Mitch Haniger News
San Francisco Giants outfielder Mitch Haniger is not in the starting lineup for Game 1 of Saturday's doubleheader against the Colorado Rockies. The veteran outfielder will likely be out there for Game 2 in the afternoon but he'll be taking a seat in the opener. Haniger has struggled mightily at the dish since being activated from the 60-day IL in late August. He's slashing .146/.239/.390 with a pair of home runs in 13 games since his activation so maybe getting the game off will do him some good. Mike Yastrzemski is starting in left field while Michael Conforto is handling right and Joc Pederson serves as the Giants' DH against Rockies starter Brent Suter.
San Francisco Giants outfielder Mitch Haniger (forearm) has been activated from the 60-day injured list on Tuesday. The 32-year-old is set to make his return after being sidelined since mid-June due to a fractured forearm. Haniger played in five minor league games before making his return on Tuesday. During that time, he went 1-for-17 in those games, so fantasy managers shouldn't get too excited about his return. Before going down, Haniger slashed .230/.281/.372 with four home runs and 22 RBI in 38 games. The expectation is that he'll return to the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Cincinnati Reds.
San Francisco Giants outfielder Mitch Haniger (forearm) is slated to take batting practice in the cage on Saturday. The 32-year-old sustained a right forearm fracture on June 13 and underwent surgery a day after to repair the injury. Haniger's initial 10-week return timetable lines him up tentatively for a late-August return, but there's a chance his absence extends into early September. The oft-injured slugger also missed the campaign's initial 21 games due to an oblique strain. Haniger would return to a disappointing .230/.281/.372 triple-slash line with four home runs, nine doubles, and 22 RBI over 148 at-bats whenever he may be activated.

San Francisco Giants outfielder Mitch Haniger's 2022 season was shortened by an ankle sprain, but when he was on the field, he produced. He hit .246 with 31 runs and 34 RBI while homering 11 times across 57 games. Haniger's always shown immense power with a career 10.3% barrel rate while posting an 11.8% rate this year without hitting the ball on the ground much (37.3% ground ball rate). However, a strikeout rate that's sat at 25.8% over the past three seasons has limited the 32-year-old's batting average, and many balls in the air (career 27.2% and 7.6% fly ball and pop-up rate, respectively) means we could see his .293 BABIP from '22 regress. Haniger will almost be a non-factor in stolen bases, as he's provided just 18 over his 564 career games, so fantasy managers need him to supply about 30 HRs with more than 70 runs and RBI. However, moving from T-Mobile Park to Oracle Park will likely deflate his long balls, and the lineup in San Francisco might not be strong enough around him. It's also hard to be confident that Haniger will stay healthy next year, as he's played more than 96 games just twice from 2016-2022. He's capable of performing well enough to justify his 173 ADP. However, chances are he won't live up to it.
