Just over a week away from Opening Day in Cincinnati, the Cardinals announced on Wednesday that Harrison Bader will open the season on the injured list and miss at least four weeks as he deals with a ‘flare up’ of a right forearm injury.
Harrison Bader will not start the season on the Cardinals' active roster, manager Mike Shildt said. Forearm flared up again, will be on the IL. Forecast of about 4 weeks; got a PRP injection today. #STLCards
