Sam Haggerty - Page 6 - MLB News, Rumors, & Updates

Making most of opportunity Haggerty started in center field, batted leadoff and went 2-for-5 with a solo home run and was caught stealing in Wednesday's 4-3 loss to the Yankees.

Impact Haggerty launched his first home run of the season in the seventh inning to give the Rangers a 3-1 lead. He made a fourth straight start in center field since Evan Carter (quadriceps) landed on the 10-day injured list and has hit safely in all four contests. He's also batting leadoff against lefties. Haggerty's making the most of this opportunity and has hit safely in all six games in which he's started. Carter's injury is a Grade 2 strain which will likely require more than the 10-day minimum, so the opportunity for Haggerty could be an extended one.

Starts in center field Sunday Haggerty started in center field and batted leadoff Sunday, going 1-for-4 with a run scored in a 4-3 loss to Houston.

Impact Haggerty stepped in for Evan Carter on Saturday, when the latter was scratched due to a quad issue. The injury landed Carter on the 10-day injured list, is considered a Grade 2 strain and will likely force him to miss two weeks at least, according to MLB.com. That likely means the switch-hitting Haggerty and righty-batting Kevin Pillar will split duties in the center field.

Late addition to lineup Haggerty started in center field and went 1-for-3 with a walk, a double and a run scored in Saturday's 5-1 win over Houston.

Impact Haggerty was a late addition to the starting lineup after Evan Carter (quad) was scratched, per Kennedi Landry of MLB.com. Texas manager Bruce Bochy said Carter's removal was precautionary, but he's not expected to play Sunday's series finale. Haggerty is expected to fill-in at center field until Carter is ready.

Starts in center against lefty Haggerty started in center field and went 1-for-4 with an RBI in Friday's 2-1 loss to Detroit.

Impact Haggerty was called up earlier in the day and found himself starting against a left-hander. The lefty-hitting Evan Carter started the previous three games -- all against righties -- but was held out against a southpaw, which historically have given Carter problems.

Added to big-league roster The Rangers selected Haggerty's contract from Triple-A Round Rock on Friday.

Impact Haggerty inked a minor-league deal with Texas during the offseason after missing most of last season due to an Achilles injury, and he's enjoyed a strong start to 2025 at Round Rock with a .313/.383/.398 slash line and seven steals in 22 games. The 30-year-old will provide the Rangers with some outfield depth, though he's also seen action at first, second and third base during his big-league career.

Healthy for spring training Haggerty (Achilles) will start at second base and bat leadoff in Wednesday's Cactus League game against the Reds.

Impact While he was with the Mariners organization last season, Haggerty didn't play after May 18 last season due to a torn right Achilles tendon that required surgery, but he's made a speedy recovery from the procedure. After inking a minor-league deal with the Rangers over the winter, Haggerty was cleared to make his Cactus League debut Feb. 21, and he'll now see his first action in the infield after making each of his first four spring starts in left field. The 30-year-old switch-hitter is competing for a bench spot on the Rangers' Opening Day roster.

2-time Gold Glove SS Nick Ahmed and OF Sam Haggerty going to Rangers spring training on minor deals

Two-time Gold Glove shortstop Nick Ahmed and outfielder Sam Haggerty will go to major league spring training with the Texas Rangers

FEBRUARY 4, 2025 • Associated Press

Gets NRI from Texas The Rangers signed Haggerty (Achilles) to a minor-league contract Monday that includes an invitation to spring training, Jon Heyman of the New York Post reports.

Impact Haggerty underwent surgery last May to repair a torn right Achilles tendon and it's not clear what level of participation he'll have in spring training or the start of the season. The switch-hitting utility player has a career .263/.355/.452 batting line versus left-handed pitching, so he could fill a niche role with the Rangers eventually.

2024 MLB Non-Tender Free Agents

NOVEMBER 23, 2024 • Associated Press

Let go by Seattle The Mariners non-tendered Haggerty (Achilles) on Friday, Ari Alexander of KPRC 2 Houston reports.

Impact The 27-year-old played in 27 games between the Mariners and Triple-A Tacoma before he suffered a torn Achilles in May, which sidelined him for the rest of the season. It's unclear exactly how long Haggerty will be sidelined, but he'll likely be unavailable for at least the first month of the 2025 campaign.

MAY 28, 2024 • Associated Press

Plays two weekend rehab games Haggerty (undisclosed) went a combined 2-for-7 with a walk and two stolen bases for Triple-A Tacoma in its wins over the Sacramento Bees on Friday and Sunday.

Impact Haggerty started in center field and played six innings on Friday before logging a full seven frames at second base on Sunday. The veteran utility man, who's dealt with a medical issue unrelated to baseball in recent weeks, is likely to be deemed ready for activation at some point during the coming week, but he may get at least another game or two with the Rainiers under his belt considering he'd last seen game action March 16 before Friday.

APRIL 8, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Productive despite part-time role Haggerty started at designated hitter in Wednesday's loss to the Astros and went 1-for-1 with a stolen base and a walk before being pinch-hit for in the sixth inning.

Impact Haggerty's steal leaves him one short of a double-digit tally for the second straight season. The 29-year-old utility man has just five extra-base hits across 101 plate appearances, but he's carrying a .350 on-base percentage thanks largely to a career-best 11.9 percent walk rate. Haggerty's versatility should allow him to see at least a couple of other appearances in Seattle's final four games of the regular season.

SEPTEMBER 28, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Collects seventh steal Haggerty went 1-for-2 with a stolen base in Tuesday's 7-2 win over the Athletics.

Impact Haggerty's playing time remains sporadic, but he was able to make a small impact off the bench Tuesday. The steal was his first since Sept. 2 The speedy outfielder is up to a .247/.330/.321 slash line with seven steals, one home run, four RBI and 13 runs scored through 92 plate appearances this season.

SEPTEMBER 20, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

On base three times in loss Haggerty went 2-for-3 with an RBI single, a double and a run in a loss to the Rays on Sunday.

Impact Haggerty was one of the Mariners' most productive hitters on the afternoon despite operating out of the bottom of the order. The 29-year-old utility man was mostly abysmal at the plate with intermittent playing time over the first four-plus months, but Haggerty has hit his stride of late by posting a .368 average and 1.033 OPS across his last nine games.

SEPTEMBER 11, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Swipes pair of bags in win Haggerty went 0-for-3 with a walk, two stolen bases and a run in a win over the Mets on Saturday.

Impact Haggerty's pair of sixth-inning pilfers led to his one run and would prove to be key given the final margin of victory, with the utility man stealing second after a walk and then taking third base to put himself in position to eventually cross the plate on Mark Vientos' throwing error. Haggerty was just recalled from Triple-A Tacoma on Friday as part of roster expansions, and his extensive defensive versatility should afford him semi-regular playing time, despite his offensive struggles this season.

SEPTEMBER 3, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Recalled from Tacoma The Mariners recalled Haggerty from Triple-A Tacoma on Friday.

Impact As MLB rosters expand to 28 players Friday, Haggerty will return to Seattle to give the team a bench bat capable of fielding multiple positions. His versatility may buy him a fair share of opportunities off the bench, but with a .613 OPS on the season through 62 plate appearances, it's unlikely he makes much of an impact with the Mariners.

SEPTEMBER 1, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Heads back to minors Haggerty was optioned to Triple-A Tacoma on Monday.

Impact Haggerty was called up from Tacoma earlier this month and posted a .930 OPS over eight games, but the Mariners needed to remove someone from the roster to open up a spot for the returning J.P. Crawford, and Haggerty was the player sent out.

AUGUST 21, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Recalled from Triple-A Haggerty was recalled from Triple-A Tacoma on Friday.

Impact With J.P. Crawford heading to the 7-day injured list, Haggerty will take his roster spot. The 29-year-old will make his first appearance in the majors since being optioned June 6. Prior to that, the utility player had been with the Mariners the whole season, but was hitting below the Mendoza Line. Triple-A has been a different story, where he has slashed .325/.411/.590 with eight home runs in 42 games.

AUGUST 11, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Optioned to Triple-A Haggerty was optioned to Triple-A Tacoma on Tuesday.

Impact Haggerty will head to Triple-A for the first time this season after he produced a .190 batting average with two doubles, two RBI, six runs scored and four stolen bases over 42 at-bats in 24 games with Seattle this season. Considering he struggled to find action in the big-league lineup, the 29-year-old could certainly benefit from some extra reps with Tacoma. Haggerty can play every position besides catcher, so he has a strong chance to return to Seattle at some point this summer due to his positional flexibility.
