Haniger went 2-for-5 with one double, one homer, three RBI and two runs scored in Saturday's 16-11 loss against the Padres.
EDGE Analysis
Haniger had his best game as a Giant, hitting his first home run. Haniger has appeared in four of the Giants' five games since his return from the 10-day injured list. The left fielder should be a good source of power, as he drilled 39 homers in his last full season.

Haniger isn't in the Giants' lineup Tuesday against the Cardinals, Maria I. Guardado of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
After going 0-for-2 with a walk and an RBI in his season debut Monday, Haniger will take a day off Tuesday. Michael Conforto will shift to right field in Haniger's absence, moving LaMonte Wade into left and giving David Villar a start at first base batting ninth.

Haniger went 0-for-2 with a walk and an RBI in Monday's 4-0 win over the Cardinals.
EDGE Analysis
Haniger got the nod in left field for his season debut after he was activated from the 10-day injured list. He should see time in the corner outfield, though with the Giants' major-league roster at nearly full health, Haniger could get some days off against right-handed pitchers at times. Staying healthy will be the focus now -- he's played more than 100 games just twice in his seven-year career, and he missed all of the 2020 campaign.

Haniger was activated from the 10-day injured list by the Giants on Monday, Susan Slusser of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.
EDGE Analysis
Haniger will play left field in his season and Giants debut after recovering from a left oblique strain. The veteran outfielder looked good in four rehab games with Triple-A Sacramento, going 4-for-13 with a couple home runs. If he can stay healthy, Haniger should be a solid power source for fantasy managers.

Giants manager Gabe Kapler said Thursday that Haniger (oblique) is getting close to returning to the team's lineup, Alex Pavlovic of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.
EDGE Analysis
Haniger most likely won't return Friday against the left-handed Joey Lucchesi as initially expected, but a return appears to be just around the corner. The 32-year-old outfielder has played in two rehab games so far, hitting 3-for-7 with a home run.

Haniger (oblique) is set to begin a rehab assignment at Triple-A Sacramento on Tuesday, Alex Pavlovic of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.
EDGE Analysis
Haniger looks like he'll advance to the final phase of his recovery program for the left oblique strain he sustained March 10. The Giants had been hopeful that Haniger would be in store for a minimum-length stay on the 10-day injured list to begin the season, but a back issue cropped back during the rehab process and pushed back his timeline for a return. Haniger will likely need multiple games in the minors to get his timing back at the plate and play a full nine innings in the field before the Giants are comfortable activating him from the IL.

Haniger (oblique) most likely won't rejoin the Giants during their upcoming road trip, Danny Emerman of KNBR 680 San Francisco reports.
EDGE Analysis
After Haniger was shut down for a week due to back issues, the plan was to activate him at some point during the Giants' road trip between April 14-19. Now, it seems that the 32-year-old outfielder will have his season debut delayed even further. The team has not announced a new target date.

Haniger (oblique) was recently shut down for about a week due to back tightness, Evan Webeck of The San Jose Mercury News reports.
EDGE Analysis
Haniger is on the injured list with an oblique strain and hit a bump in the road when the back issue cropped up. He's currently limited to hitting off a tee and is not expected to make his Giants' debut during the team's current homestand. However, manager Gabe Kapler expects Haniger to be ready for activation at some point during a road trip April 14-19, John Shea of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

Haniger (oblique) is not expected to join the Giants before the end of their upcoming homestand, which runs from Friday to next Wednesday, Evan Webeck of the San Jose Mercury News reports.
EDGE Analysis
Haniger was placed on the injured list just ahead of Opening Day after suffering a Grade 1 strain of his left oblique around the middle of spring training. There's no exact timetable at the moment, though he does figure to be ready well before the end of April.
