Out since June 13 with a fractured forearm, Haniger hopes to begin a rehab assignment next week after taking live BP the past two days.
SAN FRANCISCO — One of the draws for Mitch Haniger when he signed with the Giants this past winter was the chance to play for his hometown team.That should change soon, as Haniger said Tuesday the goal is to begin a rehab assignment next week. He won’t accompany the team on its upcoming six-game swing to the East Coast, but could be ready to play his first game since June 13 not long after they get back.
The Giants will play their 121st game of the season when they open their road trip Friday in Atlanta, and the two free agent outfielders they invested $79.5 million in this past winter have shared the lineup 31 times. Wilmer Flores, Haniger’s locker neighbor, understands the difficulty of getting hurt soon after joining a new team. He signed with the Diamondbacks in 2019 and fractured his foot in May, knocking him out for two months.
But he’s come away impressed with his experience, even while dealing with the familiar drum beat of rehabilitation.
