  • Mariners' Mitch Haniger: Clubs long ball on Opening Day

    Haniger went 2-for-3 with a home run, a walk, two total runs and two total RBI in Thursday's loss to the Red Sox.

    Haniger drilled a two-run homer to right field in the fourth inning for Seattle's first runs of the campaign. It was a promising start to the season for the 33-year-old, who is coming off a pair of injury-plagued campaigns. The last time Haniger made it through a full season mostly healthy was 2021, when he slugged 39 homers and notched 100 RBI over 157 games. That makes him a somewhat alluring option in fantasy, though the health concerns present a significant drawback.

  • Mariners' Mitch Haniger: Pops third spring homer

    Haniger went 2-for-3 with a solo home run in a Cactus League win over the Brewers on Thursday.

    Haniger's solo homer in the first inning was his third of spring and pushed his Cactus League average and OPS to .450 and 1.450, respectively, across 22 plate appearances. The veteran outfielder, who's enjoying a clean bill of health after an injury-hampered 2023 season with the Giants, has also professed several times this spring that he feels extremely comfortable being back in Seattle after a year away.

  • Mariners' Mitch Haniger: Homers in first spring at-bat

    Haniger started at designated hitter and went 1-for-2 with a solo home run in the Mariners' Cactus League loss to the Guardians on Sunday.

    Haniger sent a Tyler Beede offering into the bullpen in the first inning, his first official at-bat since returning to the Mariners this winter after a one-year sabbatical in San Francisco. Daniel Kramer of MLB.com reports Haniger's shot had 108 mph of exit velocity and a distance of 384 feet, certainly encouraging for a veteran that was riddled with injuries in 2023. The outfielder has already expressed his satisfaction with being back in Seattle, and he's been working extensively with a familiar face in director of hitting strategy Jarret DeHart, who was on staff during Haniger's initial Mariners tenure, and a new hire in offensive coordinator Brant Brown.

  • Mariners' Mitch Haniger: Ready for spring action

    Haniger (back) is batting second as the designated hitter for Sunday's spring game against the Guardians.

    The veteran outfielder finished 2023 on the injured list with a back strain, but he's good to go early in spring training. Haniger had a career-worst .631 OPS in just 61 games with the Giants last season as he also dealt with oblique and forearm issues, but the Mariners are hoping for better injury luck in 2024 after acquiring him for Robbie Ray (elbow).

  • Mariners' Mitch Haniger: Dealt to Seattle

    The Giants traded Haniger (back), Anthony DeSclafani (elbow) and cash to the Mariners on Friday in exchange for Robbie Ray (elbow), Jeff Passan of ESPN.com reports.

    Haniger is coming off a 2023 campaign in which he slashed .209/.266/.365 -- easily his worst season at the plate -- and missed most of the year due to oblique, forearm and back injuries. However, Haniger maintained an .817 OPS during five years with the Mariners prior to joining the Giants, and the familiar scenery could spark a return to form for the 33-year-old. Haniger will make $20 million this season and holds a $15.5 million player option for 2025.

  • Giants' Mitch Haniger: Shut down with back strain

    The Giants placed Haniger on the 10-day injured list Friday with a lower back strain, Susan Slusser of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

    It's an early shutdown for Haniger, who appeared in only 61 games this season while slashing .209/.266/.365 with six home runs and 28 RBI across 229 plate appearances. The 32-year-old outfielder is owed $20 million in 2024 and carries a $15.5 million player option for 2025.

  • Giants' Mitch Haniger: Taking seat Wednesday

    Haniger is absent from the lineup for Wednesday's game versus the Diamondbacks, Susan Slusser of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

    Haniger had started each of the last three contests and eight of the last nine, but he will begin this one on the bench. Luis Matos is getting the call in left field for the Giants.

  • Giants' Mitch Haniger: Three RBI in win

    Haniger went 2-for-4 with two doubles and three RBI in Sunday's 11-10 win over the Rockies.

    Haniger plated a run in the fifth with his first double of the game and then two more in the sixth with another two-bagger. It was just his second multi-hit game since returning from the injured list Aug. 29, and he doubled his RBI total since his return with Sunday's performance. In his 16 games back, Haniger is slashing just .163/.241/.408 and has a 31.5 percent strikeout rate.

  • Giants' Mitch Haniger: Smacks homer in win

    Haniger went 2-for-3 with a two-run home run, a double, a walk and an additional run scored in Sunday's 6-3 win over the Rockies.

    Haniger hit safely for his third straight game, and he's homered in consecutive contests. This was his first multi-hit effort in nine contests since he returned from a fractured forearm. The veteran outfielder appears to be getting back on track at the plate. He's still slashing just .224/.277/.402 with six homers, 25 RBI, 24 runs scored and a stolen base over 49 contests this season.

  • Giants' Mitch Haniger: Lifts fifth homer

    Haniger went 1-for-3 with a solo home run in Friday's 9-8 win over the Rockies.

    Haniger has slumped since returning from a fractured right forearm on Aug. 29, going 3-for-23 over eight games in that span. The slow restart has cost him playing time against right-handed pitchers, though he should remain in the lineup regularly versus southpaws. The outfielder's first year with the Giants has been unimpressive with five homers, 23 RBI, 22 runs scored, one stolen base and a .216/.266/.374 slash line over 184 plate appearances.

  • Giants' Mitch Haniger: Sitting against righty

    Haniger is absent from the lineup Tuesday versus the Cubs.

    Mike Yastrzemski will play right field and Joc Pederson is in left as the Giants face right-hander Kyle Hendricks. Haniger has mostly been limited to starts against left-handed pitching opponents since he returned Aug. 29 from a fractured right forearm.

  • Giants' Mitch Haniger: Not playing regularly vs. righties

    Haniger is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Padres.

    Haniger will head to the bench for the second time in five games, with all of his absences coming against right-handed starting pitchers. Since being activated from the 60-day injured list Tuesday, Haniger has gone 1-for-11 with a triple and a walk while striking out five times in three games. Until he shows more signs of life at the plate, Haniger looks like he could be limited to a short-side platoon role for the playoff-hopeful Giants.

  • Giants' Mitch Haniger: On bench Friday

    Haniger is out of the lineup Friday against the Padres.

    Joc Pederson, Wade Meckler and Mike Yastrzemski will start across the outfield as Wilmer Flores serves as the Giants' designated hitter. Haniger is being eased back into action after missing multiple months with a fractured left forearm. He was just reinstated from the 60-day injured list Tuesday.
