Seattle Mariners outfielder Mitch Haniger (ankle) is dealing with a Grade 2 high-ankle sprain, per manager Scott Servais. He was placed on the 10-day injured list Saturday. The 31-year-old initially sustained a high-ankle sprain during Friday's loss to the Miami Marlins. Haniger is facing an extended absence, but the official timeline for his recovery has yet to be announced. Dylan Moore should see an uptick in at-bats while Haniger is sidelined and is a speculative add in deep-league formats....

He wound up picking up a single on that at-bat but was removed by pinch-runner Abraham Toro.

The Seattle Mariners reinstated outfielder Mitch Haniger from the COVID-19 injured list on Friday and designated right-hander Matt Koch for assignment in a corresponding move.

Haniger has been with the team in Tampa this week, but he said on Wednesday that he's not quite 100% and remains on the COVID-19 list. The 31-year-old came down with the virus on April 16 and has been out since, so the Mariners are easing him back into baseball activities. There's a chance that Haniger could be activated from the COVID list and return to Seattle's lineup at ...

It was reported that Haniger could be activated on Wednesday after testing positive for COVID-19 on Saturday, but the decision hasn't yet been set in stone.

Seattle Mariners outfielder Mitch Haniger has agreed to a one-year, $7.75 million deal that will allow him and the club to avoid arbitration. The 31-year-old will have a lot to play for this year as he'll be an unrestricted free agent after the 2022 season. Last year, over 157 games, he slashed .253/.318/.486 with 39 home runs, 100 RBI and 110 runs. RotoBaller has him ranked just inside the top-100.

"The organization has never approached my representatives or me about an extension," said Haniger. He will become a free agent after the 2022 season and will most likely test the market.

Haniger smashed his draft cost in 2021 on the back of 39 homers, 110 runs scored, and 100 RBI. That statistical line is quite hard to come by, and I'm sure nobody expected it from Haniger in 2021 even after it became clear he was finally healthy. The problem is that the power production there really is not backed up by the underlying metrics. Haniger's barrel rate was good (12.6%), but not elite (only three other hitters cleared 35 homers with a sub-13% Brl%), and his exit velocity numbers leave...
