Haniger entered a loss to the Dodgers on Wednesday as a pinch hitter in the top of the ninth inning and hit a solo home run in his only at-bat.

EDGE Analysis

The veteran outfielder had returned to the starting lineup Tuesday following a one-game absence due to a quadriceps injury and gone 0-for-4, but he delivered in the clutch off the bench a day later. However, Haniger's blast only served to get the Mariners halfway to Los Angeles' eight-run total and turned out to be the final run of the night for Seattle. The solo shot snapped an 11-game homer-drought for the 33-year-old, whose .353 slugging percentage remains a career low.

Haniger (quad) will start in right field and bat seventh Tuesday against the Dodgers.

EDGE Analysis

Haniger was forced to make an early exit from Saturday's game due to a quad injury, but he was available off the bench Monday and will now return to the starting nine Tuesday. The 33-year-old has begun to heat up lately, slashing .256/.293/.436 with two homers and eight RBI across 41 plate appearances since the start of August.

Haniger (quad) is being considered day-to-day and was available to pinch hit Monday night against the Dodgers, Kyle Glaser of The Associated Press reports.

EDGE Analysis

The Mariners didn't call upon Haniger to pinch hit in the series opener, but the fact that he was available off the bench is a positive sign. The outfielder suffered a quad injury during Saturday's game against the Pirates and hasn't seen any action since.

Haniger went 2-for-2 with a run in a loss to the Pirates on Saturday before being removed from the game in the fourth inning with a quadriceps injury, per MLB.com.

EDGE Analysis

Haniger's injury, which occurred on his leaping attempt at a Rowdy Tellez fourth-inning home run, put a damper on his first multi-hit effort since Aug. 3. The veteran outfielder has started to show some signs of climbing out of his season-long funk this month, as he is sporting a .256 batting average, .729 OPS and eight RBI across 41 August plate appearances, albeit while striking out at an elevated 34.1 percent clip over that span. Haniger is considered day-to-day for the time being.

Haniger is out of the lineup for Thursday's game against the Tigers.

EDGE Analysis

Haniger had started in all but two of the Mariners' previous 18 games, but he'll hit the bench Thursday and looks like he could be at risk of losing hold of his near-everyday role with both Dominic Canzone and Julio Rodriguez recently making returns from the injured list. Canzone will start in right field Thursday, while Rodriguez is out of the lineup after aggravating a right ankle injury Wednesday, though the Mariners don't believe the 23-year-old will have to return to the IL. Assuming Rodriguez is back in action in short order as the Mariners' primary designated hitter, Haniger may have to settle for the short side of a platoon in the outfield with the lefty-hitting Canzone.

Haniger went 1-for-4 with a walk-off three-run double in a win over the Tigers on Thursday.

EDGE Analysis

Haniger stepped to the plate with two out and the bases loaded in the ninth and delivered a double to right field that just got past the glove of Ryan Vilade and skipped to the wall. The bases-clearing knock pushed Haniger's RBI total to six over the last six games. The timely hit also snapped a brief 0-for-9 funk for Haniger, who sports a .208 batting average and .644 OPS across 98 games this season.

Haniger went 2-for-3 with two RBI from a solo home run and a game-winning bases-loaded walk while adding another base on balls and another run in an extra-inning victory over the Phillies on Saturday.

EDGE Analysis

Haniger was responsible for the Mariners' first and final runs of the night, accomplishing the former with his 11th home run of the season in the fifth to start a comeback from a 5-0 deficit. It was Haniger's second straight game leaving the yard after having homered just once in the previous 13 contests, and it also extended his on-base streak to eight consecutive starts. Haniger's plate discipline also paid off in the 10th when he pushed the game-winning run across with his second walk of the night, and he's looked much more like his typically reliable self of late by forging a .286 average and 1.087 OPS across the 36 plate appearances covering his last nine games.

Haniger went 2-for-4 with a solo home run and an additional run scored in Friday's 10-2 win over the Phillies.

EDGE Analysis

Haniger produced his first multi-hit effort since June 14. He singled in the second inning and scored on a Luke Raley homer before going yard himself in the seventh inning for Seattle's last run of the game. Aside from the first few weeks of the season, Haniger has not been very consistent at the plate. He has a .209/.293/.347 slash line with 10 homers, 36 RBI, 34 runs scored and 11 doubles over 93 contests this season. He's still getting a decent share of playing time between right field and designated hitter, but Haniger's role could be reduced once Dominic Canzone (thigh) or Julio Rodriguez (ankle) return from their respective injuries.

Haniger is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Red Sox.

EDGE Analysis

Haniger will hit the bench for the afternoon contest after he had started in each of Seattle's last six games while going 4-for-20 with a solo home run and five walks. The Mariners will likely continue to open up a lineup spot for Haniger against left-handed pitching, but his starting opportunities versus righties may be more sporadic, especially once Julio Rodriguez (ankle) and Dominic Canzone (adductor) return from the injured list.

Haniger will serve as the Mariners' designated hitter and No. 8 batter in Monday's game against the Red Sox.

EDGE Analysis

Haniger will nab his fifth straight start Monday after producing two extra-base hits and drawing five walks over the past four contests. His recent success at the plate could be enough for Haniger to remain a regular in the lineup for the time being, but he'll be at risk of moving into a part-time role as soon as his bat cools down.
