Julio Rodriguez Heading to Concussion Injured List
Seattle Mariners outfielder Julio Rodriguez (head) is expected to be placed on the seven-day concussion injured list on Friday, according to Daniel Kramer of MLB.com. The Mariners haven't made an official roster move yet, but utility man Miles Mastrobuoni has a locker at T-Mobile Park in Seattle and is likely to be called up from Triple-A Tacoma as the corresponding roster move. Victor Robles (forearm) replaced Rodriguez on Thursday in the game against the division-rival Los Angeles Angels after Rodriguez was hit in the helmet by a throw, but he was forced to leave early as well with a right-forearm injury. If Robles is unavailable to return on Friday, either Mastrobuoni or Weston Wilson will likely enter the starting lineup in Seattle's outfield, with Luke Raley most likely sliding over to center field. It's unclear if Rodriguez will be able to rejoin the M's before the All-Star break in mid-July. The five-category producer should be stashed in all fantasy leagues while he recovers. He's currently hitting .259/.323/.424 with a .747 OPS, 14 homers, 40 RBI, 46 runs, and 12 stolen bases in his 344 at-bats in 2026.

Julio Rodriguez Removed Early on Thursday After Being Hit in the Head
Seattle Mariners outfielder Julio Rodriguez (head) was removed from Thursday's game early against the division-rival Los Angeles Angels to begin the top of the third inning, shortly after taking a throw off the back of his helmet, according to Daniel Kramer of MLB.com. Victor Robles took over for him in center field. Before leaving, J-Rod walked in his only plate appearance. The Mariners will most likely put him through the concussion protocol, so fantasy managers will want to check back later on or early Friday morning for an update. For now, we'll consider the 25-year-old three-time All-Star as day-to-day. Rodriguez came into Thursday's contest with a .259/.321/.424 slash line, .745 OPS, 14 home runs, 40 RBI, 46 runs scored, and 12 stolen bases in his 344 at-bats for Seattle. The five-category fantasy contributor is rostered in 99% of Yahoo leagues for a reason, and he's a must-start in all formats when he's active. Rodriguez is currently riding a seven-game hitting streak in which he's gone 12-for-29 (.414) with three RBI, two stolen bases, and four runs scored. UPDATE: Rodriguez is in the concussion protocol and will be re-evaluated on Friday.

Luke Raley Returning on Thursday Against Angels
Seattle Mariners first baseman/outfielder Luke Raley (forearm) is starting in right field and will bat seventh in his return to the starting lineup on Thursday against the division-rival Los Angeles Angels and right-hander Walbert Urena, according to MLB.com. Raley will return for the M's after sitting out the last three games due to soreness in his left forearm. Due to injuries and poor play recently, the 31-year-old veteran left-handed slugger is only rostered in 12% of Yahoo leagues with the first half of the 2026 season winding down. All 14 of Raley's home runs this year have come against right-handed pitching, but he's coming off a month of June that saw him hit a putrid .125 (7-for-56) with one homer, two doubles, four RBI, three runs scored, four walks, and 20 strikeouts in 19 games across 61 plate appearances. Nobody should be in a rush to throw him back into their starting lineups, especially not in DFS. Raley has never faced Urena in his career.

Luke Raley Still Out With Forearm Injury
Seattle Mariners first baseman/outfielder Luke Raley (forearm) is sitting out for a third straight game due to a forearm injury in Tuesday's game against the division-rival Los Angeles Angels, per MLB.com. Weston Wilson is making the start in right field for the M's and is batting ninth against Angels right-hander Jose Soriano. Raley remains day-to-day for now, and it's unclear if his forearm injury is serious enough to land him on the 10-day injured list. The left-handed-hitting slugger has been pretty beat up of late and has hit just .125 (7-for-56) with a homer, two doubles, four RBI, three runs scored, four walks, and 20 strikeouts in 19 games played during June. Raley is now only rostered in 13% of Yahoo leagues after his tough month of June. His upside is limited in mixed fantasy leagues because he's in a platoon in Seattle's outfield against right-handed pitchers. Despite a .283 average (49-for-206) on the year, Raley does have some value for his left-handed pop (14 homers) in the right matchups when he's in the starting lineup.

Lazaro Montes Gets Back on Track, Promotion Now in Sight?
Seattle Mariners outfield prospect Lazaro Montes had a brutal 1-for-27 (.037) stretch with a .188 on-base percentage from June 16 through June 24, but in the four games since, the left-handed hitter is 6-for-10 (.600) with seven walks and a hit-by-pitch, leading to an astounding .778 OBP during that time. The Mariners' fourth-ranked prospect is hitting just .239 on the season, but a high 14.2 percent walk rate has buoyed a solid .361 OBP, and his 23 home runs (second-most at Double-A) anchor a .556 slugging percentage. The team would surely like to see some developmental progress on his 29.0 percent strikeout rate, and if the 6-foot-5 slugger's recent approach is any indication of that progress (7:3 BB:K), he could be headed to Triple-A soon. With the kind of power the 21-year-old possesses, he could become a stash candidate later in the year, so keep an eye out for any developments.

Brendan Donovan Could Be Nearing Rehab Assignment
Seattle Mariners infielder/outfielder Brendan Donovan (groin) will be reevaluated after the team's current homestand and could be nearing a rehab assignment, per Ryan Divish of the Seattle Times. Donovan has been on the 10-day injured list since mid-May due to a left groin strain, but it appears he could be nearing a return around the All-Star break. Across 101 plate appearances in 2026 for Seattle, Donovan has hit .274/.386/.452 with three home runs, eight RBI, nine runs scored, and one stolen base. The 29-year-old does not offer much speed or power upside for fantasy managers, but he's a steady source of batting average when healthy. Seattle will have to shift some pieces around when Donovan returns, as the team's infield picture is crowded following the promotion of shortstop Colt Emerson to the big leagues. Still, Donovan's ability to play multiple positions should keep him in the Mariners lineup on a near-everyday basis once healthy.

Luke Raley Still Out on Monday With Forearm Injury
Seattle Mariners first baseman/outfielder Luke Raley (forearm) is out of the starting nine for Monday's series opener against the division-rival Los Angeles Angels, according to MLB.com. It is the second straight start that Raley will miss due to soreness in his left forearm. Victor Robles is starting in right field again and will bat eighth against Angels right-hander Ryan Johnson. Raley should be considered day-to-day and could return to the starting lineup as early as Game 2 of the series at T-Mobile Park on Tuesday. The 31-year-old veteran left-handed slugger has interesting pop, but he lacks a ton of fantasy upside in mixed leagues because he doesn't play regularly against left-handed pitchers. In 206 at-bats this year, he's slashing .238/.302/.485 with a .788 OPS, 14 home runs, 35 RBI, 25 runs scored, and a stolen base in 73 games played. Raley has been awful in 19 games (61 plate appearances) in June, going 7-for-56 (.125) with a homer, two doubles, four RBI, three runs scored, four walks, and 20 strikeouts.

Dominic Canzone Back in Lineup on Monday as DH
Seattle Mariners outfielder Dominic Canzone (hamstring) is back in the starting lineup for Monday's series opener against the division-rival Los Angeles Angels and right-hander Ryan Johnson, serving as the designated hitter and batting third, per MLB.com. Canzone is back in action on Monday after sitting out Sunday's series finale against the Cleveland Guardians with right-hamstring soreness. The 28-year-old left-handed-hitting outfielder has been one of the team's most consistent hitters this year and already is up to a career-high 12 home runs, slashing .274/.349/.542 with an .891 OPS, 33 RBI, 29 runs scored, and a stolen base in 190 at-bats. He is hitting .323 (21-for-65) with five home runs, three doubles, a triple, and 11 runs scored in 22 games in June, but he's cooled off of late, going 3-for-23 with a homer, two RBI, three walks, and nine strikeouts in his last eight contests. Canzone lacks fantasy upside in shallow-mixed leagues because he rarely plays against lefties, but he's hitting a nice .281 (48-for-171) with 11 of his 12 long balls against righties this year.

Luke Raley Sitting With Elbow Discomfort
Seattle Mariners first baseman/outfielder Luke Raley (elbow) is out of the lineup for Sunday's series finale against the hosting Cleveland Guardians due to some elbow discomfort, according to Ryan Divish of The Seattle Times. Raley tweaked his elbow on a swing on Saturday night, and it's something he has dealt with before. Outfielder Dominic Canzone is also getting Sunday off to rest his hamstring. Victor Robles will draw into the starting lineup in right field for the M's and will bat ninth against Guardians right-hander Gavin Williams. Raley played all nine innings in Saturday's 4-3 loss in Cleveland, going 0-for-3 with a walk in his four plate appearances. It doesn't sound like Raley's injury is very serious, so he could be right back in action for Monday's series opener at home against the division-rival Los Angeles Angels. Raley rarely faces left-handed pitchers, but he's hitting .243 (46-for-189) with 14 homers, 35 RBI, and 24 runs scored in 209 plate appearances versus right-handed hurlers this year, making him useful for his power from the left side in deeper leagues. He's rostered in 15% of Yahoo leagues.

Dominic Canzone Returns From Hamstring Injury on Wednesday
Seattle Mariners outfielder Dominic Canzone (hamstring) is serving as the designated hitter and is batting sixth on Wednesday against the hosting Pittsburgh Pirates and right-hander Braxton Ashcraft at PNC Park, according to MLB.com. Canzone was held out as a precaution in Tuesday's win over the Pirates due to a right-hamstring injury. The left-handed-hitting outfielder is back now, though, and he should draw consideration as a waiver-wire pickup in fantasy baseball leagues on the strong side of a platoon for the M's at DH. The 28-year-old has already set new career highs in home runs (12) and RBI (33) in 70 games this year while slashing a nice .281/.353/.562 with a .915 OPS, 28 runs scored, and a stolen base in 201 plate appearances. Canzone has really come on strong in June, going 19-for-54 (.352) with five home runs, two doubles, a triple, 10 RBI, and 10 runs scored in 19 games played. Fantasy managers searching for outfield upgrades should consider Canzone, who is only rostered in 20% of Yahoo leagues.

Luke Raley Back From Illness, Starting in Pittsburgh
Seattle Mariners outfielder Luke Raley (illness) is starting in right field for Seattle and will bat sixth against the hosting Pittsburgh Pirates and right-hander Mitch Keller at PNC Park on Tuesday, according to MLB.com. Raley missed three games against the Baltimore Orioles last week with tightness in his back and then missed the entire series over the weekend against the Boston Red Sox due to the flu, so this will be his first game back in the lineup since June 14. With the 31-year-old left-handed-hitting outfielder feeling better and back in action, he'll be an option in DFS lineups against a right-hander. The former seventh-round pick of the Los Angeles Dodgers in 2016 out of Lake Erie College doesn't play much against southpaws, but he has done plenty of damage against righties, going 44-for-176 (.250) with all 14 of his home runs and all 35 of his RBI this year. Raley is rostered in only 16% of Yahoo leagues because he's not an everyday player, but his pop against righties is significant enough to warrant a roster spot in deeper leagues for outfield depth.

Dominic Canzone Out on Tuesday With Hamstring Injury
Seattle Mariners outfielder Dominic Canzone (hamstring) is not in the team's starting lineup for Tuesday's tilt on the road at PNC Park against the hosting Pittsburgh Pirates, according to MLB.com. Victor Robles is starting in left field for the M's and will hit eighth against Pirates right-hander Mitch Keller. Canzone is considered day-to-day after leaving Sunday's game early against the Boston Red Sox with a hamstring injury. The Mariners had a day off on Monday, but he's still not feeling good enough to return for the series opener on Tuesday. The good news for the Mariners is that they reinstated outfielder Randy Arozarena (hamstring) from the 10-day injured list, and he will serve as the team's designated hitter on Tuesday. Left-handed-hitting outfielder Luke Raley (illness) is also back from an illness. The 28-year-old Canzone has been an asset against right-handers in mixed leagues in 2026, hitting .281/.353/.562 with a .915 OPS, 12 home runs, 33 RBI, 28 runs, and a stolen base in his 178 at-bats. He has already set career highs in homers and RBI in 70 games played in 2026.

Randy Arozarena Activated From Injured List on Tuesday
The Seattle Mariners activated outfielder Randy Arozarena (hamstring) from the 10-day injured list on Tuesday, according to MLB.com. While the M's have yet to release their starting lineup for Tuesday's contest against the Pittsburgh Pirates and right-hander Mitch Keller at PNC Park, Arozarena should be back in the starting nine. The 31-year-old veteran outfielder is returning from a minor left-hamstring injury after a minimal stay on the IL. Fantasy managers will want to get the two-time All-Star and former Rookie of the Year back in their starting lineups in all formats. Arozarena has been one of Seattle's most consistent offensive performers, slashing .291/.377/.448 with an .826 OPS, seven home runs, 33 RBI, 19 stolen bases, and 47 runs scored across 71 games and 302 plate appearances. He's hitting an even .300 (12-for-40) with a homer, two doubles, seven RBI, four stolen bases, and seven runs scored in 11 games in June as well.

Randy Arozarena Could Rejoin the Mariners This Week
Seattle Mariners outfielder Randy Arozarena (hamstring) did some baserunning on Sunday and could come off the 10-day injured list before the team's series opener on Tuesday on the road against the Pittsburgh Pirates, according to Adam Jude of The Seattle Times. Seattle has a scheduled day off on Monday. The 31-year-old has been cleared to travel with the M's during their road trip this week, so if he doesn't come back on Tuesday, he could return at any point this week. When Arozarena returns to Seattle's starting lineup, he should be considered a must-start in all fantasy formats. The Cuban slugger has been money at the plate so far in 2026 in his second full season with the Mariners, slashing .291/.377/.448 with an .826 OPS, seven home runs, 33 RBI, 19 stolen bases, and 47 runs scored across 71 games and 302 plate appearances. With the two-time All-Star out recently with a minor hamstring pull, Victor Robles has received extra run in Seattle's outfield.

Dominic Canzone Exits With Hamstring Issue, Expects to be Fine
Mariners outfielder Dominic Canzone (hamstring) exited Sunday's game against the Red Sox in the sixth inning with a reported hamstring injury. The 28-year-old showed clear discomfort while running out an RBI groundout and was removed immediately after the play. Canzone later said he expects to be fine and is not expected to miss significant time, as he traveled with the team to Pittsburg for their upcoming six-game road trip. He has been one of Seattle's most productive hitters this season, slashing .281/.353/.562 with a .915 OPS and 12 home runs. The 12 homers are already a career high, showing Canzone has taken a major step forward. The Mariners will continue monitoring his status, but the injury does not appear serious at this point.
