Plays hero in Saturday's win Haniger went 2-for-3 with two RBI from a solo home run and a game-winning bases-loaded walk while adding another base on balls and an additional run in an extra-inning victory over...

Impact Haniger was responsible for the Mariners' first and final runs of the night, accomplishing the former with his 11th home run of the season in the fifth to start a comeback from a 5-0 deficit. It was Haniger's second straight game leaving the yard after having homered just once in the previous 13 contests, and it also extended his on-base streak to eight consecutive starts. Haniger's plate discipline also paid off in the 10th when he pushed the game-winning run across with his second walk of the night, and he's looked much more like his typically reliable self of late by forging a .286 average and 1.087 OPS across the 36 plate appearances covering his last nine games.

Reaches 10-homer mark Haniger went 2-for-4 with a solo home run and an additional run scored in Friday's 10-2 win over the Phillies.

Impact Haniger produced his first multi-hit effort since June 14. He singled in the second inning and scored on a Luke Raley homer before going yard himself in the seventh inning for Seattle's last run of the game. Aside from the first few weeks of the season, Haniger has not been very consistent at the plate. He has a .209/.293/.347 slash line with 10 homers, 36 RBI, 34 runs scored and 11 doubles over 93 contests this season. He's still getting a decent share of playing time between right field and designated hitter, but Haniger's role could be reduced once Dominic Canzone (thigh) or Julio Rodriguez (ankle) return from their respective injuries.

Heading to bench Wednesday Haniger is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Red Sox.

Impact Haniger will hit the bench for the afternoon contest after he had started in each of Seattle's last six games while going 4-for-20 with a solo home run and five walks. The Mariners will likely continue to open up a lineup spot for Haniger against left-handed pitching, but his starting opportunities versus righties may be more sporadic, especially once Julio Rodriguez (ankle) and Dominic Canzone (adductor) return from the injured list.

Drawing fifth straight start Haniger will serve as the Mariners' designated hitter and No. 8 batter in Monday's game against the Red Sox.

Impact Haniger will nab his fifth straight start Monday after producing two extra-base hits and drawing five walks over the past four contests. His recent success at the plate could be enough for Haniger to remain a regular in the lineup for the time being, but he'll be at risk of moving into a part-time role as soon as his bat cools down.

Goes deep in loss Haniger went 1-for-3 with a solo home run and a walk Wednesday in a loss to the Angels.

Impact Haniger accounted for Seattle's only run with a second-inning solo blast to center field. He'd been struggling coming into the contest, batting a meager .130 through 10 contests in July and an even more meager .098 over his previous 18 games overall. Still. Haniger has consistently been in the Mariners' lineup of late due in part to injuries to Julio Rodriguez (ankle) and Dominic Canzone (thigh).

JULY 25, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Playing time rising Haniger will start in right field and bat fifth in Wednesday's game against the Angels.

Impact Haniger will pick up his fourth start in five games, with two coming against lefties and two coming against righties. The 33-year-old has gone 1-for-7 with five strikeouts and two walks since the All-Star break and is holding down a career-worst .615 OPS on the season, but he could nonetheless be in store for an uptick in playing time while the Mariners are down three regulars due to injury (Julio Rodriguez, J.P. Crawford and Dominic Canzone) in addition to recently moving struggling everyday first baseman Ty France off the 40-man roster.

JULY 24, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Produces as DH in win Haniger slotted in as the designated hitter in Sunday's win over the Astros and went 1-for-2 with a walk and a run.

Impact Haniger was logging his second consecutive start after sitting out the last two games before the All-Star break and the first one after the pause in play concluded Friday. The 33-year-old was able to make some offensive contributions, which have been few and far between for him this season in his return from a one-year stay with the Giants. The Mariners notably cut ties with another once-productive veteran in Ty France after Sunday's game, and Haniger may need to give his current .208/.287/.335 slash line a serious boost soon in order to avoid a similar fate.

Sitting Saturday Haniger isn't in the Mariners' lineup Saturday against the Angels.

Impact Haniger will take a seat on the bench Saturday after going 1-for-7 with a run scored through the first two games of the series. While he rests, Victor Robles, Julio Rodriguez and Luke Raley will start across Seattle's outfield.

Smashes three-run shot Haniger went 1-for-3 with a three-run home run Saturday in a loss to the Blue Jays.

Impact Seattle was held scoreless until Haniger swatted a 407-foot, three-run shot in the eighth inning. The long ball was just his second hit over his past 26 at-bats, though both knocks have been homers. Haniger has eight home runs and 34 RBI through 285 plate appearances on the season, well off the pace of his career-best 39-homer, 100-RBI performance over 157 contests in 2021.

Playing time on downswing Haniger is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Rays.

Impact Haniger has picked up just one start in the Mariners' last five games, with Seattle facing five right-handers during that stretch. The Mariners should continue to make room in the lineup for Haniger against left-handed pitching, but Mitch Garver looks to be the preferred option ahead of Haniger at designated hitter when the team faces righties.
