San Francisco Giants outfielder Mitch Haniger (hamstring) has been sidelined roughly a month due to a Grade 1 hamstring strain. He suffered a setback, which has pushed his timetable backwards. However, it appears the 32-year-old is finally getting back on track. On Friday, Haniger mentioned that he's getting ready to hit off a tee. It sounds like it could be some time before he begins a rehab assignment. It's likely that Haniger isn't back with the Giants until at least early May.

According to manager Gabe Kapler, San Francisco Giants outfielder Mitch Haniger (oblique) will be re-evaluated next weekend. The veteran began the season on the 10-day injured list because of an oblique strain. However, Kapler hopes to have him back after "a week of games." Haniger signed a three-year, $43.5 million deal in the offseason after spending the last five years in Seattle. He finished the 2022 campaign with a .246/.308/.429 slash line, 34 RBI, and 11 home runs (65 strikeouts). Blake...

The 32-year-old was signed to a three-year, $43.5 million deal over the offseason to bolster the Giants' outfield squad.

San Francisco Giants manager Gabe Kapler said the team doesn't think outfielder Mitch Haniger (oblique) will be ready for Opening Day next Thursday. If Haniger opens the year on the injured list, he would be eligible to return for the sixth game of the season, so he may not miss much time at all for fantasy managers. The 32-year-old was able to resume throwing and hitting earlier this week, so he's improving and should be able to make his Giants regular season debut before long after suffering ...

San Francisco Giants shortstop Brandon Crawford (knee) will return to the Cactus League lineup this week. Meanwhile, outfielder Mitch Haniger (oblique) has started throwing and hitting in camp. Outfielder Austin Slater (hamstring) isn't doing any baseball activities with nine days until Opening Day. Crawford received a cortisone injection in his left knee last week and still has a shot to be ready to kick off the 2023 season, although at this point in his career he's not much of a ...

San Francisco Giants outfielder Mitch Haniger (oblique) is considered day-to-day after suffering an injury ahead of Friday's Cactus League matchup. The right-handed slugger was scratched from the lineup earlier in the day for unknown reasons. It appears Haniger is dealing with oblique tightness, which could hold him out for a few days, according to manager Gabe Kapler. The 32-year-old only managed to play 57 games last season, so hopefully he can stay healthy in 2023. The Giants signed Haniger ...

San Francisco Giants outfielder Mitch Haniger's 2022 season was shortened by an ankle sprain, but when he was on the field, he produced. He hit .246 with 31 runs and 34 RBI while homering 11 times across 57 games. Haniger's always shown immense power with a career 10.3% barrel rate while posting an 11.8% rate this year without hitting the ball on the ground much (37.3% ground ball rate). However, a strikeout rate that's sat at 25.8% over the past three seasons has limited the 32-year-old's ...

The San Francisco Giants and free-agent outfielder Mitch Haniger agreed to a three-year, $43.5 million deal on Tuesday, according to sources.

San Fran was able to land Haniger at a pretty decent cost because of a long list of injuries early in his career. The 31-year-old managed to play in only 57 games in 2022, hitting ...

The Boston Red Sox and Texas Rangers are among the most serious suitors for free-agent outfielder Mitch Haniger, according to sources. Haniger wasn't given a $19.65 million qualifying offer from the Seattle Mariners at the end of the season, so he has hit free agency for the first time in his career. The 31-year-old has had his share of injury concerns in his career and suffered a high-ankle sprain in April that limited him to 57 games in 2022. When he was healthy, he was solid for the M's and ...
