Since he has missed so much time, the team wants to give him an influx of at-bats. They want to make sure Bader is ready when he rejoins the team.The last thing the team wants to do is rush him out there before he's completely healthy. They also don't want to risk running him out there when he's rusty.

They've had to employ utility guys like Isiah Kiner-Falefa in the outfield, who have little experience playing the position.New York Yankees need Harrison Bader back ASAPAL Championship Series: Houston Astros vs. New York YankeesHarrison Bader was among the most important players on the Yankees' playoff roster last season. He was on absolute fire, especially at the plate. In the ALDS against the Cleveland Guardians, he hit three home runs. In the ALCS against the Houston Astros, he hit two home runs.Not only was he an important player during the postseason, but he also takes pressure off the other guys to perform. With Bader in the lineup, the team doesn't have to worry about putting Aaron Judge in center field. They can move him to the corner, where he can focus more on his hitting.Bader also possesses a fantastic glove in the outfield. He hasn't committed a single error since 2021. He has racked up a .988 fielding percentage in his six seasons in the league.Expect the Yankees to turn the page when Bader returns with the team.
