Pauses hitting Bader (thumb) will be withheld from hitting until Monday, Justice delos Santos of The San Jose Mercury News reports.

Impact Bader had been dealing with thumb problems for several days before he aggravated it during Friday's Cactus League game, which led to an early departure. The Giants will help his thumb heal by keeping a bat out of his hands for a few days; meanwhile, Jerar Encarnacion and Will Brennan figure to benefit from a few extra reps in spring training.

Leaves game with thumb injury Bader was removed from Friday's Cactus League game against the Dodgers due to a right thumb contusion, Justice delos Santos of The San Jose Mercury News reports.

Impact Bader was removed from Friday's game after his lone at-bat in the first inning, when he grounded out to second base. It's unclear whether he sustained the injury during that plate appearance, but he will have his thumb evaluated by medical staff to determine the severity of the injury, and the club should provide an update within the next couple of days. Bader signed a two-year, $20.5 million contract with the Giants in January and is expected to serve as the team's starting center fielder, but an extended absence would open the door for Jerar Encarnacion and Will Brennan to see more reps in the outfield.

Goes yard in spring game Bader went 1-for-3 with a three-run home run in Wednesday's 13-12 Cactus League loss to the Brewers.

Impact Bader, who signed a two-year, $20.5 million pact with San Francisco in January, recorded his first home run with the Giants in the fourth inning. The 31-year-old is coming off the best offensive campaign of his career in 2025, during which he slashed .277/.347/.449 with 17 long balls, 54 RBI and 11 stolen bases over 146 regular-season games between the Twins and Phillies. He is expected to take over as the Giants' everyday center fielder this season, pushing Jung Hoo Lee to right field.
