Mitch Haniger is anticipated to resume regular batting practice sometime this weekend. The Seattle right-fielder was placed on the disabled list because of a facial laceration suffered from a wayward fastball uncorked by Mets pitcher Jacob deGrom on July 22.
Fantasy Implications: Haniger has been throwing and hitting since the beaning. Manager Scott Servais said, "Mitch is doing really well." The Mariners can activate him without a corresponding roster move, if the 26-year-old outfielder remains on a rehab assignment through August. The Mariner top brass will take this into consideration because Leonys Martin, who replaced Haniger on the roster, is out of options. The sophomore was slashing .255/.358/.425 with 7 HR and 24 RBIs in 57 games this season. He previously missed 42 games because of a strained right oblique muscle.
