Haniger went 1-for-4 with a two-run homer in Friday's 2-1 win over the Twins.
EDGE Analysis
Haniger took Joe Ryan deep in the first inning and it would be the only offense Seattle needed to start the year 1-0. The 31-year-old outfielder is coming off a career year where he knocked 39 homers with 110 runs scored and an .804 OPS. Even with Seattle's core of young outfield talent, Haniger is locked into a major role in the middle of the Mariners' lineup this season.

Haniger and the Mariners agreed Sunday on a one-year, $7.75 million contract to avoid arbitration, Jeff Passan of ESPN.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Haniger said Sunday that he nearly finalized a deal with the Mariners prior to the deadline in March for arbitration-eligible players to secure contracts for 2022, only to run out of time. The two sides were ultimately able to work out an agreement without having to go to court, locking Haniger into the roster as Opening Day approaches. After missing significant time with injuries in 2019 and 2020, Haniger showed durability in 2021, appearing in 157 games while slashing .253/.318/.485 and establishing new career highs in home runs (39), runs (110) and RBI (100).

Haniger is hitting .083 (1-for-12) with a double, a walk, two RBI and a run across his first five Cactus League games.
EDGE Analysis
The 31-year-old broke the 0-for-9 drought he'd been mired in over his first four Cactus League games Friday, when he recorded a two-run double over his three plate appearances. Despite the slow start, Haniger is reportedly at full health and had looked impressive in pre-exhibition workouts, and he projects to see regular playing time between right field and potentially designated hitter to open the season.

Haniger, who worked out at the MLBPA facility in Mesa, Arizona during the lockout, impressed in his first opportunity to take batting practice at the Mariners' spring training facility, Daniel Kramer of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Kramer posted a video of Haniger uncorking a couple of long balls on Friday afternoon and noted the veteran outfielder was launching "homer after homer" during the session while also looking noticeably stronger. Haniger is coming off having compiled a career-high 39 home runs and 100 RBI in what was a remarkable comeback 2021 campaign, one that came in the wake of a year and a half away from game action due to injuries.

Haniger went 2-for-3 with two doubles, a walk and a run in a win over the Athletics on Monday.
EDGE Analysis
A day after launching his 34th home run, Haniger continued to put a recent three-game funk in the rear-view mirror by once again putting good wood on the ball Monday.
