Summary:
Mariners outfielder Dominic Canzone will not be in the starting lineup for ALCS Game 7 against the Blue Jays. Despite starting against all right-handed pitchers previously in the postseason, Canzone’s poor playoff performance (3-for-27) has led to him being benched in favor of Victor Robles, who will play right field and bat ninth. This decision comes as the Blue Jays send right-hander Shane Bieber to the mound.

Mariners Shake Up Lineup for Crucial Game 7; Canzone Benched
SEATTLE – In a surprising move, the Seattle Mariners will be without outfielder Dominic Canzone in the lineup for tonight’s decisive ALCS Game 7 matchup against the Toronto Blue Jays.
Canzone, a left-handed hitter, had been a consistent presence against right-handed pitching throughout the Mariners’ postseason run, starting in all nine previous games where they faced a righty. However, his struggles at the plate, batting just .111 (3-for-27) during the playoffs, have prompted manager [Manager’s name if available, otherwise: “the Mariners manager”] to make a change.
Victor Robles will take Canzone’s place in right field, batting ninth in the order. The Blue Jays are sending right-hander Shane Bieber to the mound.
The Mariners are hoping Robles’ presence can provide a spark as they look to advance to the World Series.
