17 Mitch Haniger RF

Haniger went 1-for-3 with a solo home run, two walks and two runs overall in a win over the Indians on Sunday.

Haniger slugged his eighth homer of the campaign in the second inning, and his patient eye at the plate also led to a pair of walks. The outfielder has gotten May off to a solid start, as he's now 4-for-11 with a double and Sunday's homer and pair of walks across the last three games.

Haniger (shoulder) went 0-for-3 with two walks in a loss to the Cubs on Tuesday.

Haniger was back in the leadoff spot after a day off Sunday to rest his sore shoulder. The outfielder is mired in a modest but multi-game slump, as he's gone just 1-for-17 over the last five contests.

Haniger (shoulder) is in the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Cubs, Greg Johns of MLB.com reports.

A diving attempt at a catch Saturday left Haniger with a sore shoulder. He was held out Sunday ahead of Monday's team off day, and it seems the two days provided sufficient rest for the injury. He will lead off against lefty Cole Hamels, and Haniger figures to continue on as the regular leadoff man for the foreseeable future after primarily batting second early in the campaign.

Haniger is dealing with shoulder soreness and is out of the lineup Sunday as a result, Greg Johns of MLB.com reports.

Haniger landed hard on the warning track in an effort to make a diving catch on Saturday night. It's his first day off of the season and appears to be a precaution, though further updates will clarify his status for the Mariners' upcoming series against the Cubs.

Haniger is not in Sunday's lineup against the Rangers, Greg Johns of MLB.com reports.

Haniger will get the day off as Jay Bruce shifts right field to make way for Dan Vogelbach as the designated hitter. It is Haniger's first day off of the season and he will almost certainly return to the lineup as the Mariners begin their series against the Cubs on Tuesday.
