Mitch Haniger News
Seattle Mariners outfielder Mitch Haniger (ankle) spoke to reporters about his Grade 2 ankle sprain on Tuesday. He gave some context for his timeline, saying "As far as getting back in games, I think like a rough estimate would be from date of injury is 10 to 12 weeks, but at the same time, I've heard it can go on the earlier end and I've also heard on the longer end." The injury first occurred on April 29. So if he indeed winds up missing a total of 10-to-12 weeks, he won't be back until the middle of July or late July. Fellow outfielder Kyle Lewis (knee) is trending toward making his 2022 debut with the team soon and he'll benefit from Haniger's absence as he'll slot in as one of the team's primary outfield/designated hitter options alongside Jarred Kelenic, Julio Rodriguez and Jesse Winker.
Seattle Mariners outfielder Mitch Haniger (ankle) is dealing with a Grade 2 high-ankle sprain, per manager Scott Servais. He was placed on the 10-day injured list Saturday. The 31-year-old initially sustained a high-ankle sprain during Friday's loss to the Miami Marlins. Haniger is facing an extended absence, but the official timeline for his recovery has yet to be announced. Dylan Moore should see an uptick in at-bats while Haniger is sidelined and is a speculative add in deep-league formats. Moore popped 12 homers and swiped 21 bags but slashed an abysmal .181/.276/.334 over 377 plate appearances in 2021. The 29-year-old has dual eligibility and qualifies at third base and outfield in most league formats. Moore is hitting .273 with a homer and two RBI over nine games in 2022.

After being recently activated from the COVID-19 IL on Friday, the 31-year-old is set to miss weeks. Haniger was off to a slow start, slashing .200/.222/.486 with three home runs and seven RBI over nine games in 2022.

Haniger smashed his draft cost in 2021 on the back of 39 homers, 110 runs scored, and 100 RBI. That statistical line is quite hard to come by, and I'm sure nobody expected it from Haniger in 2021 even after it became clear he was finally healthy. The problem is that the power production there really is not backed up by the underlying metrics. Haniger's barrel rate was good (12.6%), but not elite (only three other hitters cleared 35 homers with a sub-13% Brl%), and his exit velocity numbers leave a lot to be desired as well (his max velocity of 110 was one point below the league average). His .253 batting average also brought down your fantasy team's mark, and there is not a ton of room for that to grow given his profile (slow footed, 25-27% K%, low career line drive rate). What we seem to have here is a guy who over-performed in 2021, and does not have a ton of upside in steals or batting average. That leaves us with a somewhat lackluster fantasy asset that is being drafted a bit too early right with an ADP of 105.
