The Seattle Mariners have welcomed back Sam Haggerty to the bench after a brief injury-related absence for Ty France. Haggerty rejoined the team after France was placed on the 10-day injured list due to a right elbow strain.
Haggerty, a 25-year-old utility player, was originally acquired by the Mariners in a trade with the Cleveland Indians in December of 2019. He made his major league debut with the Mariners in 2020 and has since become an important part of the team’s roster. He has played multiple positions, including second base, third base, and shortstop.
Haggerty’s return to the bench is a welcome addition for the Mariners, as France’s absence left them with only three infielders. Haggerty provides the team with much-needed depth and versatility in the infield. He has also been a reliable source of offense for the team, batting .273 with two home runs and 11 RBIs in 25 games this season.
Haggerty’s return to the bench is a great sign for the Mariners, as it shows that they are committed to putting the best possible team on the field. With Haggerty back in the lineup, the team can continue to compete for a playoff spot in the American League West.
The Mariners will be hoping that Haggerty can continue to provide a spark for their offense and help them make a run at the postseason. With his return to the bench, the team is now in a much better position to make a push for the playoffs.
