Mitch Haniger News
Seattle Mariners outfielder Mitch Haniger (knee) could return for the series finale against Minnesota on Wednesday. The veteran has been absent since fouling a ball off his left knee on Sunday against the Indians, but it appears as if he will avoid a trip to the 10-day injured list, which is good news. Fantasy managers should continue to monitor his status throughout the day on Wednesday in case there is a last-minute change of plans. If Haniger returns to the lineup, he should be started in fantasy lineups.
Seattle Mariners outfielder Mitch Haniger (knee) is out again on Tuesday vs. the Minnesota Twins. Haniger fouled a ball off his left knee in Sunday's win over the Indians and suffered a bone bruise. He also sat out Monday's contest but it looks like he will avoid a stint on the injured list. Jake Fraley is starting in center field on Tuesday while Jake Bauers will handle right field and Shed Long Jr. will be in left. Haniger is batting a solid .259 with 16 home runs and 40 RBI on the year.
The Associated Press' Tim Booth reported Monday in a tweet that outfielder Mitch Haniger won't play for the M's on Monday. Also per Booth's tweet: "Scott Seravis is optimistic that Haniger can avoid a stint on the injured list." That'dbe ideal for not just the Mariners but fantasy managers as well. The outfielder has been among one of the best at his position so far with 16 home runs already in 274 plate appearances. Haniger's13.7% barrel rate so far is a career-high and if his walk rate returns to anywhere what it was in his last two full seasons (10.6% in 2019 and 10.2% in 2018), the 26-year-old could truly be in for a banner year.

Seattle Mariners outfielder Mitch Haniger was on the rise in 2018, producing an impressive 137 wRC+ with a .285-26-93-90-8 line. But that was right before the wheels fell off. He was limited to 283 plate appearances in 2019, while back and core injuries prevented him from taking the field at all in 2020. His draft stock has plummeted, as his current ADP is 287. This presents a unique buy-low opportunity, though. Haniger has looked fully healthy in spring training action so far. He has also been featured as a leadoff hitter in several games for the Mariners this spring. Even with his health struggles, he's never finished a season with a Hard Hit rate below 34.7% and has posted an ISO above .200 in each of his last three seasons, so he brings a track record of making consistent solid contact with power. He's likely to be forgotten by many, leaving a hitter with 20-homer potential hanging around until the end of drafts.
