Summary
Buster Posey said Friday the Giants will withhold Harrison Bader's pay until he can resume services for the club while they investigate his weekend scooter accident.
The crash around 2 a.m. Sunday into the back of a San Francisco fire truck delayed treatment for Bader's plantar fasciitis after the truck's wheel rolled over his foot.
That setback ends Bader's 2026 season; he had already been out since May 29 and finished with a .170 average and five home runs in 39 games.
Bader signed a two-year, $20.5 million deal last offseason, and the incident echoes a 2014 college scooter crash that led to a 19-game suspension.
