The New York Yankees have been surviving in the outfield without star defensive centerfielder Harrison Bader, rotating Aaron Judge, and a few other supplementary options to start the season.
Isiah Kiner-Falefa and Aaron Hicks have both experienced opportunities in CF, but once Bader eventually returns, those reps will be far and few in between.
The Yankees could use Harrison Bader’s services right about now:
Bader has been dealing with an oblique strain that has kept him out for several weeks, but he’s ramping up his rehab process and expects to participate in a rehab assignment next week.
