Haniger has been cleared by a hand specialist, Greg Johns of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis

Haniger (hand) said his hand feels 100 percent and could return to game action next week, Shannon Drayer of 710 ESPN Seattle reports.
EDGE Analysis
Haniger is also beginning to increase his activity in the batting cages, something that he was unable to do earlier in the week. It seems like he's getting very close to a full return, but Drayer adds that the Mariners are playing things very safely with him. A more concrete return date should come forth soon, but the tentative plan is for Haniger to get back into Cactus League action either Tuesday, Wednesday or Thursday next week.

Haniger (hand) will see a hand specialist in the next couple days to see if he's been cleared to resume hitting, Shannon Drayer of MyNorthwest.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Haniger has been able to participate in every other activity besides hitting after going down with a sore right hand this past weekend. The club is hopeful that he will see the specialist before Friday, which would allow him to receive some game action in the Cactus League. Expect to see the outfielder back on the field in the near future barring any setbacks.

Haniger's sore hand is doing well, Greg Johns of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
The outfielder suffered a minor hand injury in batting practice Saturday. He has been a full participant in practice in every area other than hitting since then. He is expected to be back playing games within the next day or two, so the issue should have little effect on his fantasy value for the upcoming season.

EDGE Analysis
Haniger sustained the injury while taking batting practice. Manager Scott Servais did admit that he's being overly cautious with Haniger after the previous hand injury to Ryon Healy -- who will miss a few weeks -- and that Haniger should be good to go by next week.

Haniger went 2-for-4 with a solo homer, a walk and two runs Saturday against the Astros.
EDGE Analysis
Haniger crushed his 13th bomb of the campaign to pull the Mariners within two runs in the ninth inning of a losing effort. After going hitless in the last two games, he returned to form as he's having an absolutely stellar month of September, and he's been a major fantasy asset during most crucial time of the season.
