Haniger (knee) is not in the starting lineup Tuesday against the Twins.
EDGE Analysis
Haniger suffered a deep bone bruise when he fouled a ball off his knee in Sunday's game against Cleveland. He did not play Monday and is now absent from the starting lineup again Tuesday. Manager Scott Servais previously said he did not anticipate that the injury would force the outfielder to the injured list, so until the skipper says otherwise, Haniger can continue to be considered day-to-day.

The Mariners announced that Haniger's removal in the first inning of Sunday's game against Cleveland was due to a bruised left knee, Shannon Drayer of 710 ESPN Seattle reports.
EDGE Analysis
The early diagnosis of a left knee contusion is encouraging for Haniger after he looked to be in serious pain and remained on the ground for several moments after fouling a ball of the knee in his first-inning at-bat, according to Daniel Kramer of MLB.com. Haniger didn't look to be putting any weight on his left leg while he exited the field, but he may have just been exercising some caution. The 30-year-old will likely be re-evaluated prior to Monday's series opener, but for now, he can be viewed as day-to-day heading into that contest.

Haniger went 2-for-4 with two solo home runs Thursday against the Tigers.
EDGE Analysis
Haniger homered in two of his first three at-bats in the game, bringing his season total to 16. It was his first home run since May 29, and he was hitting just .195/.214/.244 across his last nine games entering Thursday's contest. That poor stretch has hardly ruined Haniger's strong season however, as he owns a 130 wRC+ to go along with 43 runs scored and 40 RBI in 265 plate appearances.

Haniger went 2-for-5 with an RBI double, an additional two-bagger and a run in a loss to the Athletics on Tuesday.
EDGE Analysis
The veteran outfielder's multi-game heater at the plate continued in fine form Tuesday, with Haniger reaching safely for the 10th time in the last 11 games. That stretch has seen the 30-year-old frequently get excellent wood on the ball -- he has six doubles and two home runs among his 13 hits along with a 39.4 percent hard-contact rate on his way to a .295/.340/.568 slash (47 plate appearances).

Haniger is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Athletics.
EDGE Analysis
Haniger will sit for only the third time all season and for the first time since April 29 in what amounts to a well-deserved maintenance day. The newly activated Jake Fraley will replace Haniger in right field, while Jacob Nottingham serves as the Mariners' designated hitter.
