SAM HAGGERTY NEWS

Pinch hit home run Haggerty (forehead) went 2-for-2 with a solo home run in Tuesday's 8-6 victory over the Yankees.

Impact Haggerty entered Tuesday's game as a pinch hitter for Jarred Kelenic and launched a go-ahead solo shot in the seventh inning. This was his first home run since July 14. Haggerty has seen limited time this season, just 72 at-bats, but has performed well. The outfielder has five multi-hit performances across 18 appearances since the start of July. Haggerty is slashing .306/.351/.528 on the season, with three home runs and five steals.

Not yet starting, but available Haggerty (forehead) remains out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Yankees, but should be available off the bench.

Impact Haggerty will take a seat for the third game in a row, but his continued absence from the lineup looks to be a managerial decision rather than the result of an injury. Though the 28-year-old exited Saturday's 5-4 win over Houston after suffering a cut on his forehead that required eight stitches, he was deployed off the bench as a pinch runner in Sunday's 3-2 loss to the Astros. Haggerty simply appears to be viewed as a bench player, even though the Mariners are at less than full strength in the outfield with all of Julio Rodriguez (wrist), Dylan Moore (back), Mitch Haniger (ankle) and Taylor Trammell (hamstring) on the injured list.

Gets stitches, available off bench Haggerty (forehead) is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Astros but should be available off the bench, Ryan Divish of The Seattle Times reports.

Impact That being said, the Mariners would ideally prefer to stay away from Haggerty, who exited Saturday's win due to a cut on the left side of his forehead just above his eyebrow. According to Shannon Drayer of 710 ESPN Seattle, Haggerty required eight stitches to seal the wound, so he could be in some discomfort when he puts on a hat or batting helmet. Assuming Haggerty is feeling well following the day off, he could contend for an everyday role in the outfield in the short term after the Mariners placed Julio Rodriguez (wrist) and Dylan Moore (back) on the 10-day injured list Sunday due to the injuries they sustained in Saturday's win.

Cuts forehead Haggerty left Saturday's game against Houston due to a cut on his forehead, Shannon Drayer of 710 ESPN Seattle reports.

Impact Haggerty was frustrated by his inability to get a bunt down in the ninth inning and spiked his helmet, which bounced back up and hit him in the face. Julio Rodriguez (wrist) and Dylan Moore (back) also left Saturday's game, which could leave the Mariners with a depleted outfield in the short term.

Playing time likely to drop Haggerty is out of the lineup for Thursday's game against the Astros.

Impact Haggerty is on the bench for the second time in three contests, and he appears set to lose out on playing time after Kyle Lewis returned from the injured list last weekend and after Julio Rodriguez recently returned from a four-game absence. Mitch Haniger (ankle) is also in the midst of a minor-league rehab assignment and could be activated from the 60-day IL within the next few days, further blocking Haggerty's path to consistent playing time in the outfield. It's a tough break for Haggerty, who had been playing at a high level in July with an .893 OPS and three stolen bases over 17 games this month.

Productive out of bottom of order Haggerty went 2-for-3 with an RBI double, another two-bagger and a run in a win over the Rangers on Wednesday.

Impact Haggerty wreaked some havoc out of the No. 9 spot in the order, lacing his second and third extra-base hits over the last four games. The 28-year-old continues to produce more often than not with a recent stretch of playing time that's largely been the byproduct of Mitch Haniger's (ankle) IL stint, as Haggerty boasts a .351/.385/.622 slash line with Wednesday's two doubles, a triple, two home runs, six RBI, three steals and 10 runs across his last 13 games.

Laces triple in loss Haggerty went 1-for-4 with a two-run triple and a run in a loss to the Astros on Sunday.

Impact The speedy Haggerty's seventh-inning three-bagger off Framber Valdez plated Abraham Toro and Dylan Moore to give the Mariners their first two runs of the game. Haggerty has made good use of his steady playing time of late, hitting .389 (7-for-18) with Sunday's triple, a home run, three RBI, a walk, a stolen base and six runs over his last six games.

Multi-hit effort in win Haggerty went 3-for-4 with a run in a win over the Rangers on Sunday.

Impact Haggerty continued to make impressive contributions Sunday, this time serving as a thorn in the side of Rangers pitching out of the bottom of the order. The 28-year-old now has a trio of three-hit efforts in the last eight games, affording him a .375 average over that span despite the fact he's also gone hitless in four other starts during the sample.

Getting playing time in right field Haggerty will start in right field and bat ninth in Sunday's game against the Rangers.

Impact The switch-hitting Haggerty will be making his fourth start in right field in five games and may end up filling the strong side of a platoon at the position with the righty-hitting Dylan Moore, who is on the bench for the second day in a row. Through 11 games in July, Haggerty is hitting .259 with two home runs, two stolen bases, six runs and three RBI.

Key stolen base Saturday Haggerty entered Saturday's extra-inning win over the Rangers as a pinch runner in the top of the 10th inning, stole third base and eventually scored the game-winning run.

Impact The speedy Haggerty's swipe of third base, his fourth steal of the year, was key, as it allowed him to score easily when J.P. Crawford laced a single into right field to snap a 2-2 tie. It's been a somewhat momentous first three games of the series for Haggerty, who also notched an inside-the-park home run as part of a three-hit night in Thursday's opening installment against the Rangers.

Uses speed on inside-the-park homer Haggerty went 3-for-4 with an inside-the-park home run and three total runs scored in Thursday's 6-5 win over the Rangers.

Impact His drive to center field bounced in front of and past Rangers' Leody Taveras, and Haggerty turned on the jets from there. It was just the second homer of the year for the outfielder, who has a pair of three-hit efforts in his last five games. He's slashing .283/.327/.478 with five RBI, nine runs scored and three stolen bases through 49 plate appearances. The switch-hitter doesn't have a clear path to everyday at-bats, but he should challenge the righty-hitting Dylan Moore for playing time in right field in the immediate future.

Retreats to bench Haggerty is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Nationals, Ryan Divish of The Seattle Times reports.

Impact Haggerty had started two of the past three games in the corner outfield, but he'll lose out on a spot in the lineup with Jesse Winker back in action Tuesday after completing his six-game suspension. The Mariners will be without center fielder Julio Rodriguez on Tuesday while he serves a one-game suspension, but manager Scott Servais will tab Adam Frazier to replace the 21-year-old All-Star in the outfield rather than Haggerty. Beginning with Wednesday's series finale in Washington, the Mariners will likely deploy an everyday outfield of Winker, Rodriguez and Dylan Moore through the All-Star break, resulting in Haggerty moving into a full-time reserve role.

Stuffs box score Haggerty went 3-for-4 with a solo home run, two total RBI, two total runs and a stolen base during Tuesday's 6-2 win over the Padres.

Impact The 28-year-old rejoined the lineup Tuesday after sitting out the past two games, and he helped power Seattle's offense from the bottom of the order. Haggerty now has a .303/.343/.485 slash line for the season, though that's come in only 35 plate appearances.

Still not starting Haggerty isn't in the lineup Monday against the Padres.

Impact Haggerty recently drew four consecutive starts and went 4-for-12 with two doubles, two runs, an RBI and a steal during that time. However, he'll retreat to the bench for a second consecutive game while Marcus Wilson starts in right field and bats ninth.
