Giants Suspend Bader Payments After Scooter Accident

The San Francisco Giants have suspended payments to outfielder Harrison Bader following a scooter accident that aggravated his season-ending plantar fasciitis injury.

The Giants announced the suspension after Bader was involved in an accident over the weekend that delayed his treatment timeline. According to Buster Posey, President of Baseball Operations, the team is investigating the circumstances of the accident.

Despite the suspension, Giants manager Tony Vitello clarified that Bader's season was already over due to his pre-existing foot injury. Bader, who signed a two-year, $20.5 million contract in January, appeared in 30 games before being sidelined, batting .170 with five home runs. The Giants currently sit fourth in the NL West with a 47-62 record. cat-cross.com
