- Bader remains in San Francisco’s plans for 2027.
- The Giants are weighing several options for their outfield.

## Summary

The San Francisco Giants and Major League Baseball are expected to issue a joint statement after investigating Harrison Bader’s scooter crash in July, which left him with a broken foot and ended his first season with the team. Giants president of baseball operations Buster Posey said the statement would contain little new detail and is not expected for at least a few weeks.

Bader remains in the Giants’ plans for 2027, when he is owed $13 million under a backloaded two-year, $20.5 million contract. After missing time with plantar fasciitis, he played 30 games last season, batting .170 with a .571 OPS and five home runs; the team suspended his pay for the rest of the season after the crash. Posey said Bader may share centre-field duties with Drew Gilbert, while the Giants consider a fluid, matchup-based role for a crowded outfield group.
