Answering whether or notMitch Haniger is worth a late-round flier in fantasy baseball is not as easy to answer as it should be. That is because we cannot predict whether or not he'll be healthy enough to play a meaningful amount of games to warrant a roster spot. We can't predict health of any player, but with Haniger, it's especially difficult.In his eight-year major league career, he's played more than 100 games just twice due to a litany of injuries, including left/right oblique strains, ...

Fantasy managers in mixed leagues can send the 32-year-old veteran to the waiver wire, as he was hitting only .230 (34-for-148) with nine...

San Francisco Giants outfielder Mitch Haniger (forearm) will have surgery on Thursday in Los Angeles to fix his fractured right forearm, with Dr. Steve Shin performing the procedure. The Giants will have more updates on Haniger and a potential timetable for his return on Friday after his surgery is complete.
