Haggerty will begin the 2024 season on the injured list with a personal medical issue, Ryan Divish of The Seattle Times reports.

EDGE Analysis

There is little information available besides the fact that Haggerty is dealing with a non-baseball related injury, per Divish. There is no estimate on when he'll make his 2024 debut at this time.

Haggerty (arm) slotted in at designated hitter and went 1-for-3 with a double and a run in a Cactus League loss to the Athletics on Tuesday.

EDGE Analysis

Haggerty jumped back into game action for the first time since last Wednesday after recovering from a bout of arm soreness. The veteran utility man's two-bagger was a welcome sight as he looks to shake off some doldrums at the plate prior to the start of the season -- he'd come into Tuesday's game having gone 1-for-13 in Cactus League action.

Haggerty (arm) is batting leadoff as the designated hitter in Tuesday's Cactus League game against the A's.

EDGE Analysis

Haggerty will return to game action Tuesday after missing most of the past week due to arm soreness, though he won't immediately return to playing the field. The 29-year-old had a .705 OPS in 52 games for Seattle last season and has struggled so far in spring training, going 1-for-13 through six games.

Haggerty hasn't played in a Cactus League game since Wednesday due to arm soreness, Shannon Drayer of 710 ESPN Seattle reports.

EDGE Analysis

Drayer adds that the utility asset is due to return to games "in the next day or two." Haggerty has had a rough spring at the plate thus far, hitting .077 (1-for-13) with a walk, a stolen base and three runs over six Cactus League games. However, the veteran will be counted on again to fill in at multiple infield and outfield positions during the 2024 campaign after producing a .255/.345/.382 slash line with 20 extra-base hits, 28 RBI and 23 stolen bases over 135 games for the Mariners in the last two seasons.

The Mariners and Haggerty avoided arbitration by agreeing to a one-year, $900,000 contract Thursday, Jon Morosi of MLB Network reports.

EDGE Analysis

Haggerty was arbitration-eligible for the first time this winter. The utility player slashed .253/.364/.341 with one home run and 10 stolen bases over 52 games for the Mariners in 2023. Haggerty boasts a career .844 OPS versus lefties and figures to get more starts against southpaws in 2024.

Haggerty started at designated hitter in Wednesday's loss to the Astros and went 1-for-1 with a stolen base and a walk before being pinch-hit for in the sixth inning.

EDGE Analysis

Haggerty's steal leaves him one short of a double-digit tally for the second straight season. The 29-year-old utility man has just five extra-base hits across 101 plate appearances, but he's carrying a .350 on-base percentage thanks largely to a career-best 11.9 percent walk rate. Haggerty's versatility should allow him to see at least a couple of other appearances in Seattle's final four games of the regular season.

Haggerty went 1-for-2 with a stolen base in Tuesday's 7-2 win over the Athletics.

EDGE Analysis

Haggerty's playing time remains sporadic, but he was able to make a small impact off the bench Tuesday. The steal was his first since Sept. 2 The speedy outfielder is up to a .247/.330/.321 slash line with seven steals, one home run, four RBI and 13 runs scored through 92 plate appearances this season.

Haggerty went 2-for-3 with an RBI single, a double and a run in a loss to the Rays on Sunday.

EDGE Analysis

Haggerty was one of the Mariners' most productive hitters on the afternoon despite operating out of the bottom of the order. The 29-year-old utility man was mostly abysmal at the plate with intermittent playing time over the first four-plus months, but Haggerty has hit his stride of late by posting a .368 average and 1.033 OPS across his last nine games.

Haggerty went 0-for-3 with a walk, two stolen bases and a run in a win over the Mets on Saturday.

EDGE Analysis

Haggerty's pair of sixth-inning pilfers led to a run and would prove to be key, given the final margin of victory. The utility man stole second after drawing a walk and then also took third base to put himself in position to eventually cross the plate on Mark Vientos' throwing error. Haggerty was just recalled from Triple-A Tacoma on Friday as part of roster expansion, and his extensive defensive versatility should afford him semi-regular playing time despite his offensive struggles this season.

The Mariners recalled Haggerty from Triple-A Tacoma on Friday.

EDGE Analysis

As MLB rosters expand to 28 players Friday, Haggerty will return to Seattle to give the team a bench bat capable of fielding multiple positions. His versatility may buy him a fair share of opportunities off the bench, but with a .613 OPS on the season through 62 plate appearances, it's unlikely he makes much of an impact with the Mariners.
