In a transaction that has been a long time coming at this point, the Yankees are getting center fielder Harrison Bader back from the 60-day injured list. The elite defender had been out since June 26th with plantar fasciitis in his right foot and spent the past week rehabbing with the Double-A Somerset Patriots. Bader has been activated, with starter Frankie Montas heading to the IL himself with shoulder inflammation.
The somewhat-false word in that first sentence of the last paragraph was “back,” as Bader had not truly been with the Yankees at all.
