Roster %
Eligibility
Mitch Haniger had a productive outing in the Mariners' 9-3 victory over the Reds, going 2-for-3 with a home run, a double, two runs scored, and three RBI.
Fantasy Impact
This performance underscores his solid start to the season, boosting his batting average to .286 and his RBI count to 11 through 16 games. Haniger's ability to contribute power and consistent run production makes him a valuable asset in fantasy lineups. His knack for extra-base hits and driving in runs can be valuable for fantasy managers looking for outfield productivity.
The San Francisco Giants have traded Mitch Haniger in a package deal to the Seattle Mariners.
Fantasy Impact
It is a reunion for Haniger as he heads back to Seattle after one season with the Giants where he was banged up most of the year. He should find himself back in right field and in the middle of the lineup with the Mariners.
Although his batting average sits at a lackluster .224, Haniger's ability to produce runs and hit for extra bases makes him a valuable fantasy asset in deeper leagues.
Fantasy Impact
While his strikeout rate of 0.271 is a concern, his walk rate of 0.059 and wOBA of 0.295 suggest that there is room for improvement in his overall offensive production. Fantasy managers should continue to monitor Haniger's performance, as he has the potential to provide a boost in power and run production down the stretch.
The Giants activated OF Mitch Haniger from the 60-day IL Tuesday.
Fantasy Impact
Haniger has been out of action since mid-June with a fractured right forearm. Despite struggling on his recent rehab assignment, he is healthy enough to rejoin the team as they attempt to continue their push for the playoffs. Fantasy managers should expect the veteran to see regular playing time in the outfield.
Mitch Haniger (forearm) is trending towards returning this week during the Giants' series with the Reds.
Fantasy Impact
Haniger has been on the IL since June 13th with a fractured forearm but has appeared in multiple rehab games and is nearing a return. The Giants play the Reds Monday-Wednesday, so Haniger could be back in the lineup very soon.
