Mitch Haniger - Page 5 - MLB News, Rumors, & Updates

Cleared for activity X-rays showed Haniger's forearm has properly healed, and he was cleared to resume baseball activity Wednesday, Susan Slusser of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

Impact Haniger underwent surgery in June after suffering a fracture in his right forearm, and he can now begin his rehab process. There is no immediate timetable for Haniger's return, but he will almost certainly be sidelined past his eligible return date of August 13. The 32-year-old outfielder was slashing .230/.281/.372 through 160 plate appearances before getting hurt.

Shifts to 60-day injured list Haniger (forearm) was transferred to the 60-day injured list Thursday, Maria I. Guardado of MLB.com reports.

Impact Haniger has been ruled out until late August after fracturing his right forearm, so this move was strictly procedural. Dalton Guthrie was added to the 40-man roster in Haniger's place.

Out 10 weeks after surgery Haniger underwent successful surgery on his fractured right forearm, and he's expected to miss 10 weeks while recovering, Andrew Baggarly of The Athletic reports.

Impact As Baggarly notes, that puts Haniger back with San Francisco right around the end of August. The outfielder suffered the injury after being hit squarely in the forearm versus the Cardinals over the weekend. Assuming a clean recovery, Haniger could help San Francisco and fantasy rosters over the final month of the 2023 campaign.

Needs surgery for fractured forearm Haniger will undergo surgery Thursday to repair a fractured right forearm, Maria I. Guardado of MLB.com reports.

Impact It's something which could cause him to miss the bulk of the rest of the season, but a clearer timetable for Haniger's return is expected Friday. The veteran outfielder suffered the injury when he was struck by a Jack Flaherty pitch during Tuesday's win over the Cardinals.

Placed on 10-day IL Haniger (forearm) was placed on the 10-day injured list Wednesday.

Impact Haniger was hit by a pitch and suffered a fractured forearm in Tuesday's win over the Cardinals and he will now be unavailable for the foreseeable future. Although he's eligible to return in 10 days, that seems very unlikely considering the specific injury he sustained. More information on the outfielder's status will likely be provided after Haniger undergoes additional imaging. In the meantime, Luis Matos was called up from Triple-A Sacramento and will make his major-league debut Wednesday versus St. Louis.

Diagnosed with fractured forearm Haniger left Tuesday's game versus the Cardinals with a fractured right forearm, Maria I. Guardado of MLB.com reports.

Impact Haniger was plunked in the arm by Jack Flaherty, and he was diagnosed with a fracture after leaving the game. The outfielder will assuredly be placed on the injured list before Wednesday's game versus St. Louis, and it appears the Giants will bring up top prospect Luis Matos to replace Haniger on the roster.

Sitting Friday Haniger isn't starting Friday against the Cubs, Maria I. Guardado of MLB.com reports.

Impact Haniger has cooled off considerably over the past seven days, slashing just .136/.269/.182 in that span. He'll sit Friday in favor of Blake Sabol, who gets the start in left field while batting seventh.

Doubles twice in blowout win Haniger went 3-for-5 with two doubles, two RBI and two runs scored in Monday's 14-4 win over the Pirates.

Impact Haniger has a trio of three-hit efforts over his last four games, and five multi-hit contests in his last 10. He had a pair of RBI doubles as part of the Giants' eight-run seventh inning. Haniger has been a big part of the team's recent success -- he was hitting just .172 as recently as May 16 and is now up to .255 through 28 contests this year. He's added four home runs, 19 RBI, 16 runs scored, six doubles and a stolen base.

MAY 30, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Homers again Saturday Haniger went 3-for-4 with a two-run home run in Saturday's 3-1 win over the Brewers.

Impact Haniger's second homer in as many days provided the Giants' margin of victory in a low-scoring contest. It was also his second straight three-hit effort, and his fourth multi-hit game in his last eight. After starting slow following a season-opening stint on the injured list with an oblique strain, it appears the outfielder is rounding back into form. He's slashing .237/.265/.402 with four homers, 17 RBI, 13 runs scored and a stolen base over 26 games while seeing a near-everyday role in left field.

Belts third homer Haniger went 3-for-5 with a double, a home run, two runs scored and four RBI in Friday's 15-1 rout of the Brewers.

Impact The 32-year-old snapped a 19-game power drought with the performance, and Haniger's only two other homers this season came at high altitude during a two-game set in Mexico City at the end of April. During the month of May, he's slashing a weak .195/.215/.273 with a 32.9 percent strikeout rate against a 2.5 percent walk rate.

Logs first steal Haniger went 2-for-4 with an RBI, a stolen base and two runs scored in Sunday's 7-5 win over the Marlins.

Impact Haniger was busiest in the sixth inning, driving in the go-ahead run with an RBI single before scoring on Patrick Bailey's productive out. The steal was Haniger's first of the season, though he's typically not a huge speed threat -- he's never had more than eight steals in a season, and this one was his first since 2021. The outfielder is slashing .211/.228/.329 with two home runs, 11 RBI, 10 runs scored and three doubles through 21 contests.

MAY 22, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Sitting out Wednesday Haniger is not in the Giants' lineup for Wednesday's game against the Phillies, Susan Slusser of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

Impact Haniger had a day off Sunday, too, as he carries a woeful .491 OPS into action Wednesday. Blake Sabol will be in left field.
