Manager Gabe Kapler said that he's hopeful Haniger (forearm) will return from the 60-day injured list during the Giants' series with the the Reds that begins Monday, John Shea of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.
EDGE Analysis
Haniger is scheduled to appear in another rehab game Sunday for Triple-A Sacramento in what could be his final tuneup before he returns from the IL. Though Haniger has gone just 1-for-15 with a walk and a run scored through his first four rehab games, he's struck out in just two of those at-bats and has been able to play some innings in left field in addition to serving as a designated hitter. Haniger has been on the IL since June 14 with a fractured right forearm that eventually required surgery.

Haniger (forearm) will begin a rehab assignment Tuesday with Triple-A Sacramento, Maria I. Guardado of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Haniger will likely require several games with Sacramento to get his timing back on the plate, given that he's been sidelined since mid-June after requiring a surgery to address a fractured right forearm. He was cleared to resume baseball activities in late July and began taking batting practice more than a week and a half ago, suffering no setbacks along the way. Once he completes his rehab stint at Sacramento and returns from the 60-day injured list, Haniger should reclaim a near-everyday role in the San Francisco lineup at a corner-outfield spot or designated hitter.

Haniger (forearm) is ramping up all activity and could embark on a rehab assignment in a week, Susan Slusser of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.
EDGE Analysis
Haniger was initially cleared for activity in late July and began taking swings in the batting cage Saturday. If Haniger is able to begin a rehab assignment within the next week, his chance of returning before the end of the month would improve significantly. Otherwise, an early-September return appears more likely. The 32-year-old outfielder has been on the IL since June 13 after requiring surgery to repair a fracture in his right forearm.

Haniger (forearm) will take swings in the batting cage Saturday, Alex Pavlovic of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.
EDGE Analysis
Haniger is ramping things back up following surgery in June to repair a fracture in his right forearm. He is eligible for activation Sunday, but it figures to at least be closer to the end of August before he's ready to return.

X-rays showed Haniger's forearm has properly healed, and he was cleared to resume baseball activity Wednesday, Susan Slusser of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.
EDGE Analysis
Haniger underwent surgery in June after suffering a fracture in his right forearm, and he can now begin his rehab process. There is no immediate timetable for Haniger's return, but he will almost certainly be sidelined past his eligible return date of August 13. The 32-year-old outfielder was slashing .230/.281/.372 through 160 plate appearances before getting hurt.

Haniger (forearm) was transferred to the 60-day injured list Thursday, Maria I. Guardado of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Haniger has been ruled out until late August after fracturing his right forearm, so this move was strictly procedural. Dalton Guthrie was added to the 40-man roster in Haniger's place.

Haniger underwent successful surgery on his fractured right forearm this week, and he's expected to miss 10 weeks while recovering, Andrew Baggarly of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Haniger's break was the ulna and not the radius, which helps explain the quicker projected return than anticipated, Susan Slusser of the San Francisco Chronicle reports. As Baggarly notes, that puts Haniger back with San Francisco right around the end of August. The outfielder suffered the injury after being hit squarely in the forearm versus the Cardinals over the weekend. Assuming a clean recovery, Haniger could help San Francisco and fantasy rosters over the final month of the 2023 campaign.

Haniger will undergo surgery Thursday to repair a fractured right forearm, Maria I. Guardado of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
The Giants are expected to provide an updated timeline for Haniger's return Friday, but the upcoming surgery is something that will likely cause him to miss most -- if not all -- of what's left of the 2023 season. The veteran outfielder suffered the injury when he was struck by a Jack Flaherty pitch during Tuesday's win over the Cardinals.

Haniger (forearm) was placed on the 10-day injured list Wednesday.
EDGE Analysis
Haniger was hit by a pitch and suffered a fractured right forearm in Tuesday's win over the Cardinals. According to Maria I. Guardado of MLB.com, manager Gabe Kapler said that Haniger will receive a second opinion on his injury before the Giants decide whether the outfielder will require surgery to address it. Even if surgery isn't deemed necessary, Haniger still seems likely to miss well beyond the minimum 10 days, and he could even be a candidate to shift to the 60-day IL when the Giants need to open up a spot on the 40-man roster. The Giants called up top outfield prospect Luis Matos from Triple-A Sacramento, and he or Rule 5 draft pick Blake Sabol would seem to be the top candidates to replace Haniger as a regular in the lineup.

Haniger left Tuesday's game versus the Cardinals with a fractured right forearm, Maria I. Guardado of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
The fracture occurred after Haniger was plunked in the forearm by an offering from Jack Flaherty. Luis Matos is expected to replace Haniger on the roster with the outfielder assuredly heading to the injured list prior to to Wednesday's game against St. Louis. How long Haniger will be out will likely be determined by his rehabilitation route, and more information should be provided by the Giants in the coming days.
