Outlook Dominic Canzone
Dominic Canzone is Blistering Hot as He Powers the First-Place Mariners
Dominic Canzone is on an absolute tear, batting .421 with three home runs and six RBIs over his last seven games. He has solidified his spot as the primary designated hitter for the first-place Mariners, who are clinging to a narrow lead in the AL West. With key Seattle outfielders like Randy Arozarena on the injured list and others banged up, Canzone's everyday role is completely secure for the immediate future.
While Canzone's recent tear will inevitably cool down, his overall 2026 breakout is no fluke as he carries a .293 batting average with 11 home runs. Our season models originally projected him for a modest .242 average and seven home runs, but his improved contact rates and elite raw power have unlocked a much higher ceiling. He represents a legitimate mid-season breakout rather than a temporary hot streak.
For the remainder of the week, the Mariners host a series of matchups against Baltimore and Boston. While facing stingy arms like Ranger Suarez (3.21 ERA) and Payton Tolle (3.24 ERA) presents a challenge, Canzone's blistering form makes him near-impossible to bench right now. Ride the hot hand and lock him into your lineups as a high-upside option. Verdict: Start.

Outlook Kyle Stowers
Stowers Power Surges as Outfielder Commands Everyday Role
Stowers has been on fire lately, hitting .304 with two home runs and seven RBIs over his last six games, highlighted by a multi-homer outburst on June 17. The fourth-place Marlins (37-38) are leaning heavily on him as their everyday starting left fielder, especially with Griffin Conine currently sidelined on the injured list.
His recent hot streak is a welcome sight after a slow start that dragged his season average down to .226, though his career-best 25 home runs last season proves the upside is real. Our models project him to finish with nearly 21 home runs and 55 RBIs, suggesting his power is highly sustainable even if his batting average fluctuates.
With three games remaining this week at home against San Francisco, Stowers faces a highly favorable run of matchups. He is scheduled to face Trevor McDonald (4.64 ERA) and Adrian Houser (5.94 ERA), making him a fantastic fantasy option despite a tougher matchup against Logan Webb. Verdict: Start.
