Mitch Haniger made his presence felt in the Mariners' 6-1 victory over the Diamondbacks, delivering when it counted.

Fantasy Impact

Haniger went 1-for-4 with a home run and four RBI. Despite a modest .244 batting average over 24 games this season, Haniger's ability to drive in runs remains evident, as evidenced by his 18 RBI and four homers. His performance in this game, particularly the clutch home run, underscores his potential value in fantasy lineups, especially in formats that reward power numbers. However, his high strikeout rate (.296) continues to be a concern, potentially capping his batting average upside. Fantasy managers should consider Haniger a viable option for power stats, but temper expectations for batting average improvements.
