Newly-Demoted Seattle Mariners Outfielder Can't Return When Rosters Expand
On Wednesday, the Seattle Mariners re-instated shortstop J.P. Crawford from the injured list. In a corresponding move, the Mariners sent down outfielder Dominic Canzone.
Some thought that the Mariners could just bring Canzone back up in a few days when the rosters expand (Sept. 1), but evidently that's not the case.
Per Lookout Landing on social media:
Just to clarify: Canzone is not eligible to return on September 1 when rosters expand. Barring an injury, he'd still have to spend the full 10 days on Tacoma's roster, even on paper.

On Sept. 1, the M's can add two more players. They will likely add another position player and another pitcher. On the position player side, with Canzone neutralized, you can likely expect to see Ryan Bliss re-called.
The 27-year-old Canzone is hitting .196 this season with eight homers and 17 RBI. He has flashed real potential, showcasing some real power, but he's struggled to stay consistent and has struck out 53 times in 168 at-bats.
Canzone was acquired from the Arizona Diamondbacks in a deal back in July of 2023. He came over with Bliss and Josh Rojas in the trade that sent Paul Sewald to Arizona.
He has 14 homers in his MLB career.
The Mariners will finish up a series with the Tampa Bay Rays on Wednesday before enjoying an off-day on Thursday. They will then start a weekend serires with the Los Angeles Angels on Friday night. Seattle has dropped six of its last seven games against the division rivals.
