Harrison Bader was already on the injured list with a left foot injury before he sustained additional injuries to the foot while riding a scooter.
SAN DIEGO — More than four days after Harrison Bader sustained injuries in a scooter crash in the predawn hours Sunday, the San Francisco Giants have not provided additional details about the incident, nor has the team given any public update on the condition of the 32-year-old outfielder.
That’s because club officials are continuing to gather the facts. And indications are that Bader has been less than forthcoming with them.
More details about the crash emerged Thursday, when SFist reported that it occurred around 1:50 a.m. Sunday — as bars in the Cow Hollow area of San Francisco were closing — in the vicinity of Balboa Cafe at Greenwich and Fillmore streets. The online publication cited a witness, who saw Bader’s scooter collide with the back of a San Francisco Fire Department fire engine. The wheel of the truck “rolled over his foot, causing major injury,” the report stated.
Bader, who signed a two-year, $20.5 million contract in January, has been a disappointment for the Giants. He dealt with injuries in spring training and batted .170 in 30 games before missing time with a strained oblique and a left foot ailment that the team described as plantar fasciitis. Bader hasn’t played since May 29 because of the foot injury, and prior to the accident, he had been scheduled to see a foot and ankle specialist in Indianapolis on Monday.
