Mariners right fielder Mitch Haniger could be ready to start a rehab assignment next week in his recovery from getting hit in the face by a pitch. Right-hander Hisashi Iwakuma is lined up for a key test on his shoulder in a bullpen workout.

Here, again, the Mariners showed Saturday afternoon why they remain a threat to mount a postseason push over the the season’s final two months after four months of tedium. They are resilient.

“Strained oblique” are two of the cruelest words in baseball. It is an injury that rarely permits a quick recovery and typically forces the player to miss at least a month and often longer.

Seattle Mariners outfielder Mitch Haniger sports a robust 1.029 on-base plus slugging through 16 games and 62 at-bats thus far this season.

Mariners close out a 6-3 homestand by backing a wobbly Felix Hernandez with an 11-hit attack that includes four RBIs apiece from Mitch Haniger and Kyle Seager. All that and a (perhaps) fitting goodbye from Ichiro Suzuki.
