2024 Fantasy Outlook
Haniger has played a full season just once since 2018 and appeared in only 61 games with the Giants in 2023 because of oblique, forearm and back injuries. That was the first year of a two-year, $28 million agreement with San Francisco, and Haniger will switch teams again this year after being traded to Seattle in January. Haniger should be at full strength leading into the start of spring training and will be given every opportunity to claim an everyday role, but it's very hard to trust that he can be a reliable or useful presence on a fantasy roster. When he was healthy last season, the now 33-year-old outfielder posted career worsts in batting average (.209) and OPS (.631) while tallying only six home runs across 299 plate appearances.

Clubs long ball on Opening Day
Haniger went 2-for-3 with a home run, a walk, two total runs and two total RBI in Thursday's loss to the Red Sox.
ANALYSIS
Haniger drilled a two-run homer to right field in the fourth inning for Seattle's first runs of the campaign. It was a promising start to the season for the 33-year-old, who is coming off a pair of injury-plagued campaigns. The last time Haniger made it through a full season mostly healthy was 2021, when he slugged 39 homers and notched 100 RBI over 157 games. That makes him a somewhat alluring option in fantasy, though the health concerns present a significant drawback.

Haniger had a monster season in 2021 two years ahead of free agency, but he followed that up with the kind of year which reminded us of his fragility as he headed into free agency missing over 100 games with a high ankle sprain after fouling a ball off his instep in late June. The pre-injury numbers were mostly in line with non-2021 efforts but not the type of season a 31-year old pending free agent wanted to hit the open market with on his resume. The Giants still saw a clear everyday middle-of-the-order hitter, giving Haniger a three-year $43.5 million deal, and the fact that he is a righty on that type of deal should lock in playing time even on the platoon-happy Giants. It's actually a park upgrade for Haniger, as Oracle Park ranks as a slightly above-average park for righty hitters (per Baseball Savant), while T-Mobile Park in Seattle ranks second-worst for righties.
