Haniger went 2-for-5 with a two-run homer and two runs scored Sunday against the Angels.
EDGE Analysis
Haniger got on base with two extra-base hits, a double and his seventh home run of the season. He's been a major beneficiary of batting towards the top of the Mariners' lineup, scoring 25 runs in as many games. He'll look to keep up his strong performance as the Mariners begin a series against the Padres on Tuesday.

Haniger went 1-for-5 with a solo home run in a win over the Angels on Saturday.
EDGE Analysis
Haniger gave a hint of the long-ball barrage to come with his leadoff blast off Trevor Cahill. The solo homer marked the first time Haniger had left the yard in the last six games. While he's putting plenty of good wood on the ball when he does connect -- as evidenced by his 16 extra-base hits (nine doubles, one triple, six home runs) thus far -- Haniger is also having some trouble making consistent contact overall. Factoring in his second two-strikeout day in the last three games Saturday, the 28-year-old's whiff rate stands at a career-high 27.5 percent through his first 109 plate appearances.

Haniger (illness) went 1-for-5 with a walk, a stolen base and two runs in a win over the Angels on Thursday.
EDGE Analysis
Haniger was solid in his return from a one-game absence, and he ultimately came home with what would turn out to be the winning run on Jay Bruce's ninth-inning single. The 28-year-old outfielder has hit safely in seven of his last eight games, a stretch during which he's also produced four doubles, a triple and three of his five home runs on the season.

Haniger (illness) is starting in right field and hitting second Thursday against the Angels, Ryan Divish of The Seattle Times reports.
EDGE Analysis
As expected, Haniger is good to go for Thursday's series opener after missing Wednesday's game with an illness. The outfielder, who is slashing .281/.333/.618 with six homers through 21 games, will face righty Chris Stratton in his return to action.

EDGE Analysis
Haniger will wind up sitting for just the second time this season. Mallex Smith enters the lineup in his place, leading off and playing center field.

Haniger went 2-for-4 with a double and a solo home run in a loss to the Astros on Sunday.
EDGE Analysis
The rest of his teammates may have been constantly befuddled by Astros starter Gerrit Cole, but Haniger put solid wood on two occasions versus the otherwise dominant right-hander. Haniger appears to be heating up after an uneven start to his season, as he's gone 8-for-21 with three doubles, a triple, three home runs, six RBI and eight runs over his last five games.

Haniger went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Saturday's 3-1 loss to the Astros.
EDGE Analysis
The outfielder has rapped out an extra-base hit in four straight games, pushing his slash line on the season to .278/.325/.569. After launching a career-high 26 homers last year, Haniger already has four through 17 games in 2019.

Haniger went 2-for-4 with a double, a triple, three RBI and a run scored Thursday against the Royals.
EDGE Analysis
Haniger plated a run in the sixth inning on a sacrifice fly to right field, but his most impressive hit of the day came in the ninth when he drove in a pair to tie the ballgame on a triple to center. He's now secured a base knock in each of his previous three contests and has driven in six runs over that brief stretch.

Haniger went 1-for-4 with a walk, a solo home run and a second run scored in Wednesday's 6-5 win over the Royals.
EDGE Analysis
His third homer of the year was a big one, as he took Brad Boxberger deep in the top of the ninth inning for the winning run. Haniger is slashing .254/.318/.492 through 14 games with 10 RBI and 12 runs, and his spot near the top of the Seattle order has provided him with a strong fantasy floor even without a particularly hot start to the season.

Haniger is not in Tuesday's lineup against the Royals.
EDGE Analysis
The Mariners will give Haniger his first day off of the season. Jay Bruce starts in right field, hitting third against righty Jakob Junis.
