Mitch Haniger packs a punch, Mariners fall short
by Chris Schommer | Mariners Correspondent | Sun, Jul 7th 7:15am EDT
Mitch Haniger went 1-for-3 with a home run and three RBI in the Mariners' narrow 5-4 loss to the Blue Jays.
Fantasy Impact:
His three-run shot contributed significantly to the team's offensive effort, though it wasn't enough to secure a win. Despite the loss, Haniger's power display is a positive sign for fantasy managers, especially given his struggle to maintain a strong batting average this season, currently sitting at .210. His home run count has now ticked up to eight, and while his strikeout rate remains high, his ability to drive in runs (34 RBI in 79 games) can offer some value in formats that reward power and RBI. Managers should continue to monitor his performance for signs of consistency or improvement in hitting.
