Haniger went 1-for-5 with a two-run homer in a loss to the White Sox on Friday.

EDGE Analysis

Haniger slugged the second of two sixth-inning homers for the Mariners, with his 410-foot shot giving Seattle an 8-6 lead at the time. The 28-year-old outfielder's hitting streak is now up to seven games, but Friday's round tripper was his first since the second game of the season against the Athletics in Japan on March 21.

Haniger went 1-for-3 with a run and a stolen base in a win over the Angels on Monday.

EDGE Analysis

Haniger extended his hitting streak to six games with his single, while the stolen base was his first of the season. The outfielder has the ability to complement his impressive power numbers with the occasional swipe, as he went 8-for-10 in that department in 2018. Factoring in Monday's production, Haniger is hitting an even .300 over his first 36 plate appearances of the season.

Haniger went 2-for-5 with a two-run double in a win over the Red Sox on Sunday.

EDGE Analysis

Haniger joined the Mariners' offensive barrage with what was already his third multi-hit effort of the young season. The 28-year-old outfielder has encouragingly been squaring up on the ball thus far, as half of his eight hits (three doubles, one home run) have gone for extra bases.

Haniger went 2-for-4 with a double and two runs in a win over the Red Sox on Thursday.

EDGE Analysis

Operating out of the leadoff spot, Haniger had a busy, albeit less spectacular, day than some of his teammates in the surprising 12-4 rout. Haniger operated out of the leadoff spot and was actually thrown out trying to score in the second on Domingo Santana's double, but he came home on both a bases-loaded walk in the sixth and Santana's second homer in the seventh to close out the scoring for the Mariners. Three of Haniger's first four hits of the season have notably gone for extra bases, as he also smacked a two-bagger and a solo home run in the final game of the season-opening series versus the Athletics in Japan last Thursday.

Haniger is starting in right field and hitting leadoff Thursday against the Red Sox, Ryan Divish of The Seattle Times reports.

EDGE Analysis

Manager Scott Servais is looking to stack righty bats near the top of the lineup against southpaw Chris Sale, so Haniger will assume leadoff duties for Thursday's home opener. The 28-year-old is 2-for-8 with a homer and two RBI through two games this season.

Haniger went 2-for-4 with a double, a solo home run and a walk in an extra-innings win over the Athletics in Tokyo, Japan on Thursday.

EDGE Analysis

Haniger launched a 397-foot solo shot to left in the third off Marco Estrada for his first homer of the season. The 28-year-old had gone hitless in the opener on Wednesday, but he knocked the cover off the ball in signature fashion on both occasions in which he hit safely Thursday. Haniger operated out of the No. 2 hole in the order for the season-opening two-game series, and the outfielder could potentially move around to different spots near or at the top of the lineup as the season unfolds.

Haniger hit a two-run home run in a 6-4 exhibition victory over the Yomiuri Giants in Tokyo, Japan on Saturday night, Greg Johns of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

The talented outfielder endured lower back soreness earlier in the spring, and he was hitting just .182 across 22 at-bats in Cactus League play prior to the overseas trip. However, Haniger has flashed plenty of pop when he has hit safely, as his four hits consist of two doubles and two homers, not including Saturday's round tripper.

Haniger (back) played in Thursday's intrasquad game and got a single off Justus Sheffield, Shannon Drayer of 710 ESPN Seattle reports.

EDGE Analysis

He was not in the lineup for the official Cactus League game Thursday, but the fact that he played in the B game is a good sign. Assuming his back feels OK when he wakes up Friday, we could see him in the lineup against the Cubs.

Haniger (back) isn't included in the lineup for Thursday's Cactus League game against the Reds.

EDGE Analysis

Haniger expressed confidence that he would be fully recovered from his back injury and ready to rejoin the lineup this week, but any potential return looks like it won't come until at least Friday. The fact that Haniger has at least been able to take batting practice in recent days suggests his injury isn't a major concern.

Haniger said he was scratched from the lineup for Tuesday's Cactus League game against the Padres after tweaking his back while doing dead lifts two days earlier, Ryan Divish of The Seattle Times reports.

EDGE Analysis

The Mariners' off-day Monday didn't provide sufficient time for Haniger to recover from the injury and rejoin the lineup, but he doesn't anticipate the back issue holding him out for long. Haniger was still able to take batting practice and perform most pregame drills Tuesday and believes he'll be back in the lineup within the next few days.
