NEW YORK -- Gold Glove-winning center fielder Harrison Bader played in his first game in pinstripes Tuesday night.
Tuesday's game against the Pittsburgh Pirates was Bader's first major league game since he was acquired by the New York Yankees from the St. Louis Cardinals during the Aug. 2 trade deadline.
Bader, a native New Yorker who grew up near Yankee Stadium, had been on the 60-day injured list with plantar fasciitis in his right foot. Bader last played in a game for St. Louis back on June 26. Bader batted seventh and played center field against the Pirates.
