452 at-bats. While his current .128 slump over the last fortnight is likely a temporary stretch of regression, expect him to eventually correct back toward his career baseline.
The remaining schedule this week features a three-game road series against the Orioles starting Friday. Sheets will face Shane Baz and his 4.10 ERA, followed by a highly vulnerable Trevor Rogers and his 6.40 ERA on Sunday. Despite some favorable remaining matchups, Sheets' active 2-for-22 slide over the last seven days makes him too risky to deploy. Verdict: Sit.
