Giants Suspend Bader Payments Amid Scooter Investigation

The Giants announced the suspension on Thursday, stating they are still investigating the circumstances of the accident that delayed Bader's treatment timeline for plantar fasciitis.

Bader, who signed a two-year, $20.5 million contract with the Giants in January, has been sidelined since May 29 with plantar fasciitis in his left foot. The injury was further aggravated during the scooter accident. Despite the suspension, Giants manager Tony Vitello clarified that Bader's season was already over due to his pre-existing foot injury. Bader appeared in 30 games this season, batting .170 with five home runs, as the Giants sit fourth in the NL West with a 47-62 record.
