officers were called to the city\u2019s Marina District<\/a> near Fillmore and Lombard streets just after 2 a.m. Sunday, where a collision involving a scooter had occurred. Police said one person was being treated for non-life-threatening injuries at the scene and was transported to a hospital for treatment. The police did not name Bader specifically.<\/p>\nFire department officials have not responded to a request for comment from this news organization.<\/p>\n
Bader\u2019s collision happened a day before he flew to Indianapolis on Monday to meet with a foot and ankle specialist and address the left plantar fasciitis that has kept him off the field since May 29. The team announced last week that Bader stopped baseball activities due to continued soreness.<\/p>\n
Due to the accident, however, Bader\u2019s meeting with the specialist was \u201ccomplicated,\u201d according to the Giants. Bader then flew back to San Francisco and was examined by Dr. Ken Akizuki.<\/p>\n
Bader has not spoken with reporters since the accident.<\/p>\n
It remains to be seen whether the Giants will attempt to void the remainder of Bader\u2019s contract. According to Major League Baseball\u2019s collective bargaining agreement, players are not to engage in \u201cskiing, auto racing, motorcycle racing, sky diving\u201d without \u201cthe written consent of the Club.\u201d<\/p>\n
San Francisco has not officially announced that Bader will be out for the remainder of the season, but manager Tony Vitello said on Thursday that Bader\u2019s return \u201cwould have been a long shot to begin with.\u201d On Monday, however, Vitello said he thought Bader would play again this year (the team did not announce Bader\u2019s crash until Tuesday).<\/p>\n
The 32-year-old outfielder has played just 30 games with the Giants after signing a two-year, $20.5 million deal in the offseason, hitting just .170 with five home runs. He missed a month early in the season due to a hamstring strain, then landed on the injured list again in late May with plantar fasciitis.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"SAN DIEGO \u2014 Giants president of baseball operations Buster Posey said in a statement Friday that the team…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":421205,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[30],"tags":[2135,402,181,1334,101,4820,103,102,104,106,105,127],"class_list":["post-421204","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-san-francisco","tag-baseball","tag-inside-sports","tag-latest-headlines","tag-mlb","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"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/421204","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=421204"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/421204\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/421205"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=421204"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=421204"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=421204"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
