Sam Haggerty Stats

Seattle Mariners general manager Jerry Dipoto said the team's top two bench players -- Dylan Moore (core) and Sam Haggerty (groin) -- may be a bit behind schedule in spring training when position players report on Feb. 20. Moore had core-muscle surgery in early December and had "a bit of a setback" in his rehab. Haggerty had a Grade 2 adductor strain at the end of last year, but he resumed full baseball activity last week. There are indications that he needed offseason surgery. Barring more setbacks for Moore and Haggerty, they should both be on the Opening Day roster as bench bats for the improved Mariners. Moore will be an option against left-handed pitching and is a deep-league option for steals after stealing 20-plus bags each of the last two years.

Seattle Mariners first baseman Evan White (hip) is as healthy as he's ever been with spring training approaching. Meanwhile, infielder/outfielder Sam Haggerty (groin) should also be good to go for spring training. Reliever Andres Munoz (foot) is out of a walking boot and has started his throwing program after having foot surgery. White had sports-hernia surgery in 2022 and also deal with a hip injury, limiting him to just 107 plate appearances at Triple-A Tacoma. The 26-year-old will need to stay healthy and produce in order to find regular at-bats at the major-league level in 2023. Haggerty will serve in a utility role yet again after hitting .256 with five homers, 23 RBI and 13 steals in 83 games. He's worth rostering in AL-only leagues for his speed. Munoz had a breakout season in 2022 and should serve as a top setup man ahead of closer Paul Sewald when he's healthy.

The Seattle Mariners placed outfielder Sam Haggerty (groin) on the 10-day injured list with a left groin strain on Tuesday and recalled infielder Abraham Toro from Triple-A Tacoma in a corresponding move. Left-hander Justus Sheffield was also designated as the team's 29th man for their doubleheader against the Detroit Tigers. Haggerty injured himself in Monday's loss to the Tigers and will now be unavailable to begin the postseason this weekend. There's a good chance we won't see the 28-year-old again in 2022, even if the Mariners advance past the wild-card round. He'll finish up the regular season hitting .256/.335/.403 with five home runs, 23 RBI, 29 runs scored and 13 stolen bases in 83 games in his third season in Seattle.
