Yanks' Harrison Bader has strained oblique, Opening Day status in doubt

The New York Yankees' injury woes continued when manager Aaron Boone announced Friday morning that center fielder Harrison Bader was diagnosed with a left oblique strain.

Bader was sent for testing after feeling discomfort on his left side during his last at-bat against his former team, the St. Louis Cardinals, on Wednesday.

"Yeah, was on that last swing I took in my second at-bat," Bader said Saturday. "Just super awkward, kind of felt a little rushed in there and took an awkward swing on a bad pitch because it felt a little rushed.
