The Yankees sent pitcher Jordan Montgomery to the Cardinals in return for center fielder Harrison Bader on Tuesday, per ESPN’s Jeff Passan.
This will be the first time both players have been on the move, as both have played the entirety of their MLB careers with one club.
Bader is currently on the injured list with plantar fasciitis, which is an inflamed tissue in his heel. He was put on the IL back on June 27. The 28-year-old remains out for several weeks with a walking boot on and is expected to return before the end of the season, the Cardinals said.
