The Harrison Bader Saga continues.
The Yankee center fielder wins accolades of every kind when he’s on the field, but has struggled to play a full season ever since debuting. He continues to struggle with that, being pulled from Monday’s contest in Seattle with an apparent leg injury.
Credit to Bader, his speed allowed him to beat out an infield single. After coming up lame following the run, though, Bader walked off the field under his own power, jogging down the dugout steps in what’s hopefully an optimistic sign. If nothing else, it appears this injury is not a continuation of the oblique problem that kept him on the IL through the season’s first five weeks.
