Haniger went 1-for-4 with a walk and a two-run home run in Wednesday's 9-7 extra-inning win over the Blue Jays.
EDGE Analysis
His fifth-inning blast off Trent Thornton broke a 4-4 tie, foreshadowing Dylan Moore's game-winning three-run shot in the 10th. Haniger has hit safely in five straight games, going 9-for-22 with two homers and salvaging a June that has seen him slash .253/.282/.404 with four of his 18 home runs on the season and a shaky 3:27 BB:K through 103 plate appearances.

Haniger, who went 2-for-4 with a run in a loss to the Blue Jays on Tuesday, has four straight two-hit games and is hitting .444 (8-for-18) with a double, a home run and four RBI during that stretch.
EDGE Analysis
The veteran outfielder has quickly boosted his season average 12 points to .258 with his surge, which comes on the heels of a brief 0-for-12, three-game stretch. Haniger has largely reestablished himself as a reliable offensive force after losing a season and a half due to injury, and he's managed to cut his strikeout rate to 24.3 percent after generating a career-high 28.6 percent figure over 63 games in 2019.

Haniger went 2-for-4 with a home run, a double, three RBI and two runs scored in a loss to the White Sox in Game 2 of Sunday's doubleheader.
EDGE Analysis
Haniger crushed a three-run homer in the seventh inning to cut the deficit to 7-5, but Seattle failed to finish the comeback. The 30-year-old outfielder has tallied three straight multi-hit games after going 6-for-36 (.167) over his previous 10 games. He raised his OPS to .790 with 34 extra-base hits and 45 RBI through 314 plate appearances this season.

Haniger went 2-for-6 with an RBI single and a run in a win over the White Sox on Friday.
EDGE Analysis
The veteran outfielder had gone 0-for-12 with five strikeouts over his previous three games, so Saturday's multi-hit tally, his first since June 10, was certainly a welcome reprieve. Haniger needs several more similar efforts to get himself back in gear, as even when factoring in Friday's production, he still sports a .190/.227/.190 slash line and 31.8 percent strikeout rate over his last 11 games.

Haniger is 2-for-8 with two runs in the two games since his return from a two-game absence due to a knee injury.
EDGE Analysis
The veteran outfielder sustained a deep bone bruise in his knee on a foul ball Sunday, but he ultimately missed a minimal amount of time. With Haniger playing all nine innings in right field and coming around to score twice in the first two games since his return, he seemingly appears to be very close to or back at full health.

Haniger (knee) will bat third as the designated hitter Wednesday versus the Twins, Shannon Drayer of 710 ESPN Seattle reports.
EDGE Analysis
Haniger sat out the past two games after exiting Sunday's contest with a bruised left knee, but he'll rejoin the lineup for Wednesday's series finale. The 30-year-old has a .250/.294/.417 slash line with two home runs through 12 games in June, and he'll attempt to get back on track now that he's healthy.
