Mariners' Sam Haggerty: Quiet since season debut
Rotowire
Haggerty went 1-for-3 with an RBI single and a run in a win over the Athletics on Sunday, his first hit since making his season debut May 1.
Haggerty had gone hitless in his first eight plate appearances of the season after a delayed debut due to a non-baseball-related medical issue. The veteran utility man has now broken through with his first knock of the season and also has a walk and stolen base on his resume, but he'll likely continue seeing only sporadic playing time while good health prevails across the Mariners' roster.

Mariners' Sam Haggerty: On way to majors
Rotowire
Haggerty is expected to be called up from Triple-A Tacoma ahead of Monday's series opener against Atlanta, MLB.com reports.
The move isn't yet official, but during his time at Tacoma, Haggerty has worked off any rust he may have accumulated during a multi-week absence due to a personal medical issue. The veteran utility man has generated a .344 average and .417 on-base percentage during his 17 games with the Rainiers, and as he's done in past seasons, he's expected to fill a super-utility role with the big club. In a corresponding move, rookie Jonatan Clase is expected to be optioned back to the Rainiers after a two-week stay with the Mariners.

Mariners' Sam Haggerty: Remaining at Tacoma for now
Rotowire
Haggerty (undisclosed) continues on a rehab assignment with Triple-A Tacoma, and the utility man is likely to remain there for at least a few more games per general manager Justin Hollander, SeattleSports.com reports.
Haggerty dealt with a non-baseball-related medical issue in the latter portion of spring training and began the regular season on the 15-day injured list. The 29-year-old has been making good use of his at-bats with Tacoma, producing a .375/.444/.438 slash line across 18 plate appearances over five games. Hollander noted the Mariners would like Haggerty to still get some more minor-league at-bats before being activated "at some point," considering he missed a significant portion of the Cactus League slate.

Haggerty started in center field and played six innings on Friday before logging a full seven frames at second base on Sunday. The veteran utility man, who's dealt with a medical issue unrelated to baseball in recent weeks, is likely to be deemed ready for activation at some point during the coming week, but he may get at least another game or two with the Rainiers under his belt considering he'd last seen game action March 16 before Friday.

Mariners' Sam Haggerty: Doubles in return Tuesday
Rotowire
Haggerty (arm) slotted in at designated hitter and went 1-for-3 with a double and a run in a Cactus League loss to the Athletics on Tuesday.
Haggerty jumped back into game action for the first time since last Wednesday after recovering from a bout of arm soreness. The veteran utility man's two-bagger was a welcome sight as he looks to shake off some doldrums at the plate prior to the start of the season -- he'd come into Tuesday's game having gone 1-for-13 in Cactus League action.

Rotowire
Haggerty (arm) is batting leadoff as the designated hitter in Tuesday's Cactus League game against the A's.
Haggerty will return to game action Tuesday after missing most of the past week due to arm soreness, though he won't immediately return to playing the field.

Mariners' Sam Haggerty: Sidelined with arm soreness
Rotowire
Haggerty hasn't played in a Cactus League game since Wednesday due to arm soreness, Shannon Drayer of 710 ESPN Seattle reports.
Drayer adds that the utility asset is due to return to games "in the next day or two." Haggerty has had a rough spring at the plate thus far, hitting .077 (1-for-13) with a walk, a stolen base and three runs over six Cactus League games. However, the veteran will be counted on again to fill in at multiple infield and outfield positions during the 2024 campaign after producing a .255/.345/.382 slash line with 20 extra-base hits, 28 RBI and 23 stolen bases over 135 games for the Mariners in the last two seasons.

Mariners' Sam Haggerty: Avoids arbitration with Seattle
Rotowire
The Mariners and Haggerty avoided arbitration by agreeing to a one-year, $900,000 contract Thursday, Jon Morosi of MLB Network reports.
Haggerty was arbitration-eligible for the first time this winter. The utility player slashed .253/.364/.341 with one home run and 10 stolen bases over 52 games for the Mariners in 2023. Haggerty boasts a career .844 OPS versus lefties and figures to get more starts against southpaws in 2024.

Mariners' Sam Haggerty: Productive despite part-time role
Rotowire
Haggerty started at designated hitter in Wednesday's loss to the Astros and went 1-for-1 with a stolen base and a walk before being pinch-hit for in the sixth inning.
Haggerty's steal leaves him one short of a double-digit tally for the second straight season. The 29-year-old utility man has just five extra-base hits across 101 plate appearances, but he's carrying a .350 on-base percentage thanks largely to a career-best 11.9 percent walk rate. Haggerty's versatility should allow him to see at least a couple of other appearances in Seattle's final four games of the regular season.

Mariners' Sam Haggerty: On base three times in loss
Rotowire
Haggerty went 2-for-3 with an RBI single, a double and a run in a loss to the Rays on Sunday.
Haggerty was one of the Mariners' most productive hitters on the afternoon despite operating out of the bottom of the order. The 29-year-old utility man was mostly abysmal at the plate with intermittent playing time over the first four-plus months, but Haggerty has hit his stride of late by posting a .368 average and 1.033 OPS across his last nine games.

Mariners' Sam Haggerty: Swipes pair of bags in win
Rotowire
Haggerty went 0-for-3 with a walk, two stolen bases and a run in a win over the Mets on Saturday.
Haggerty's pair of sixth-inning pilfers led to a run and would prove to be key, given the final margin of victory. The utility man stole second after drawing a walk and then also took third base to put himself in position to eventually cross the plate on Mark Vientos' throwing error. Haggerty was just recalled from Triple-A Tacoma on Friday as part of roster expansion, and his extensive defensive versatility should afford him semi-regular playing time despite his offensive struggles this season.
