Haniger went 2-for-5 with a double and a run in a loss to the Diamondbacks on Sunday.
EDGE Analysis
Haniger continued to produce out of the leadoff spot, and he's now hit safely in eight straight games overall. While he did see a three-game home-run streak snapped, Haniger is slashing a scorching .377/.442/.681 over 77 plate appearances out of the top of the order this season, a line partly comprised of 13 extra-base hits (nine doubles, four homers), 11 RBI and 15 runs.

Haniger went 3-for-5 with a double, two RBI and two runs Monday in the Mariners' 7-6 loss to the Athletics.
EDGE Analysis
With an 11-12 record since the All-Star break, the Mariners have fallen behind the surging Athletics in the race for the second wild-card spot in the American League, but those struggles are through no fault of Haniger. After a slow finish to July, Haniger has picked up the pace during the current month, tallying multi-hit efforts in eight of his 13 starts in August. The outfielder is now batting an impressive .279 to go with 19 home runs and seven stolen bases.

Haniger went 3-for-5 with an RBI double in Sunday's 4-3 win over Houston.
EDGE Analysis
Haniger has been mashing in August, raising his average from .260 to .275 and collecting seven multi-hit games since the start of the month. His RBI double in the 10th inning proved to be the winning run for Seattle on Sunday. The 27-year-old hit leadoff in for the entire four-game series against the Astros, going 9-for-17 with five extra-base hits in that span.

Haniger went 2-for-4 with an RBI double, another two-bagger and a run in a win over the Astros on Friday.
EDGE Analysis
Haniger continues to knock the cover off the ball in August, with Friday's pair of two-baggers serving as his sixth and seventh extra-base hits of the last seven games. The 27-year-old outfielder looks like a new man at the plate in August following a dreadful 13-for-68 showing in July, as he now boasts a 1.044 OPS over his first 43 plate appearances of the current month.

Haniger went 4-for-5 with an RBI single, two doubles, a solo home run and two runs overall in a win over the Astros on Thursday.
EDGE Analysis
Haniger got the Mariners' surprise first-inning ambush of Justin Verlander with a 405-foot solo shot to lead off the game, only his second homer in 32 games. He continued knocking the cover off the ball throughout the night, adding the pair of two-baggers and driving in his second run with a sixth-inning single. Manager Scott Servais' decision to move Haniger into the leadoff spot for the night was clearly a rousing success, so it remains to be seen if the slugging outfielder -- who's now hitting .389 (14-for-36) and boasts a .410 on-base percentage over his first nine games of August -- will continue to be deployed at the top of the order for the time being.

Haniger went 2-for-3 with a pair of RBI singles and a walk in a loss to the Rangers on Wednesday.
EDGE Analysis
Haniger continues to claw his way of the offensive malaise that engulfed his month of July, as he's now gone 10-for-31 with two doubles, three RBI, two walks and three runs over the first eight games of August. The outfielder remains in a power drought that's now stretched to 30 games, but the fact he's putting good wood on the ball again hints at a possible home-run resurgence in the near future.

Haniger went 2-for-6 with a run in an extra-innings win over the Rangers on Monday.
EDGE Analysis
Haniger crossed the plate in the top of the 12th with what would ultimately proved to be the winning run, capping another encouraging offensive performance for the previously struggling outfielder. The 27-year-old has compiled a trio of two-hit efforts over the first six games of August, leading to a .320 average over that span. That surge is slowly inching his season figure back up after it took a 15-point tumble in July, and despite his recent downturn, his .356 on-base percentage remains tops on the Mariners.

Haniger went 2-for-4 with two runs in a loss to the Blue Jays on Friday.
EDGE Analysis
Haniger was the only Mariner to cross the plate in the loss, and his pair of singles extended his modest hitting streak to four games. The outfielder endured a forgettable July overall (.191 average, one home run), with the round tripper the only one he's managed since June 29, a span of 25 games. His early August returns are encouraging, however, as he's now 5-for-11 with a walk and Friday's runs over the first three games of the month.

Haniger went 1-for-2 with two walks and a run in a win over the Angels on Sunday.
EDGE Analysis
Haniger was relatively quiet in the Mariners' eight-run outburst, but he still enjoyed a productive day offensively by getting on base thrice. The outfielder has actually been stuck in a relative funk throughout July, as he's hitting just .197 with three extra-base hits (two doubles, one home run) and a modest six RBI during the month. However, Haniger's patience at the plate has helped him continue reaching base at a solid clip, with his 12 walks leading to an impressive .372 on-base percentage over that span.
