"Bader has started his Giants tenure with a .115/.145/.192 batting line and a glaring 30.9% strikeout rate in 55 turns at the plate."
"Bader's chase rate on balls off the plate is up six percentage points this year, while his contact rate on balls within the strike zone is down more than three percentage points."
"If it's a lengthy enough stay on the IL, he could require a minor league rehab stint."
"Lee hasn't graded out well in his time as a center fielder in the majors - which was surely part of the Giants' motivation in signing Bader."
Harrison Bader and Jared Oliva have been placed on the 10-day injured list due to a hamstring strain and a hamate fracture, respectively. Bader's injury is retroactive to April 12. He has struggled offensively with a .115 batting average and a 30.9% strikeout rate. The Giants have recalled Will Brennan and Drew Gilbert from Triple-A to fill their spots. Bader's performance has declined significantly, raising concerns about his ability to contribute effectively upon return.
