M's Hope To Have Mitch Haniger, Kyle Lewis Back In July
2 years agoSeattle Mariners general manager Jerry Dipoto said he hopes to have outfielders Mitch Haniger (ankle) and Kyle Lewis (concussion) back in the lineup by the end of July. Haniger is slowly progressing but has starting doing some baseball activities, and he'll need to go on a lengthy minor league rehab assignment before returning. The 31-year-old had seven hits (three home runs) in 35 at-bats this year before getting hurt, and he'll return to being a lineup regular once he's activated. Lewis recently started a rehab assignment, but the M's are bringing him along slowly. The 26-year-old has served as the designated hitter in two games so far with High-A Everett, but he'll need to play in the outfield before returning to Seattle. He, too, should be a starting outfielder for the Mariners when he's healthy.
