Mariners' Mitch Haniger Injured in In 1st Game Since COVID-19 List Activation

This is not a coronavirus-related relapse, but it could end up being even more severe as the 31-year-old appeared to tweak his ankle. Haniger, who was in the designated hitter hole tonight, promptly singled off Elieser Hernandez in his first at-bat against the Miami Marlins.
