Seattle Mariners OF Out of Lineup Sunday as He Battles New Injury

While Haniger isn't having a great season, hitting just .211, he is on a nice stretch at the plate. He's hitting .261 over his last seven games and .255 over his last 15. He has 11 home runs and 43 RBI for the year.

The 33-year-old Haniger came back to the Mariners this past offseason in a trade with the San Francisco Giants. Seattle shipped out former Cy Young winner Robbie Ray to San Francisco in that deal.

Now an eight-year veteran, Haniger made his major league debut in 2016 with the Arizona Diamondbacks. He starred for Seattle from 2017-2022 before leaving for the Giants in 2023. He made one All-Star Game in his previous Seattle tenure and also hit a career-high 39 homers for the M's back in 2021.

The Mariners will take on the Pirates on Sunday morning at 10:35 a.m. PT. George Kirby will be on the mound for Seattle.
