Haniger went 0-for-1 with three walks and two runs in a win over the White Sox on Sunday.
EDGE Analysis
Haniger showed a particularly discerning eye at the plate, leaving the power display to Ryon Healy on the afternoon. The 27-year-old's on-base percentage is up to an impressive .411 in July, despite the fact that he's hitting just .233 during the month. Haniger also continues leading the Mariners in RBI (67) and OBP (.365), with both figures also serving as career bests for the outfielder.

Haniger went 2-for-4 with an RBI single and a stolen base in a loss to the Rockies on Sunday.
EDGE Analysis
Haniger opened the scoring with a first-inning single that brought home Dee Gordon, his team-leading 67th RBI of the season. The 27-year-old is proving his solid 2017 debut campaign in Seattle was no fluke, as he heads into the All-Star break with a .272/.358/.488 line that's partly comprised a career-high 18 home runs.

Haniger went 2-for-4 with a three-run home run and a double in Tuesday's loss to the Angels.
EDGE Analysis
Haniger deposited the three-run shot, his 18th of the year, early in the first inning but that would be all the offense Seattle would get in the 9-3 loss. To go along with a .274/.359/.502 line, he's now driven in a career-high 65 runs, good for second in the American League behind only J.D. Martinez's 77.

Manager Scott Servais said he hopes Haniger (knee) can return to the lineup Saturday or Sunday, Ryan Divish of The Seattle Times reports.
EDGE Analysis
He is reportedly feeling much better and was able to test his bruised knee and do some running in the outfield before Friday's game. Haniger said he plans to return Saturday and hopes to be able to pinch hit in Friday's game, but the Mariners may play it safe and hold him out until Sunday.

Haniger will miss a couple days with a bruised right knee, Greg Johns of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Hainger was a late scratch from Thursday's game and did not appear off the bench, though the injury doesn't appear to be a serious one and he's not currently expected to head to the disabled list. The Mariners have an off day Monday, so Haniger could sit the entirety of the weekend series against the Rockies and get an extra day of rest, though it appears possible that he could return before then. Ben Gamel could be in line for some starts while Haniger remains out.

Haniger went 3-for-6 with a run in an extra-innings win over the Orioles on Wednesday.
EDGE Analysis
There'd been rumblings about Haniger receiving a day off at some point during the current four-game set against the Orioles, but he's actually thrived against Baltimore pitching. Factoring in Wednesday's three-hit night -- his fourth multi-hit effort over the last six games -- Haniger has gone 6-for-13 with a double, an RBI, a walk and a run over the last three games. It's been another solid month for the outfielder, who's also racked up an impressive 18 RBI with the aid of five home runs.

Haniger, who went 0-for-4 with two strikeouts in a loss to the Red Sox on Sunday, may be given a day off by manager Scott Servais during the team's upcoming series in Baltimore, Ryan Divish of The Seattle Times reports.
EDGE Analysis
The outfielder has played in 76 out of a possible 77 games this season, so a day on the bench is likely warranted. Monday may be just as good a time as any during the upcoming four-game series versus the Orioles, considering Haniger's atypically poor day at the plate Sunday. The 27-year-old has already equaled his 16 home runs from last season and is slashing a solid .263/.349/.491 over 327 plate appearances in 2018.

Haniger, who knocked in three more runs in a Saturday win over the Red Sox with a pair of doubles while also scoring once, leads the Mariners with 58 RBI and is tied for second in the majors with the Reds' Eugenio Suarez in that category.
EDGE Analysis
Haniger had added another 17 RBI to his ledger during June heading into Sunday's series finale against Boston, including 11 in his last 11 games. The 27-year-old has already blown by his 2017 total of 47, a figure it took him 87 more plate appearances than the 323 he's currently logged to achieve. Haniger has largely done it with an increase in power, as he'd already equaled last season's figure of 16 home runs by June 13 and has upped his HR/FB rate from 15.8 percent to 19.3 percent.
