New York Yankees Lose Harrison Bader to Another Injury
Here we go again.
Center fielder Harrison Bader exited the New York Yankees' matchup with the Seattle Mariners due to right hamstring tightness.
Bader hurt his hamstring in the top of the third inning when he was hustling down the first base line to beat out an infield single. The 28-year-old appeared to have pulled up lame and was then seen jogging off the field and down the clubhouse steps. He was swiftly removed for a pinch runner in Greg Allen.
Unfortunately, Monday night's incident is just the latest example that shows Bader cannot stay on the field. Health problems have been an issue his entire career, and things haven't changed since he has become a Yankee.
As productive as Bader is when he's on the field, he has trouble staying on it. Bader missed most of Spring Training and the first month of the regular season due to an oblique strain.
The hope is that Bader's hamstring issue is nothing more than tightness, and that he can avoid a stint on the injured list. Regardless, his latest injury has to be frustrating for both the player and team.
