Haniger went 3-for-5 with two RBI from a single and a triple while also drawing a walk and scoring once in a win over the Rangers on Tuesday.
EDGE Analysis
Haniger was a constant offensive presence throughout the night, and he got his stellar performance started early. His first-inning three-bagger plated Jean Segura to give the Mariners an early 1-0 lead, while his eighth-inning single snapped a 7-7 tie. Haniger now has as trio of multi-hit efforts over the last six games, and following Tuesday's production, he's compiled an impressive 20 extra-base hits (eight doubles, two triples, 10 home runs) over his first 175 plate appearances.

Haniger went 1-for-1 with an RBI ground-rule double, a stolen base and three walks in a loss to the Blue Jays on Wednesday.
EDGE Analysis
Haniger was a constant thorn in the side of Blue Jays pitching throughout the night, flashing his pop, plate discipline and even some base-running prowess. The 27-year-old outfielder has hit safely in six of eight May games, and he's making hard contact at a career-high 42.4 percent over his first 145 plate appearances. The exit velocity of 95 mph or more on 52.9 percent of his batted balls that Haniger was sporting coming into the series against the Blue Jays is a 35 percent jump over last season per Statcast, Greg Johns of MLB.com reports. Haniger's launch angle (18.8) is also up 10.6 degrees over last season, which has helped lead to a career-best 22.2 percent HR/FB rate.

Haniger went 3-for-5 with a triple, a solo home run and three runs in a win over the Indians on Sunday.
EDGE Analysis
Haniger slugged a 398-foot shot to left to close out the scoring on the day for the hot-hitting Mariners, his sixth homer in the last 10 games. He also roped his first three-bagger of the season on his way to his seventh multi-hit effort of April. Factoring in Sunday's production, Haniger has racked up a whopping 26 RBI during the month, and his 10 round trippers have him tied for the major-league lead.

Haniger went 2-for-3 with a two-run homer, two runs scored and a walk in Friday's loss to Cleveland.
EDGE Analysis
Haniger hit a two-run homer off Corey Kluber in the seventh, and later knocked a double off Cody Allen in the ninth. The outfielder now holds a slash line of .307/.382/.682, with 15 extra-base hits. Haniger's 26 RBI lead all major-league outfielders, while his nine homers trail only Mike Trout at the position. The 27-year-old had a solid season with Seattle last year, hitting .282 with 16 home runs and 47 RBI in 96 games, and he's certainly capitalizing on the expanded playing time this year.

Haniger went 3-for-5 with a home run and three RBI in Sunday's loss to the Rangers.
EDGE Analysis
Haniger also singled and doubled, finishing just a triple shy of the cycle. The 27-year-old had himself a terrific series against Texas, going 7-for-12 with three homers, three doubles and seven RBI over the weekend set. It's been a scorching start through 20 games, as Haniger already has 22 RBI -- good for second most in the AL -- to go along with a .314/.390/.525 slash line.

Haniger went 1-for-3 with a home run and two RBI in Saturday's 9-7 win over the Rangers.
EDGE Analysis
The long ball was his sixth of the season and second in as many games, and Haniger now sports a robust .292/.377/.600 slash line through 19 games with 19 RBI and nine runs. When he's healthy, the 27-year-old has proven to be a potent fantasy asset, but it's his inability to stay off the disabled list that's prevented him from blossoming into a star to this point in his career.

Haniger went 3-for-4 with a walk, a double, a home run and two RBI in Friday's 6-2 win over the Rangers.
EDGE Analysis
His solo shot in the top of the eighth inning tied the score at 2-2, giving Haniger five homers through 18 games. He also now sports a strong .290/.384/.565 slash line with 17 RBI, but Nelson Cruz's return to action has pushed Haniger down to sixth in the order, making it difficult for him to maintain his current run-production pace even if he does stay healthy and locked in at the plate.

Haniger went 2-for-5 with a home run, double, three RBI and one run scored Saturday against the Athletics.
EDGE Analysis
Haniger was bumped down to sixth in the order Saturday after Nelson Cruz returned from injury. That didn't seem to bother him however, as he hit a home in his second consecutive game and now has seven RBI in this two game stretch. While there was no impact from his shift down in the lineup Saturday, expect his counting stats to slow a bit as a result.

Haniger went 2-for-4 with a home run and four RBI in Friday's 7-4 win over the A's.
EDGE Analysis
His three-run blast off Chris Hatcher in the seventh inning put the M's in the lead for good. Haniger has enjoyed an excellent start to the season, slashing .297/.426/.568 through 11 games with three homers and 12 RBI, but with Nelson Cruz (ankle) about to come off the disabled list, Haniger will get bumped out of the cleanup spot and potentially lose a few run-producing opportunities.
