Impact Haniger was plunked in the arm by Jack Flaherty, and he was diagnosed with a fracture after leaving the game. The outfielder will assuredly be placed on the injured list before Wednesday's game versus St. Louis, and it appears the Giants will bring up top prospect Luis Matos to replace Haniger on the roster.

Sitting Friday Haniger isn't starting Friday against the Cubs, Maria I. Guardado of MLB.com reports.

Impact Haniger has cooled off considerably over the past seven days, slashing just .136/.269/.182 in that span. He'll sit Friday in favor of Blake Sabol, who gets the start in left field while batting seventh.

Doubles twice in blowout win Haniger went 3-for-5 with two doubles, two RBI and two runs scored in Monday's 14-4 win over the Pirates.

Impact Haniger has a trio of three-hit efforts over his last four games, and five multi-hit contests in his last 10. He had a pair of RBI doubles as part of the Giants' eight-run seventh inning. Haniger has been a big part of the team's recent success -- he was hitting just .172 as recently as May 16 and is now up to .255 through 28 contests this year. He's added four home runs, 19 RBI, 16 runs scored, six doubles and a stolen base.

Homers again Saturday Haniger went 3-for-4 with a two-run home run in Saturday's 3-1 win over the Brewers.

Impact Haniger's second homer in as many days provided the Giants' margin of victory in a low-scoring contest. It was also his second straight three-hit effort, and his fourth multi-hit game in his last eight. After starting slow following a season-opening stint on the injured list with an oblique strain, it appears the outfielder is rounding back into form. He's slashing .237/.265/.402 with four homers, 17 RBI, 13 runs scored and a stolen base over 26 games while seeing a near-everyday role in left field.

Impact Haniger was busiest in the sixth inning, driving in the go-ahead run with an RBI single before scoring on Patrick Bailey's productive out. The steal was Haniger's first of the season, though he's typically not a huge speed threat -- he's never had more than eight steals in a season, and this one was his first since 2021. The outfielder is slashing .211/.228/.329 with two home runs, 11 RBI, 10 runs scored and three doubles through 21 contests.

Impact Haniger may not want to leave Mexico City -- he hit a homer in both of the Giants' games south of the border. The outfielder has now gone 5-for-16 (.313) through his first five contests of the year. He's added five RBI, five runs scored, two homers, a double and two walks through 19 plate appearances.

Swats first homer Haniger went 2-for-5 with one double, one homer, three RBI and two runs scored in Saturday's 16-11 loss against the Padres.

Impact Haniger had his best game as a Giant, hitting his first home run. Haniger has appeared in four of the Giants' five games since his return from the 10-day injured list. The left fielder should be a good source of power, as he drilled 39 homers in his last full season.

Sitting Tuesday Haniger isn't in the Giants' lineup Tuesday against the Cardinals, Maria I. Guardado of MLB.com reports.

Impact After going 0-for-2 with a walk and an RBI in his season debut Monday, Haniger will take a day off Tuesday. Michael Conforto will shift to right field in Haniger's absence, moving LaMonte Wade into left and giving David Villar a start at first base batting ninth.

Plates one in debut Haniger went 0-for-2 with a walk and an RBI in Monday's 4-0 win over the Cardinals.

Impact Haniger got the nod in left field for his season debut after he was activated from the 10-day injured list. He should see time in the corner outfield, though with the Giants' major-league roster at nearly full health, Haniger could get some days off against right-handed pitchers at times. Staying healthy will be the focus now -- he's played more than 100 games just twice in his seven-year career, and he missed all of the 2020 campaign.

APRIL 25, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Activated for season debut Haniger was activated from the 10-day injured list by the Giants on Monday, Susan Slusser of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

Impact Haniger will play left field in his season and Giants debut after recovering from a left oblique strain. The veteran outfielder looked good in four rehab games with Triple-A Sacramento, going 4-for-13 with a couple home runs. If he can stay healthy, Haniger should be a solid power source for fantasy managers.

APRIL 24, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Approaching season debut Giants manager Gabe Kapler said Thursday that Haniger (oblique) is getting close to returning to the team's lineup, Alex Pavlovic of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.

Impact Haniger most likely won't return Friday against the left-handed Joey Lucchesi as initially expected, but a return appears to be just around the corner. The 32-year-old outfielder has played in two rehab games so far, hitting 3-for-7 with a home run.

APRIL 20, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Gearing up for rehab assignment Haniger (oblique) is set to begin a rehab assignment at Triple-A Sacramento on Tuesday, Alex Pavlovic of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.

Impact Haniger looks like he'll advance to the final phase of his recovery program for the left oblique strain he sustained March 10. The Giants had been hopeful that Haniger would be in store for a minimum-length stay on the 10-day injured list to begin the season, but a back issue cropped back during the rehab process and pushed back his timeline for a return. Haniger will likely need multiple games in the minors to get his timing back at the plate and play a full nine innings in the field before the Giants are comfortable activating him from the IL.
