The Seattle Mariners are placing outfielder Mitch Haniger (testicle) on the 10-day injured list on Friday with a ruptured testicle and are calling up reliever Tayler Scott from Triple-A Tacoma in a corresponding move. Ouch. The Mariners also recently placed outfielder prospect Braden Bishop on the injured list with a lacerated spleen, so they've had some bad luck of late and are extremely thin in the outfield after trading Jay Bruce to the Phillies last weekend. Mac [...]

Seattle Mariners outfielder Mitch Haniger left the game early on Thursday with a lower-body contusion after fouling a ball off of himself. Haniger was hitless with two strikeouts in his three plate appearances before leaving the game. His average is now down to .220 on the year with 15 home runs, 46 runs, 32 RBI and four steals. The counting stats aren't bad, but his fantasy owners were expecting a bit more after his 2018 breakout. Haniger will need to stop striking out as much as he has this y[...]

Seattle Mariners outfielder Mitch Haniger is on the bench for Tuesday's tilt against Jesse Chavez and the Texas Rangers. Haniger is scuffling at the plate over his last six games hitting just .167, so the day of rest could do him some good. For the year he's hitting a lowly .229, but has made significant contributions with 13 homers, 41 runs, and 28 RBI. The 28-year-old is striking out a lot more than usual with a 28.0% K-rate this season, so his average may not creep all the way back up to th[...]

Seattle Mariners outfielder Mitch Haniger was all over the stat sheet Sunday finishing the game 1-for-3 with two runs, two RBI, and a walk. He swatted a two-run homer off of Twins starter Kyle Gibson in the fifth to tie the game before Daniel Vogelbach followed that up to go back-to-back. Haniger now has a dozen big flies on the season with 26 RBI and 38 runs but is batting only .232 after hitting over .280 in each of the last two years. It appears this might be the trend moving forward as he[...]

Seattle Mariners outfielder Mitch Haniger clubbed a leadoff homer to start the game Monday night versus Oakland. He finished the night going 1-for-4 with a walk and a strikeout as his big fly put him in double-digits with 10 on the year. It's been a disappointing season average-wise for Haniger hitting just .229 on the year as he's seen his K% elevate to a worrisome 27.7%. Thankfully, he's second in the AL in runs (34) and has four steals to go along with 22 RBI to keep fantasy owners happy. Ex[...]

Now that I've already spoiled Avengers: Endgame on Youtube(hey, the Russo brothers said it was OK), it's time to pivot to the other most topical item in 2019 pop culture: Game of Thrones.I admit I'm not an avid viewer of the show, so don't take this as a love letter to the series. OK, I haven't really "watched" the show per se, but it looks cool. It's not that I don't want to watch it, I just don't have that kind of time to invest. Put it this way - I'm still halfway through Season 2 of Breaking[...]

Seattle Mariners outfielder Mitch Haniger broke out of a nine-game homerless streak with his eighth shot of the season on Sunday afternoon. Haniger finished the day going 1-for-3 with a pair of walks and runs scored as the M's bats woke up to a 10-0 thumping of the Indians. The solo bomb netted Haniger his 20th RBI of the season, and he's now hitting .246 with an AL-leading 30 runs scored. Expect Haniger to continue to put up excellent counting stats this season and his average to eventually cr[...]
