Fantasy Impact:

The surgery will require 6-8 weeks of rest and rehab, which means Haniger is doubtful to be ready for Opening Day. The 29-year-old appeared in just 63 games last season due to a ruptured testicle and back problems. In 2018 he posted an .859 OPS with 26 homers so there is upside here if he can stay healthy this season.
