Mitch Haniger News
Seattle Mariners outfielder Mitch Haniger (back) is expected to start Sunday against the Angels. He is available to pinch hit in Saturday's contest. The 31-year-old hasn't played since exiting last Sunday's game against the Braves early with lower back tightness. He is improving and is set to return to the lineup Sunday. Haniger is slashing .233/.288/.399 with seven home runs, 23 RBI, and 19 runs across 177 plate appearances in 41 games in 2022. Fantasy managers should check on Sunday to ensure Haniger is starting before inserting him into their lineups.
Seattle Mariners outfielder Mitch Haniger (back) won't play in Saturday's game against the Los Angeles Angels. It has been almost a week since Haniger last played. The organization mentioned that Haniger is improving, but they want to remain cautious. Luckily, Haniger is only dealing with back tightness, so this shouldn't be something that lands him on the injured list. The expectation is that Haniger will only miss another game or two. Sam Haggerty will cover right field and bat eighth against right-hander Shohei Ohtani.
Seattle Mariners outfielder Mitch Haniger (back) remains out of the starting lineup on Friday against the Los Angeles Angels. Haniger showed optimism about being ready to return for the start of their weekend series, but clearly he isn't quite ready yet. He is likely to return at some point this weekend barring a setback. Haniger has not played since last Sunday after suffering a back injury. The 31-year-old slugger was in a major funk in September, slashing .179/.250/.256 with no homers in 10 games. When he returns he could be of some use in medium/deep leagues, but he is certainly not a must start at this point.

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.
