Mitch Haniger Undergoes Forearm Surgery, Expected To Miss 10 Weeks

By Anthony Franco | June 16, 2023 at 7:44pm CDT

Giants outfielder Mitch Haniger underwent surgery to repair a fractured ulna in his right arm, the club informed reporters (including Andrew Baggarly of the Athletic). The team estimated his return to play at ten weeks.

Haniger could make it back to Oracle Park in September. That it’s not a season-ending injury is the only silver lining to another brutal stroke of injury luck. Haniger lost a couple months last season to a high ankle sprain and had his entire 2020 campaign wiped out by core surgeries after fouling a ball off his groin. He opened this season on the injured list with an oblique strain and played only 40 games before breaking his arm on a Jack Flaherty pitch on Tuesday.

San Francisco placed Haniger on the 10-day IL on Wednesday. He’ll get moved to the 60-day IL once the club needs a spot on the 40-man roster. The Giants promoted Luis Matos to make his MLB debut with Haniger out, pushing Mike Yastrzemski from center field to a corner.

Haniger is in the first season of a three-year, $43.5MM deal. He has struggled over 160 trips to the plate, hitting .230/.281/.372 with four home runs while walking at a career-low 5.6% rate.

    I may be all over the place today, but I find this quote to be quite fitting. Just replace sword with arm.

    “Choose the sword, and you will join me
    Choose the ball, and you join your mother, in death
    You don’t understand my words, but you must choose
    So, come boy, choose life or death”

        Because of my love of film and Kung Fu? Your opinion is as antiquated as the oregano you JUST smoked.

      I can’t blame San Fran with him tho. He really is injury prone in a true sense. Dude just as unbelievably bad luck. Guy has talent and works hard, I was glad to see a team take a chance in him. Really unfortunate that he got derailed by yet another freak injury.

    It looked like his arm bent a little bit when the pitch hit it. Knew it was bad as soon as it happened.

    Remember when the Mariners were idiots for letting him leave? He’s a great teammate and leader, but you can’t count on him because of his injuries.

    Suspend Jack Flaherty immediately for the length of time that Haniger is out.
    JUSTICE !!

    Tough break for Mitch, one of baseball’s truly good guys. However, I’m excited to see what Luis Matos can do as the Giants everyday CF. Been a while since SF has had a glove that good in CF. Might have to go back to Garry Maddox.

    Not sure what SF will get out of Matos’ bat. I’m skeptical of numbers posted in the California League and the PCL.

    Still, Matos looks like a guy who could be the Giants CF for the next ten years. Wish him well.

    As an aside, I think the NL West is gonna be a dogfight all the way into September, and unlike others, I don’t discount the Giants chances to win the NL West. I see flaws with the Dodgers, Padres and D-Backs. I expect all four to be active at the trade deadline.

    Finally, when are the Giants gonna promote Harrison? Wood is always hurt, and I’m not expecting much from Stripling when he returns.
