Haniger went 1-for-3 with a solo home run in Sunday's 5-3 loss against the Athletics.
EDGE Analysis
Haniger took JP Sears deep to left in the third inning for his 12th long ball of the season. He has hit safely in 14 of 15 games since being reinstated from the IL on Aug. 6, batting .327 in that stretch. However, he had only hit two extra base hits in the same timeframe, so Sunday's home run could be a sign that Haniger has finally found his power stroke.

Haniger went 2-for-5 with an RBI single and two runs in a win over the Angels on Wednesday.
EDGE Analysis
Haniger's continues to wield a hot bat following his extensive stay on the injured list, as he's now hit safely in 10 of the first 11 games since his return. The veteran outfielder has a trio of multi-hit efforts over that span, and along with a .357 average, he's mustered a .438 on-base percentage within the sample partly due to a 12.5 percent walk rate.

Haniger went 3-for-5 with a run in a win over the Rangers on Friday.
EDGE Analysis
The hot-hitting outfielder produced his second three-hit effort of the last four games in the win while also extending a hitting streak, the origins of which predate his extended IL stay due to an ankle injury. Haniger has hit safely in nine consecutive games overall, and he pushed his season slash line to an excellent .298/.344/.544 with Friday's fruitful night.

Haniger went 3-for-4 with a solo home run and two runs scored in Monday's 9-4 loss to the Yankees.
EDGE Analysis
Haniger belted a solo shot in the first inning and scored another run in the third on a bases-loaded walk. The veteran outfielder isn't showing any signs of rust after his lengthy absence due to an ankle injury. In three games since returning to the lineup, he's gone 5-for-10 with two extra-base hits and three runs scored. Through 12 games this season, Haniger is slashing .267/.313/.578 with eight RBI and six extra-base hits.

Haniger (ankle) went 1-for-3 with a double and a walk during a loss to the Angels in the nightcap of a doubleheader against the Angels on Saturday.
EDGE Analysis
Making his return after more than three months on the shelf, Haniger had a productive night. The veteran outfielder logged 43 plate appearances across 11 rehab games and mustered an impressive .267/.488/.567 slash line in the process, so it would appear his timing with the bat should be in solid shape despite the extended layoff.

Haniger (ankle) will be activated off the injured list ahead of the second game of Saturday's doubleheader against the Angels, Ryan Divish of The Seattle Times reports.
EDGE Analysis
Haniger won't be active for the afternoon game but is considered ready to go after posting a 1.055 OPS in 11 rehab appearances. He played just nine games prior to spraining his ankle, so he might be eased back into action initially, but he should fill an important role for the Mariners down the stretch.

Mariners general manager Jerry Dipoto said Thursday that Haniger (ankle) should return from the 60-day injured list within the next week, Maura Dooley of Seattle Sports 710 AM reports.
EDGE Analysis
Dipoto didn't seem to close the door on Haniger being activated for Friday's series opener with the Angels, but the Mariners plan to leave it up to the 31-year-old to tell them when he feels ready to return. Haniger hasn't suffered any setbacks with his right ankle during his ongoing 10-game minor-league rehab assignment that has included stops at High-A Everett and Triple-A Tacoma. Though he's hit .250 in those contests, Haniger has smacked three home runs and has walked more often (seven times) than he's struck out (five times).

Haniger (ankle) is 1-for-7 with a home run, three walks and three RBI over his last two rehab games with Triple-A Tacoma.
EDGE Analysis
The rehabbing outfielder notably played right field in both games, the first time he's done so in back-to-back minor-league contests. Haniger appears set to be activated from his extended injured list stint Friday as previously reported, barring any unforeseen setbacks in what should be his final couple of games with the Rainiers.

Haniger (ankle) played six innings in right field during Triple-A Tacoma's win over El Paso on Sunday, going 1-for-3 with a three-run home run and two walks.
EDGE Analysis
Haniger skewered Triple-A arms for a second time in the last three games and got in another round of solid work on defense before being lifted for a pinch runner following a walk in his final plate appearance. The veteran outfielder is looking good both at the plate and in the field, seemingly leaving him on track to be activated Friday as previously reported.
