ANAHEIM — The Mariners outfield has taken another hit with an injury. On Friday afternoon, hours before opening a three-game series with the Angels and a 10-day, nine-game road trip, the team placed outfielder Mitch Haniger on the injured list with a ruptured testicle.
Haniger suffered the injury in an at-bat in the third inning of Thursday’s 8-7 loss when he fouled a ball straight into his groin area. He remained in the game until being removed for a pinch hitter in the ninth inning. He’s the fourth Mariners player to suffer this injury.
