Seattle Mariners outfielder Mitch Haniger continued his offensive surge Monday night, going 4-for-4 with a three-run home run in a 5-4 victory over the Boston Red Sox. He has now homered in three straight games, bringing his total to 33 for the season. It's his first four-hit game of the season, and he now has at least one base hit in nine of his last 10 games. Fantasy managers have to be thrilled that he's peaking at the right time to deliver them positive fantasy playoff results.

Seattle Mariners outfielder Mitch Haniger went 1-for-3 with a solo home run and a walk in Sunday's 5-4 loss to the Arizona Diamondbacks. He's now gone deep in two straight games, giving him 32 for the season. Haniger has hit safely in eight of his 10 September games, with exactly one hit on seven of those occasions. Fantasy managers will have to hope that this leads to a power streak for Haniger in the coming weeks of the fantasy playoffs.

Seattle Mariners outfielder Mitch Haniger provided one of the few bright spots for the team Saturday, hitting a two-run home run in the first inning of a 7-3 loss to the Arizona Diamondbacks. It was hit only hit in four at-bats and he struck out twice. Haniger has had a rough go of late, slashing .214/.316/.385 in his last 30 games, but his six homers in that time are a reminder of how much upside he offers. Fantasy managers would have to have a very deep roster to consider sitting Haniger in the upcoming scoring period.

Seattle Mariners outfielder Mitch Haniger didn't record a hit in Friday night's contest against the Arizona Diamondbacks, going 0-for-4 with three strikeouts. Haniger now has a dubious 10-game strikeout streak, with five whiffs in the last two games alone. He's gone 8-for-41 with one extra-base hit in that span. Haniger is still a solid fantasy play batting second in the Mariners lineups, but fantasy managers should keep an eye on his timing at the plate over the next few days to see if he should be active for the next scoring period.

Seattle Mariners outfielder Mitch Haniger reached base four times against the Kansas City Royals Saturday night, going 2-for-4 with two walks and two runs scored. Haniger has endured a difficult August, with a .215/.303/.376 slash line in 93 at-bats, but it's a good sign to see him exercising patience at the plate. Haniger has just four two-walk games this season, and two of them have come in the last three contests. Fantasy managers will be hoping that discipline will lead to more production as the fantasy playoffs approach.

Seattle Mariners outfielder Mitch Haniger got a day off from the outfield Monday, but he still brought his bat, slotting in as the designated hitter in the second spot in the lineup. Haniger went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run, his 29th of the season. Haniger only has four hits in his last seven games and 24 at-bats, but he's knocked three of those four over the fence, and he's also walked four times to give him a .167/.300/.542 slash line in that span. Haniger should be a weekly starter in all formats.

Seattle Mariners outfielder Mitch Haniger produced the only run of the day for Seattle against the Houston Astros, hitting a solo home run off starter Jake Odorizzi in a 15-1 blowout loss. It was his only hit in four at-bats. Haniger now has 28 homers on the season, tying him for 11th in the major leagues with four other players. He's put together a tremendous season by any metric, made even greater given how much time he missed in the two seasons prior to 2021. With an .800 OPS, 84 runs, and 71 RBI, he'd finish highly in a fantasy MVP vote based on investment.

Seattle Mariners outfielder Mitch Haniger launched a three-run blast Thursday against the Texas Rangers, part of a 2-for-5 day with a walk and three runs scored. Haniger has had a quiet August thus far, with a .242/.312/.379 slash line and two home runs in 66 at-bats, but he's proved his excellence all season with his 27 homers, 83 runs, 70 RBI, and .801 OPS. Fantasy managers can rely on him as a locked-in starter going forward.

Seattle Mariners outfielder Mitch Haniger went 1-for-5 with a run scored against the Toronto Blue Jays Sunday. Haniger has now scored three runs in the past two games, bringing his total to 79 on the year, which ranks him eighth in the majors in the statistic. With 26 homers and 66 RBI as well, Haniger has been among the best bargains in fantasy this year.

Seattle Mariners outfielder Mitch Haniger picked up three hits against the Tampa Bay Rays Wednesday, going 3-for-4 with a triple and a run scored. It's Haniger's first three-hit game since July 24, which is also the last time he hit a home run, with two of them in that game. Despite a slight drop-off in power production lately, Haniger has remained a solid on-base threat, reaching 11 times in 32 plate appearances in his last seven games. Other than a brief cold stretch in June, Haniger has been a top fantasy outfielder.

Seattle Mariners outfielder Mitch Haniger added two more hits Monday, going 2-for-4 with a walk and a run scored. Haniger now has a modest four-game hit streak going as he looks to build on a very successful July during which he slashed .269/.361/.516 with seven home runs. The acquisition of Abraham Toro has stretched out the Seattle lineup just a bit more, and Haniger remains in excellent position to accrue counting stats batting second on a regular basis. He should be a staple of fantasy lineups.

MINNEAPOLIS (AP) — Patrick Sandoval had his no-hit bid broken up with one out in the ninth inning on a soft double by rookie Brent Rooker and the Los Angeles Angels beat the Minnesota Twins 2-1 on Saturday night. Sandoval, a 24-year-old lefty who began the game with a 3-13 career record, struck out a career-high 13. There have already been seven no-hitters in the majors this season. The big league record of eight was set in 1884, the first year overhand pitching was permitted. The Twins hadn’t come close to a hit until Rooker, who fanned his first three times up, flared an opposite-field fly that fell just inside the line in right. Sandoval (3-4) smiled after the ball fell, retired the next batter and then was pulled after 108 pitches. He walked one and hit two. Closer Raisel Iglesias allowed an RBI double to Josh Donaldson before getting his 21st save in 25 chances. José Berríos (7-5) allowed two unearned runs in seven innings in perhaps his final start for Minnesota. ASTROS 4, RANGERS... [More]

Marcus Stroman pitched one-hit ball for eight innings, Dominic Smith launched a grand slam and the New York Mets cruised to a 7-0 win over the Cincinnati Reds on Wednesday. Stroman (7-8) gave up a leadoff single to Aristides Aquino in the third inning and little else. He struck out seven and walked one while giving New York’s beleaguered bullpen precious rest going into Thursday’s day off. Jeurys Familia struck out three in a hitless ninth. Luis Guillorme hit his first homer of the season and Jonathan Villar also connected for the NL East leaders. Mets manager Luis Rojas returned to the dugout after serving a two-game suspension for excessive arguing on Sunday. Jeff Hoffman (3-5) came off the 10-day injured list to make his first start since May 26 and lasted four innings, allowing seven hits — including Smith's slam — and five runs with three walks.

WASHINGTON (AP) — The game between the San Diego Padres and Washington was suspended in the sixth inning Saturday night after police said there was a shooting outside Nationals Park. The shooting, an exchange of gunfire between people in two cars, left three people injured, according to Ashan Benedict, the Metropolitan Police Department’s executive assistant police chief. One of the people who was shot was a woman who was attending the game and who was struck while she was outside the stadium, he said. Her injuries weren’t considered life-threatening. Two people who were in one of the cars later walked into a local hospital with gunshot wounds and were being questioned by investigators, Benedict said, and the extent of their injuries wasn’t immediately clear. Investigators were still trying to locate the second vehicle involved in the shooting. The gunshots caused panic among fans inside the stadium, some of whom ducked for cover, hiding underneath tables and behind seats as announcers... [More]
