Giants to Suspend Payments to Outfielder Harrison Bader After Scooter Accident

San Francisco placed its outfielder on a payment suspension after he suffered a new foot injury in a scooter collision over the weekend. The incident delayed treatment for an existing plantar fasciitis condition and extended his time on the injured list, which began in late May. The team said Bader will remain on the disabled list for the rest of the season.

"Over the weekend, Harrison Bader was involved in an accident that has delayed Harrison’s prior treatment timeline for plantar fasciitis and, unfortunately, his return to the field," President of baseball operations Buster Posey said in a press release. "We are still investigating the circumstances of the accident, but will be suspending payment to Harrison until he is able to resume performing services for the club."

Police confirmed a person was taken to a hospital after a scooter collided with a fire engine, which then rolled over the player's foot. Bader, who is in the first year of a two-year, $20.5 million contract, is currently earning $4.5 million in salary, with $1.42 million due through the end of the season. No comment has been received from Bader or the MLB Players Association.
