Mitch Haniger, Braden Bishop Have Surgery
5 years agoSeattle Mariners outfielders Mitch Haniger (testicle) and Braden Bishop (spleen) both had surgery on Friday and are out indefinitely. The Mariners have had some bad luck in their outfield this week after just trading Jay Bruce last weekend. Haniger is the big one, though, and he could wind up missing a month or more with this freak injury. He had been disappointing with a .220 average, but his counting stats of 15 homers, 46 runs and 32 RBI play in all leagues. With both Haniger and Bishop on the shelf, Mac Williamson will see everyday playing time now in Seattle, but he won't be worth adding outside of AL-only leagues.
