Tuesday BP: Mitch Haniger begins rehab assignment

Not much has gone well for the San Francisco Giants lately. It’s been loss after loss, and self-inflicted wound after self-inflicted wound, most lately culminating in a 4-3 loss to the Miami Marlins after taking an early 3-0 lead and knocking Miami’s dominant starter out early.

But help is on the way.

It’s been no secret that the Giants outfield has been banged up. Mitch Haniger, who figures to be the everyday left fielder, and Austin Slater, the right-handed hitting half of the center field platoon, started the season on the Injured List, where they remain.
