Harrison Bader Stats

St. Louis Cardinals outfielder Harrison Bader (ribs) will be out a while longer while dealing with a hairline fracture in his rib, according to Zachary Silver of MLB.com. Manager Mike Shildt said that Bader was "going to be a bit longer than we anticipated," adding that Bader is still not feeling well enough from the rib fracture to ramp up baseball activities, and that the longer it takes him to start back up, the longer his rehab will be. Bader has been out since May 26 after suffering a fractured rib while making a diving catch against the White Sox. Over 22 games this season, Bader was slashing .219/.301/.411 with four home runs, three steals, nine RBI and eight runs scored. Managers can go ahead and continue to stash him on the IL, but if you're facing a roster crunch, Bader is a safe option to drop in most formats.

The St. Louis Cardinals have placed outfielder Harrison Bader (rib) on the injured list due to a hairline fracture on one of his ribs. Bader suffered the injury in the third inning of Monday's game against the Chicago White Sox when he attempted to make a diving catch. The team recalled outfielder John Nogowski to take Bader's roster spot. This is Bader's second trip to the injured list this year. He began the season on the injured list due to a forearm injury. Bader has shown some promising signs this year. He's cut his strikeout rate down to 15.7% and he has four home runs and three stolen bases over 22 games. He's worth keeping an eye on for fantasy managers in deep leagues, though he can be universally dropped by fantasy managers without an IL spot to spare at this point.

St. Louis Cardinals outfielder Harrison Bader (rib) was removed from Monday's game against the Chicago White Sox. Bader almost made a fantastic catch early in the game, but suffered a possible rib injury in the process. Justin Williams came into the game for Bader, but it's uncertain what is exactly wrong with Bader. The team should provide updates on Bader following the game. Bader hasn't exactly been much of a fantasy asset this season, but the Cards don't have much reliable depth. Bader is at worst a deep league option.
