Yankees hope Harrison Bader will join them before the end of the regular season. Baders had a pregame workout in the outfield at Yankee Stadium on Monday. He is expected to start a rehab next Tuesday.
Bader is recovering from plantar fasciitis in his right foot. He was acquired by the Yankees from the Cardinals at the MLB trade deadline. Bader wants to play before the playoffs. The 28-year-old is a Gold Glove-winning outfielder and Bronx native.
