HARRISON BADER NEWS

Reinstated from 10-day IL Bader (ribs) was reinstated from the 10-day injured list Thursday.

Impact Bader landed on the 10-day injured list with a right rib hairline fracture in late May but appeared in four games during his recent rehab assignment. He'll now return to action after his absence of just over a month, and he should immediately take over as the primary center fielder going forward. Lars Nootbaar was optioned to Triple-A Memphis in a corresponding move.

Singles in first rehab game Bader (ribs) started in center field and went 1-for-3 in Low-A Palm Beach's win over Fort Myers on Friday.

Impact Bader played five innings before being subbed out, but the fact he got three plate appearances serves as a good foundation for the beginning of his rehab assignment. The 27-year-old has been sidelined since May 25, so he could spend a good portion of the coming week playing in rehab games at different affiliates before activation is deemed appropriate.

He resumed baseball activity in mid-June and has now progressed to the point where he feels ready to play in a live game.

Nearing rehab assignment Bader (ribs) is expected to begin a rehab assignment soon, Jeff Jones of the Belleville News-Democrat reports.

Impact Bader has been recovering in Florida recently, and he's been taking at-bats and playing center field. Manager Mike Shildt said that the 27-year-old will likely report to a low-level affiliate to begin his rehab stint, so he could require a fairly lengthy assignment since he's been sidelined since May 25. If all goes well, he could return to the Cardinals sometime in early July.
