Seattle Mariners Face Pirates with Nearly Full Lineup

The Seattle Mariners are set to face the Pittsburgh Pirates with a nearly full lineup as Dominic Canzone returns to action.

What's the latest on Canzone's return?

Canzone is hitting sixth and serving as the designated hitter after pulling his hamstring on Sunday.

The only regular position player not active for Seattle is utility man Brendan Donovan, who remains on the 10-day injured list with a groin strain.

How has Canzone performed this season?

Canzone has been one of the Mariners' best producers at the plate, owning a .281/.353/.562 slash line for a team-high .915 OPS with 12 homers.

In 19 games in June, he has a .352 batting average, 1.120 OPS, five homers, two doubles, and one triple.

What's the pitching matchup for Wednesday's game?

The Mariners will have 2025 American League All-Star Bryan Woo on the mound, who has thrown seven scoreless innings with three hits or less in two of his last four starts.

Woo will face Pittsburgh's Braxton Ashcraft, who is tied for 10th in baseball with nine quality starts this year.

The Seattle Mariners are currently 41-40, standing 3rd in the American League, and are on a L1 streak after losing 11-1 to the Pirates on June 24.

What are the implications of the series?

With at least one win over the final two games of the series, Seattle would clinch its first series victory on the road since late May.

Wednesday's game will mark the midway point of the 162-game season for the M's.
