SAN DIEGO \u2014 New details have emerged about Giants outfielder Harrison Bader\u2019s scooter collision<\/a> over the weekend that further injured his left foot, which he was already rehabbing.<\/p>\n

The San Francisco Police Department responded Thursday to an inquiry by this news organization, and while Bader was not specifically named, SFPD detailed that officers responded to a vehicle collision involving a scooter in the Marina District near Fillmore and Lombard streets at approximately 2:04 a.m. on Sunday.<\/p>\n

A person involved in the collision was being treated for injuries on-scene and later transported to a local hospital for non-life-threatening injuries. There were no other reported injuries at the time.<\/p>\n

Bader\u2019s collision happened a day before he flew to Indianapolis to meet with a foot and ankle specialist and address the left plantar fasciitis that has kept him off the field since May 29. He had recently stopped baseball activities due to continued soreness.<\/p>\n

The 32-year-old still flew to Indianapolis, but the Giants announced that the meeting was \u201ccomplicated\u201d by the crash. Bader then returned to San Francisco and was examined by Dr. Kenneth Akizuki.<\/p>\n

Manager Tony Vitello said on Thursday that he wouldn\u2019t \u201crule any of that out\u201d when asked if there would be any potential discipline depending on the details. Vitello added that it \u201cwouldn\u2019t be up to me.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Giants have yet to definitively announce whether Bader will be out for the remainder of the season, but Vitello said that Bader\u2019s return \u201cwould have been a long shot to begin with.\u201d<\/p>\n

Before the Giants\u2019 game Monday against Milwaukee, Vitello said he thought Bader would play again this season. The team did not announce Bader\u2019s crash until Tuesday.<\/p>\n

Bader has only played in 30 games with the Giants after signing a two-year, $20.5 million deal to join the club in the offseason. Bader is hitting .170 with five home runs this season. He missed a month early in the season due to a hamstring strain, then landed on the injured list again in late May with the plantar fasciitis.<\/p>\n

This is not the first time that Bader has been involved in a scooter collision. In 2014, Bader was suspended for 19 games by the University of Florida\u2019s baseball team after hitting a curb while on a scooter and hitting a truck. According to an incident report by the Gainesville Police Department, Bader smelled of alcohol after that collision.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"SAN DIEGO \u2014 New details have emerged about Giants outfielder Harrison Bader\u2019s scooter collision over the weekend that…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":419161,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[30],"tags":[2135,402,1334,100,101,4820,103,102,104,106,105,94685,127],"class_list":["post-419160","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-san-francisco","tag-baseball","tag-inside-sports","tag-mlb","tag-news","tag-san-francisco","tag-san-francisco-giants","tag-san-francisco-headlines","tag-san-francisco-news","tag-sf","tag-sf-headlines","tag-sf-news","tag-social-alert","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/419160","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=419160"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/419160\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/419161"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=419160"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=419160"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=419160"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
