Seattle Mariners second baseman/outfielder Sam Haggerty (personal) will start the season on the injured list with a personal medical issue, per general manager Justin Hollander. Hollander only specified that the injury is non-baseball related. The 29-year-old spent most of his time at Triple-A Tacoma last season, slashing .324/.419/.578 with eight home runs, 19 RBI, and 19 stolen bases in 222 plate appearances. However, he batted just .136 in 22 spring plate appearances.

Seattle Mariners general manager Jerry Dipoto said the team's top two bench players -- Dylan Moore (core) and Sam Haggerty (groin) -- may be a bit behind schedule in spring training when position players report on Feb. 20. Moore had core-muscle surgery in early December and had "a bit of a setback" in his rehab. Haggerty had a Grade 2 adductor strain at the end of last year, but he resumed full baseball activity last week. There are indications that he needed offseason surgery. Barring more setbacks for Moore and Haggerty, they should both be on the Opening Day roster as bench bats for the improved Mariners. Moore will be an option against left-handed pitching and is a deep-league option for steals after stealing 20-plus bags each of the last two years.

Seattle Mariners first baseman Evan White (hip) is as healthy as he's ever been with spring training approaching. Meanwhile, infielder/outfielder Sam Haggerty (groin) should also be good to go for spring training. Reliever Andres Munoz (foot) is out of a walking boot and has started his throwing program after having foot surgery. White had sports-hernia surgery in 2022 and also deal with a hip injury, limiting him to just 107 plate appearances at Triple-A Tacoma. The 26-year-old will need to stay healthy and produce in order to find regular at-bats at the major-league level in 2023. Haggerty will serve in a utility role yet again after hitting .256 with five homers, 23 RBI and 13 steals in 83 games. He's worth rostering in AL-only leagues for his speed. Munoz had a breakout season in 2022 and should serve as a top setup man ahead of closer Paul Sewald when he's healthy.

The Seattle Mariners placed outfielder Sam Haggerty (groin) on the 10-day injured list with a left groin strain on Tuesday and recalled infielder Abraham Toro from Triple-A Tacoma in a corresponding move. Left-hander Justus Sheffield was also designated as the team's 29th man for their doubleheader against the Detroit Tigers. Haggerty injured himself in Monday's loss to the Tigers and will now be unavailable to begin the postseason this weekend. There's a good chance we won't see the 28-year-old again in 2022, even if the Mariners advance past the wild-card round. He'll finish up the regular season hitting .256/.335/.403 with five home runs, 23 RBI, 29 runs scored and 13 stolen bases in 83 games in his third season in Seattle.

Seattle Mariners outfielder Sam Haggerty (groin) suffered a groin injury on Monday night in the loss to the Detroit Tigers and had crutches by his locker after the game, according to manager Scott Servais. Haggerty will undergo an MRI exam on Tuesday, but he almost certainly won't be available to finish the regular season, and it remains to be seen if he'll be ready to play in the wild-card series this weekend. The 28-year-old went 1-for-2 with a run scored, stolen base and two walks in the game before leaving and is now hitting .256/.335/.403 with five home runs, 23 RBI, 29 runs scored and 13 stolen bases in his 176 at-bats for Seattle in 2022.

Seattle Mariners outfielder Sam Haggerty (finger) left the game early on Friday against the Cleveland Guardians after taking a pitch off his fingers on a sacrifice bunt attempt in the eighth inning. He was in quite a bit of pain and was replaced in right field by Dylan Moore to start the ninth frame. Before leaving the game, Haggerty went 0-for-3 with three strikeouts, so all in all it was a pretty rough game for him. For now, he should be considered day-to-day, but it would be a surprise to see him in the lineup on Saturday. The 28-year-old has been solid in limited playing time this year, hitting .303/.349/.479 with an .828 OPS, four home runs, 15 RBI, 22 runs scored and 10 stolen bases in only 119 at-bats.

Seattle Mariners utility man Sam Haggerty made the most of his playing time Tuesday, going 3-for-4 with a home run, two RBI, two runs scored, and a stolen base from the ninth spot in the lineup. It's his first home run and third stolen base of the season. Haggerty now has seven hits in his last 17 at-bats and is slugging .706 in that span. He doesn't figure to see much playing time as Seattle's regulars return from suspension, but he's the type of player who can quickly fill up the fantasy scoresheet when he does get an opportunity.

A look at what's happening around the majors today: ___ MEANS STREAK? Orioles ace John Means got five days of rest following his no-hitter last week against Seattle, and now he'll try to match Johnny Vander Meer's record with a second straight no-no against the streaking Mets, who have won five in a row for the first time since August 2019. Vander Meer is the only pitcher in major league history with consecutive no-hitters, accomplished in 1938 for the Cincinnati Reds. Means (4-0, 1.37 ERA) was a wild pitch away from a perfect game against the Mariners — Sam Haggerty raced safely to first base after he struck out swinging on a third-inning curveball in the dirt. Marcus Stroman (3-3, 2.12) hopes to anchor New York's rotation until Jacob deGrom returns. The two-time Cy Young Award winner will be placed on the injured list before the game after exiting a start Sunday with right side soreness. The Mets said an MRI of deGrom's side taken Sunday night was “clear of any issues.” POWER SURGE Luke... [More]

SEATTLE (AP) — The Baltimore Orioles already had the feel-good story of the season with the return of Trey Mancini from colon cancer surgery. For more than a month, the youngsters at the core of their rebuild have — perhaps surprisingly so — played well enough to hang around the .500 mark in the AL East. And if they needed additional proof they have an ace on their pitching staff, John Means provided it on Wednesday. Throwing the first individual no-hitter by an Orioles pitcher in more than 50 years is plenty of affirmation. “That’s the feeling you’re getting with John right now is, you go to the ballpark (John’s) on the mound, it’s going to be a fun night,” Baltimore manager Brandon Hyde said. “That’s what you feel like when you have a number one or a top of the rotation guy on the mound is when you get to the ballpark we got a really good chance to win this game.” Means more than just improved to 4-0 on Wednesday. He etched himself in Orioles lore throwing the first individual no-hitter... [More]

SEATTLE (AP) — John Means threw the major leagues’ third no-hitter this season and came within a wild pitch on a third strike of a perfect game, pitching the Baltimore Orioles over the Seattle Mariners 6-0 on Wednesday. Means (4-0) struck out 12. Seattle’s Sam Haggerty raced to first after he struck out swinging on a curveball in the dirt on a 1-2 count with one outs in the third inning that bounced away from catcher Pedro Severino. Haggerty wasn’t on base long, getting thrown out attempting to steal second. Means threw 79 strikes among 113 pitches, including first-pitch strikes to 26 of 27 batters. When Seattle did make contact against the 28-year-old left-hander, it was weak and there were no threats to fall in for a hit. Means lowered his ERA to 1.37 and became the first individual Orioles pitcher to toss a no-hitter since Jim Palmer against Oakland on Aug,. 13, 1969. It was the 10th no-hitter in franchise history — six in Baltimore after four as the St. Louis Browns. Means joined a... [More]
