Haggerty (forehead) is starting Wednesday against the Yankees.
EDGE Analysis
Haggerty wasn't in the lineup over the last three games due to a cut on his foreahead, but he appeared as a pinch hitter Tuesday and went 2-for-2 with a solo homer and two runs. He'll start in right field while Kyle Lewis serves as the designated hitter.

Haggerty (forehead) went 2-for-2 with a solo home run in Tuesday's 8-6 victory over the Yankees.
EDGE Analysis
Haggerty entered Tuesday's game as a pinch hitter for Jarred Kelenic and launched a go-ahead solo shot in the seventh inning. This was his first home run since July 14. Haggerty has seen limited time this season with just 72 at-bats, but he has performed well. The outfielder has five multi-hit performances across 18 appearances since the start of July. Haggerty is slashing .306/.351/.528 on the season, with three home runs and five steals.

Haggerty (forehead) remains out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Yankees, but he should be available off the bench.
EDGE Analysis
Haggerty will take a seat for the third game in a row, but his continued absence from the lineup looks to be a managerial decision rather than the result of an injury. Though the 28-year-old exited Saturday's 5-4 win over Houston after suffering a cut on his forehead that required eight stitches, he was deployed off the bench as a pinch runner in Sunday's 3-2 loss to the Astros. Haggerty simply appears to be viewed as a bench player, even though the Mariners are at less than full strength in the outfield with all of Julio Rodriguez (wrist), Dylan Moore (back), Mitch Haniger (ankle) and Taylor Trammell (hamstring) on the injured list.

Haggerty (forehead) is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Astros but should be available off the bench, Ryan Divish of The Seattle Times reports.
EDGE Analysis
That being said, the Mariners would ideally prefer to stay from Haggerty, who exited Saturday's win due to cut on the left side of his forehead just above his eyebrow. According to Shannon Drayer of 710 ESPN Seattle, Haggerty required eight stitches to seal the wound, so he could be in some discomfort when he puts on a hat or batting helmet. Assuming Haggerty is feeling well following the day off, he could contend for an everyday role in the outfield in the short term after the Mariners placed Julio Rodriguez (wrist) and Dylan Moore (back) on the 10-day injured list Sunday due to the injuries they sustained in Saturday's win.

Haggerty left Saturday's game against Houston due to a cut on his forehead, Shannon Drayer of 710 ESPN Seattle reports.
EDGE Analysis
Haggerty was frustrated by his inability to get a bunt down in the ninth inning and spiked his helmet, which bounced back up and hit him in the face. Julio Rodriguez (wrist) and Dylan Moore (back) also left Saturday's game, which could leave the Mariners with a depleted outfield in the short term.

Haggerty is out of the lineup for Thursday's game against the Astros.
EDGE Analysis
Haggerty is on the bench for the second time in three contests, and he appears set to lose out on playing time after Kyle Lewis returned from the injured list last weekend and after Julio Rodriguez recently returned from a four-game absence. Mitch Haniger (ankle) is also in the midst of a minor-league rehab assignment and could be activated from the 60-day IL within the next few days, further blocking Haggerty's path to consistent playing time in the outfield. It's a tough break for Haggerty, who had been playing at a high level in July with an .893 OPS and three stolen bases over 17 games this month.

Haggerty went 2-for-3 with an RBI double, another two-bagger and a run in a win over the Rangers on Wednesday.
EDGE Analysis
Haggerty wreaked some havoc out of the No. 9 spot in the order, lacing his second and third extra-base hits over the last four games. The 28-year-old continues to produce more often than not with a recent stretch of playing time that's largely been the byproduct of Mitch Haniger's (ankle) IL stint, as Haggerty boasts a .351/.385/.622 slash line with Wednesday's two doubles, a triple, two home runs, six RBI, three steals and 10 runs across his last 13 games.

Haggerty went 1-for-4 with a two-run triple and a run in a loss to the Astros on Sunday.
EDGE Analysis
The speedy Haggerty's seventh-inning three-bagger off Framber Valdez plated Abraham Toro and Dylan Moore to give the Mariners their first two runs of the game. Haggerty has made good use of his steady playing time of late, hitting .389 (7-for-18) with Sunday's triple, a home run, three RBI, a walk, a stolen base and six runs over his last six games.

Haggerty went 3-for-4 with a run in a win over the Rangers on Sunday.
EDGE Analysis
Haggerty continued to make impressive contributions Sunday, this time serving as a thorn in the side of Rangers pitching out of the bottom of the order. The 28-year-old now has a trio of three-hit efforts in the last eight games, affording him a .375 average over that span despite the fact he's also gone hitless in four other starts during the sample.

Haggerty will start in right field and bat ninth in Sunday's game against the Rangers.
EDGE Analysis
The switch-hitting Haggerty will be making his fourth start in right field in five games and may end up filling the strong side of a platoon at the position with the righty-hitting Dylan Moore, who is on the bench for the second day in a row. Through 11 games in July, Haggerty is hitting .259 with two home runs, two stolen bases, six runs and three RBI.
