Also heading back to Sacramento was catcher Logan Porter, who was in San Francisco for two days after Patrick Bailey was traded.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Bader, who went on the injured list with a hamstring strain April 15, \u00a0hit .222 with two homers in six games and 18 at-bats with the River Cats. He was batting .115 with a home run in 15 games with San Francisco.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0\u201cThere\u2019s a sole reason why I couldn\u2019t perform,\u201d Bader said before Monday\u2019s game.\u00a0\u201cSo we just addressed it in this time period and I\u2019m excited to be back.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0\u201cIt\u2019s been a weird start, so I\u2019m excited to have a kind of a fresh slate, if you will, and go out there and help the team win.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>With\u00a0Bader out, Drew Gilbert and Jung\u00a0Hoo Lee both got time in center. Lee is the primary right fielder, however, and Bader and Gilbert could both see time in center should Gilbert remain on the roster.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI think\u00a0Bader struggled to find himself early in the year because he wasn\u2019t himself physically, literally,\u201d manager Tony Vitello said, \u201cThen Drew has done well for us in some bright spots, but it\u2019s a very small number of games he\u2019s played in his career. So we\u2019re still looking to kind of find out what we\u2019ve got with both those guys, I don\u2019t mind saying that.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>San Francisco must make at least one more roster move this week, when catcher Daniel\u00a0Susac (shoulder) returns from the IL, and Gilbert or third catcher Eric Haase, the team\u2019s only catcher with extensive big-league experience, are the two most obvious candidates to come off the roster at that point.<\/p>\n<p>Haase would have to be designated for assignment and go through waivers; he cleared earlier this year, but veteran catchers often are in demand.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Bader was in the lineup batting eighth at Dodger Stadium on Monday, with Lee in right and leading off.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Beck, who spent portions of the previous three seasons with the Giants, had a 5.40 ERA in 13 games at Sacramento, with opponents batting .294 against him.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The Giants used six relievers in Sunday\u2019s game and five Saturday\u00a0\u2014 plus infielder Christian Koss in the ninth\u00a0\u2014 and they don\u2019t have a day off until May 21.\u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Dylan Smith, called up just one day earlier, went back to Triple-A Sacramento after getting two outs in&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":311647,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[30],"tags":[74527,101,4820,103,102,104,106,105,127,69959],"class_list":["post-311646","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-san-francisco","tag-harrison-bader","tag-san-francisco","tag-san-francisco-giants","tag-san-francisco-headlines","tag-san-francisco-news","tag-sf","tag-sf-headlines","tag-sf-news","tag-sports","tag-tristan-beck"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/311646","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=311646"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/311646\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/311647"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=311646"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=311646"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=311646"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
