PEORIA, Ariz. -- The early injury bug continued to bite the Mariners on Saturday as right fielder Mitch Haniger was ruled out for several days to rest a sore hand, while first baseman Daniel Vogelbach had his foot in a walking boot after being hit by a pitch in Friday's Cactus League opener.
Haniger's situation is believed to be minor, as he said his right hand has been tender off and on over the last month after changing the grip on his swing over the offseason, but the team is being extra cautious after first baseman Ryon Healy was sidelined four to six weeks following surgery to remove bone spurs from his right hand.
