The Giants<\/a> played most of the season without Harrison Bader<\/a>, as he has been out of action since May 29.<\/p>\n

Following the season, they announced the latest update on Bader.<\/p>\n

MLB.com wrote<\/a> (on September 29): \u201cWill work on his running and baseball progressions over the offseason and is expected to be fully ready by Spring Training.\u201d<\/p>\n

Bader finished the 2026 regular season batting .170 with 18 hits, five home runs, 14 RBIs and 10 runs in 30 games.<\/p>\n

He signed with San Francisco as a free agent (before the season).<\/p>\n

Bader was picked in the 3rd round of the 2015 MLB Draft.<\/p>\n

Before the Giants<\/a>, he spent time with the St. Louis Cardinals<\/a>, New York Yankees<\/a>, New York Mets<\/a>, Minnesota Twins<\/a>, Philadelphia Phillies and Cincinnati Reds<\/a> over 10 total seasons at the MLB level.<\/p>\n

During the 2021 season (with the Cardinals<\/a>), Bader won a Gold Glove Award.<\/p>\n

Posey says Bader investigation is ongoing and everyone is disappointed including Bader. He remains under contract for next year.<\/p>\n

The Giants<\/a> came into the 2026 season with a high-profile roster full of veterans.<\/p>\n

That said, they had a very challenging year (and dealt with injuries).<\/p>\n

During the middle of the season, the Giants traded away several veterans.<\/p>\n

Alex Pavlovic of NBC Sports Bay Area wrote<\/a> (on September 29): \u201cThe Giants just put out the longest medical report of all time. The summary: Basically everyone who got hurt will be ready whenever spring training starts (other than the TJ group)\u201d<\/p>\n

The Giants finished the year as the fourth-place team in the National League West with a 65-97 record.<\/p>\n

They last made the MLB playoffs in 2021 when Buster Posey was still playing.<\/p>\n
