Scratched due to field conditions Haniger was scratched from the lineup for Friday's spring game against Cincinnati since the field was wet, Shannon Drayer of 710 ESPN Seattle reports.

Impact Haniger was initially slated to lead off Friday, but his removal from the lineup isn't related to any injury. If conditions improve, the outfielder should be available Saturday.

Late scratch Friday Haniger was a late scratch from the lineup for Friday's spring game against the Reds for an unspecified reason, Corey Brock of The Athletic reports.

Impact The Mariners didn't provide a reason for Haniger's removal from the lineup. Luis Liberato will lead off in his place, while Julio Rodriguez will shift to right field.

Could see leadoff chances Haniger, who thrived in the leadoff role over 45 games in 2018, is a candidate to see time at the top of the order in the coming season, Daniel Kramer of MLB.com reports. "I love h...

Impact Haniger appears to be all the way back from the myriad of injuries that plagued him over the last 21 months, as he's followed up strong showings in early spring camp batting practices with a .308 average (4-for-13), two doubles, one home run, four RBI and three runs across his first six Cactus League games. Servais noted Wednesday that Haniger's past success at the top of the order -- from which he produced a .330/.388/.580 slash with 19 doubles, two triples and eight home runs during his All-Star 2018 campaign -- could make him an ideal occasional alternative to the left-handed J.P. Crawford in the No. 1 hole.

Slugs first spring homer Haniger went 1-for-2 with a three-run home run in a Cactus League tie with the Rockies on Thursday.

Impact So far this spring, Haniger has bore a striking resemblance to the rising star that he profiled as during the 2018 and 2019 seasons before injuries derailed him for the last three months of the latter campaign and all of 2020. Haniger set the tone even before Cactus League games began with some impressive batting practice performances in camp, and Thursday's production gives him a hit in all three spring games, including two extra-base hits overall.

Productive in return to game action Haniger went 1-for-2 with a run in the Mariners' 5-4 Cactus League win over the Padres on Sunday, his first game action since June 6, 2019.

Impact The veteran outfielder legged out an infield single in his first at-bat, immediately breaking the ice in his long-awaited return to action. Haniger admitted that plenty of nerves accompanied his excitement in getting back on the field and credited his recent productive batting-practice sessions with giving him some much-needed confidence. Manager Scott Servais opted to pull Haniger in the top of the fourth inning for Jarred Kelenic, and Daniel Kramer of MLB.com reports short games could be a common theme for Haniger early in the Cactus League schedule. Additionally, the 30-year-old could see some time at designated hitter as he acclimates back into game action.

Impresses in BP Haniger hit several towering fly balls during Saturday's batting practice session, Daniel Kramer of MLB.com reports.

Impact Any positive news regarding Haniger is welcome at this point after how difficult the last 18-plus months have been on the outfielder from a health perspective. The veteran has been cleared for all activities during spring training after focusing heavily on improving body movement as opposed to building strength, and it's resulted in what he feels is an improved swing. Despite last having seen game action in June of 2019, Haniger opens spring training as the projected starter in right field, with Jake Fraley likely his primary competitor at the onset.

Haniger healthy, hopes to regain All-Star form for Seattle

Ready for spring training Haniger will be fully healthy for spring training, Ryan Divish of The Seattle Times reports.

Impact General manager Jerry Dipoto called Haniger a "full go." It's possible there's some optimism there, but it's generally believable given that it's been quite some time since the outfielder's latest injury. Groin and back injuries cut his 2019 campaign short after just 63 games, while back surgery in February of 2020 kept him out for all of last season. Haniger could be quite a useful player if he's fully back to normal, as he's a career .267/.348/.480 hitter, but it's hard to have confidence in him staying healthy and productive all season given his long list of injury woes.

Resumes full activities Haniger (back) has resumed full baseball activities, Ryan Divish of The Seattle Times reports.

Impact Haniger sat out the 2020 season due to various injuries, but he avoided arbitration with the Mariners in early December and is expected to serve as the team's starting right fielder on Opening Day. Since he's resumed full baseball activities, Haniger is expected to be ready when position players report to spring training.

Avoids arbitration Haniger (back) signed a one-year, $3.01 million contract with the Mariners on Saturday, avoiding arbitration, Robert Murray of FanSided.com reports.

Impact Haniger is expected to begin the 2021 season as the Mariners' starting right fielder, and he'll avoid arbitration by agreeing to a new contract Saturday. The 29-year-old missed the entire 2020 campaign due to a slew of injuries, but he's been effective over 350 major-league contests and should be a valuable asset for the Mariners and fantasy managers if he can return to form next year.
