SEATTLE -- The Seattle Mariners reinstated shortstop J.P. Crawford from the 10-day injured list on Wednesday, and optioned outfielder Dominic Canzone to Triple-A Tacoma.
The Mariners' shortstop has been on the IL since July 23 with a right hand fracture, after he was hit on the hand by Los Angeles Angels lefty Tyler Anderson in the first inning on July 22. Crawford made a pair of rehab appearances in Tacoma this weekend before being activated.
Crawford, who has been with Seattle since 2019, is in the midst of a frustrating season at the plate after his breakout 2023. Crawford hit .266 in 145 games last season with a career-high 19 homers and 65 RBIs, but has struggled to match those numbers during an injury-plagued 2024.
The 29-year-old Crawford is hitting .204 with nine homers and 32 RBIs this season in 77 games and missed 26 games with an oblique strain earlier in the season.
Canzone is hitting .196 this season in 67 games with eight home runs and 17 RBIs, and has missed nearly two months of the season because of injuries. He was acquired by Seattle in July 2023 from Arizona in the Paul Sewald trade, along with infielder Josh Rojas.
