He made his MLB debut in 2017 and played for five years before the New York Yankees signed him in August 2022.Bader has been a strong performer for them since then. However, he suffered a left oblique muscle injury early in spring training, which caused him to miss the first month of the 2023 season.This season, the Yankees find themselves in a tight spot with a long list of injuries to crucial players. One of the most problematic areas for them has been left field, with Aaron Hicks forced to play there but unable to deliver the expected results.Hence, fans were desperate for injured players to return from injury and bolster the team's defense in the outfield. All hopes rested on Harrison Bader, the young, quick fielder who had all the attributes the Yankees were missing on defense. However, his second injury of the season has dampened fans' spirits.While the New York Yankees won the game on Wednesday night, it did not feel like a win, as they lost two crucial players to injury: Bader and Oswald Peraza.While the extent of Bader's injury is still unclear, it has dampened hopes for a fightback in the MLB. Only time will tell how bad the injury is and the timeframe for his return.
