Yankees Notebook: Harrison Bader’s return delayed, Carlos Rodon to begin rehab assignment

Published Sat, 08 Mar 2025 23:54:26 GMT

BOSTON — The Yankees initially planned on having Harrison Bader in the lineup for their series opener against the Red Sox on Friday, but the two sides agreed to delay the centerfielder’s return.Bader’s first rehab game at Double-A Somerset went well from a health standpoint — he went 0-for-4 on Wednesday — per Aaron Boone. But Boone said the team and player felt it would be best for Bader to play in one or two more rehab games before coming back from a hamstring strain suffered on May 29.Boone noted that Bader relies heavily on his legs and that hamstrings can be tricky, so the speedster wants to be “100% when patrolling centerfield” and running the bases. Boone said that Bader will play the field in Somerset on Friday and Saturday or Sunday, depending on the weather.Bader would then rejoin the Yankees on their upcoming homestand. Boone expected him to be active Tuesday, but he didn’t rule out Bader returning sooner than that.“We...

The days are getting longer, the weather is (theoretically) getting better, school is winding down and Father’s Day is coming this Sunday. If there’s a time of year to head down to the ballpark, this is it.Oh, and if you want to see the Yankees, it’ll also be your last chance until September.This season MLB switched to a more balanced schedule that features fewer games between division rivals and ensures everyone plays every other club at least once. The change has largely been a net positive, with less disparity between clubs’ strength of schedule and more opportunities for fans to see different teams come to town, but it has also meant traditional rivalry games are less common occurrences, with divisional opponents now playing ...
