It appeared to me, at least, that Harrison Bader winced a bit while making a catch at the wall in CF on Saturday night against the New York Mets. He was still in the starting lineup for the Cincinnati Reds on Sunday, however, giving intial hope that what I thought I’d seen was merely an overreaction on my part.
Perhaps that under-overreaction was ill-conceived after all.
The Cincinnati Reds placed Bader on the injured list today with a strained groin as part of a series of roster moves, and with only 11 games remaining left on their regular season plate, there’s a chance we’ve seen the last of Bader in a Reds uniform for good.
