Mariners' Dominic Canzone: Dealing with hamstring injury
Rotowire
Canzone suffered a right hamstring injury during Sunday's 3-1 win over the Red Sox, Daniel Kramer of MLB.com reports.
Canzone exited the contest in the bottom of the sixth frame after busting it down the line on the groundout. The 28-year-old grasped at his right leg after hustling to first base, and it is now understood to be a hamstring injury. Canzone will travel with the team to Pittsburgh before Seattle will open a three-game series against the Pirates on Tuesday, and he is considered day-to-day for the time being.

Mariners' Dominic Canzone: Departs with injury Sunday
Rotowire
Canzone exited Sunday's contest against the Red Sox in the sixth inning due to a right leg injury, Daniel Kramer of MLB.com reports.
Canzone pulled up lame after producing an RBI-groundout in the bottom of the sixth inning, grabbing at the back of his right leg before departing with the training staff. His day has come to a premature end having gone 1-for-3 with a solo home run and two RBI. Luke Raley has taken over in right field against Boston.

Mariners' Luke Raley: Taking seat against southpaw
Rotowire
Raley (illness) is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Red Sox.
Raley will be on the bench for a sixth straight game, but his absence Sunday may have more to do with a lefty (Payton Tolle) making the start for Boston. The 31-year-old made enough progress in his recovery from an illness to make a pinch-hitting appearance in Saturday's 5-1 loss, with Raley striking out in his lone at-bat.

Mariners' Colt Emerson: On bench Sunday
Rotowire
Emerson is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Red Sox.
Emerson started the previous nine games after missing a couple contests due to back spasms, and he'll receive Sunday off after going 5-for-29 (.172 average) with two homers and 10 strikeouts during that nine-game stretch. J.P. Crawford is handling shortstop in the series finale versus Boston while Weston Wilson starts at the hot corner.
Mariners' Emerson Hancock: Gives up five runs in loss
Rotowire
Hancock (5-4) allowed five runs on four hits and two walks while striking out six over 5.1 innings to take the loss Saturday versus the Red Sox.
Hancock has had two bad starts in a row, giving up 11 runs over 9.1 frames in that span. The right-hander struggled in the fourth and sixth innings, and another weak showing from the Mariners' offense provided no room for error. Hancock is now at a 3.60 ERA, 1.02 WHIP and 81:19 K:BB over 85 innings across 15 starts this season. His next outing is tentatively projected to be on the road versus the Guardians.
Raley (illness) isn't in the lineup for Saturday's game against the Red Sox.
Raley was originally expected to return to the lineup Friday, but he'll instead miss a fifth consecutive start Saturday while he recovers from the flu. Connor Joe, Julio Rodriguez and Rob Refsnyder will make up the Mariners' outfield unit with Raley out.

Mariners' Victor Robles: Sitting after six straight starts
Rotowire
Robles is out of the lineup for Saturday's game against Boston.
Though he'll be on the bench Saturday, Robles had started in each of the Mariners' last six games and looks like the top choice to make starts in left field while Randy Arozarena (hamstring) is shelved. While Robles rests, the Mariners will go with Connor Joe, Julio Rodriguez and Rob Refsnyder as their starting outfield trio from left to right.

Mariners' Curtis Washington: Outrighted to High-A
Rotowire
Washington cleared waivers Saturday and was sent outright to High-A Everett.
Washington was added to the Mariners' active roster Tuesday to serve as emergency bench depth on short notice, but he'll now return to High-A and give up his spot on the 40-man roster. The 26-year-old outfielder is slashing .203/.296/.419 across 170 plate appearances at Everett this season and could make a push to reach Double-A by the end of the year.
Rodriguez went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run in Friday's 6-2 loss to the Red Sox.
Rodriguez homered in the ninth inning to keep the Mariners from getting shut out. It's encouraging that the 25-year-old was able to play the full game in center field after exiting Wednesday's contest due to hamstring spasms, which also forced him to sit Thursday. It's unclear if he'll get any rest in the coming days, but he should be good to handle a starting role in the long run. Friday's long ball was his first since June 2, and Rodriguez is now batting .249 with a .745 OPS, 14 homers, 37 RBI, 41 runs scored, nine stolen bases and 15 doubles over 76 games this season.

Mariners' Luis Castillo: Roughed up in relief outing
Rotowire
Castillo allowed five runs (four earned) on seven hits and struck out four without walking a batter over four innings of relief in Friday's 6-2 loss to the Red Sox.
Castillo wasn't tagged with the loss, as that went to Bryce Miller. The Mariners' offense didn't give much support to either pitcher, but Castillo didn't do his part to keep the game close after a four-run seventh inning. He has now allowed 11 runs (seven earned) across 15.1 innings in June. Both Castillo and Miller are expected to work in traditional starts at some point during the Mariners' six-game road trip next week.

Mariners' Bryce Miller: Strikes out seven in loss
Rotowire
Miller (3-1) allowed one run on three hits and struck out seven without walking a batter over five innings, taking the loss Friday versus the Red Sox.
Miller was strong again, throwing 46 of 66 pitches for strikes in a planned short start with Luis Castillo working in the long-relief role. However, the Mariners got no-hit through 6.1 innings and didn't score until the ninth, leaving Miller with no run support in a hard-luck loss. The right-hander is now at a 1.58 ERA, 0.70 WHIP and 43:5 K:BB over 40 innings through seven appearances (six starts) this season. The Mariners plan to have all of their starters work in a tandem situation at least once prior to the All-Star break. With Miller getting his done now, he should see something closer to a traditional starter's workload in his next outing.
Mariners' Julio Rodriguez: Returns to lineup Friday
Rotowire
Rodriguez (hamstring) is back in the lineup for Friday's matchup against Boston.
After exiting early from Wednesday's matchup and riding the pine on Thursday, Rodriguez is back in the lineup for the series opener against Boston on Friday. The 25-year-old will play center field and bat third for Seattle.

Mariners' Miles Mastrobuoni: Designated for assignment
Rotowire
The Mariners designated Mastrobuoni for assignment Friday.
Mastrobuoni went 5-for-23 with an RBI and three runs scored during his eight-game stint with the Mariners, but he'll now lose his place on the 26-man and 40-man rosters in favor of Weston Wilson. Mastrobuoni owns just a .567 OPS across 474 plate appearances in his MLB career, but his defensive versatility could draw some attention on the waiver wire.

Mariners' Weston Wilson: Contract selected by Seattle
Rotowire
The Mariners selected Wilson's contract from Triple-A Tacoma on Friday.
Wilson will return for his second stint in the majors this season, this time with a different team in Seattle. The 31-year-old appeared in 21 games with Baltimore before being designated for assignment June 6. Wilson slashed .231/.348/.33 with one homer in 46 plate appearances with the Orioles. Seattle designated Miles Mastrobuoni for assignment in order to make room for Wilson on the roster.
