At their preseason press conference, the Mariners revealed Mitch Haniger will miss most or all of Spring Training, and likely not return until mid-to-late April, following core surgery suffered while rehabbing from his ruptured testicle last year.
The Haniger injury stems from the surgery to repair a ruptured testicle last season. A hernia or core injury were possibilities if Haniger pushed too much in his recovery and rehab.

Haniger has a reputation as a hard worker - something typically needed to reach the level of success he’s achieved in baseball.
