Rest-of-Season Projections
2024 Fantasy Outlook
Haniger has played a full season just once since 2018 and appeared in only 61 games with the Giants in 2023 because of oblique, forearm and back injuries. That was the first year of a two-year, $28 million agreement with San Francisco, and Haniger will switch teams again this year after being traded to Seattle in January. Haniger should be at full strength leading into the start of spring training and will be given every opportunity to claim an everyday role, but it's very hard to trust that he can be a reliable or useful presence on a fantasy roster. When he was healthy last season, the now 33-year-old outfielder posted career worsts in batting average (.209) and OPS (.631) while tallying only six home runs across 299 plate appearances.

Sitting for second time in series
Haniger is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Yankees.
ANALYSIS
Haniger will hit the bench for the second time in the series, and he could find himself in more of a part-time role or short-side platoon role moving forward after the Mariners recently welcomed Dominic Canzone back from the injured list. With Canzone and the hot-hitting Luke Raley having made cases for regular roles in the corner outfield, Mitch Garver could represent Haniger's primary competition for playing time at designated hitter. Haniger has turned in an underwhelming .587 OPS in May and is slashing .217/.280/.361 overall on the season.

Haniger had a monster season in 2021 two years ahead of free agency, but he followed that up with the kind of year which reminded us of his fragility as he headed into free agency missing over 100 games with a high ankle sprain after fouling a ball off his instep in late June. The pre-injury numbers were mostly in line with non-2021 efforts but not the type of season a 31-year old pending free agent wanted to hit the open market with on his resume. The Giants still saw a clear everyday middle-of-the-order hitter, giving Haniger a three-year $43.5 million deal, and the fact that he is a righty on that type of deal should lock in playing time even on the platoon-happy Giants. It's actually a park upgrade for Haniger, as Oracle Park ranks as a slightly above-average park for righty hitters (per Baseball Savant), while T-Mobile Park in Seattle ranks second-worst for righties.
