Giants Put Harrison Bader on 10-Day IL, Recall Will Brennan

The move responds to Bader's left plantar fasciitis and gives San Francisco short-term outfield depth while he is sidelined for at least 10 days.

Overview

  • The Giants announced Saturday that outfielder Harrison Bader was placed on the 10-day injured list because of left plantar fasciitis after he left Friday’s game favoring the foot.
  • The IL placement means Bader must be inactive for at least 10 days, a restriction the team expects to use for treatment and to limit his mobility while the foot heals.
  • San Francisco recalled left-handed outfielder Will Brennan from Triple-A Sacramento to fill Bader’s roster spot, marking Brennan’s third call-up of the season.
  • Brennan has limited MLB results (2-for-23 in 11 games) and is likely to see little playing time immediately because Jung Hoo Lee has returned and Casey Schmitt and Drew Gilbert are handling regular outfield starts.
  • Bader’s return to the IL highlights a trade-off the team faces this year: his strong defensive reputation and occasional big moments have not offset a poor offensive stretch and repeated injury interruptions in 2026.
