Haniger is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Rays.
With Cal Raleigh getting a day off behind the plate but staying in the lineup at designated hitter, the Mariners won't have a spot available for Haniger. The 33-year-old should crack the lineup more often than not when the Mariners face left-handed pitching, but Haniger's opportunities to pick up starts against righties may be more sporadic, especially now that Julio Rodriguez is able to play the outfield again coming off a right ankle injury.
