News:
OF Dominic Canzone remains out of the lineup tonight against the lefty, but is continuing to experience soreness from being struck on the wrist (the pisiform bone, to be exact) by a 88.2 mph sinker a week ago in the series opener at Philly. He’s had a cortisone shot which is helping calm the inflammation and is available to pinch hit if necessary. He does say he’s feeling better and looks forward to returning to the lineup as soon as the Mariners face a righty starter again.
Captain’s Log:
Dan Wilson on all the lefty starters the Mariners have faced lately:
“It has been a stretch of lefties. We are getting a little bit more comfortable and I think what we saw yesterday in terms of their approach and how they handled [Lopez], I thought it was awesome. They’re each going to present their own little difficulties or challenges, but it good to have gotten a little more comfortable. We just hadn’t seen a lot of them for a long stretch, and now we’ve seen a lot of them.”
