The Phillies pulled outfielder Harrison Bader Van Game 1 of the NLDs against the Dodgers tonight because of what was first described by the team, has the tightness of the hamstring, but manager Rob Thomson later passed on to reporters (including Charlotte Varnes of athletics) that the problem was actually tight. Bader himself later spoke with reporters (including Tim Kelly Van Op Pattison) And revealed that he would undergo imaging to determine the extent of his injury.
Although the situation may take care of, Bader is currently considered as a daily day and pronounced trust that he will return to the Phillies line-up during this series. He noted that he will rest during the day off tomorrow and “Go from there,” That playing in the late season is the time when you “Empty the tank”, Suggest a willingness to try to play an injury that would otherwise be at another point in the season. That is certainly encouraging for Phillies fans to hear the rise of Bader as an important part of the team in recent weeks.
Acquired of the twins at the Handelsdeadline in July, Bader had already enjoyed a solid season with the twins, but kicked things to a different gear when he arrived in Philadephia. In 50 games with the Phillies, Bader .305/.361/.463 hit five home runs, eleven doubles and a triple travel to the record in 194 while he serves as the regular midfielder of the team. He also did his part defensively, with +1 field value in the mid -this year despite playing the outfield corners exclusively in Minnesota. Bader has long been a renowned midfielder in the Majors, but was pushed into a corner with the twins because of the presence of a healthy Byron Buxton In the line -up of the club.
The addition of Bader to the deadline helped stabilize the Phillies on both sides of the ball. Nick Castellanos Struggled this year poorly, with under -average attacking figures that in combination with his typical matte glove in the outfield to make him a player at below replacement level. Max Kepler And Johan Rojas Also had disappointing seasons itself, so Bader stood side by side Brandon Marsh To create some more production for the Phillies on both attacking and defensive. There are few deadline additives more impactful for their club, and it would be devastating for the club to go without a bader during a heavy matchup against the Dodgers this week, especially after dropping game 1 of the series at home earlier this evening.
If Bader Game 2 would miss on Monday, an outfield with Marsh in the middle would seem to be the most likely outcome by Kepler in the left and Castellanos on the right Weston Wilson Also on the Roster as a potential right -handed addition to Kepler. In a sausage case scenario where Bader had to be completely removed from the club’s roster, the Phillies would have the option to place it on the injured list and replace it on the Roster. However, this would mean that Bader would miss the entire NLCs and only be eligible to return this year if the Phillies made it all the way to the World Series. Needless to say, that is a situation that the Phillies will certainly hope to avoid.
