Harrison Bader Out With Groin Injury On Thursday
Harrison Bader (groin) is not in the team's starting lineup for Thursday's series finale against the Baltimore Orioles at Camden Yards. DaShawn Keirsey Jr. is starting in left field and will bat ninth against Orioles right-hander Tomoyuki Sugano. Bader exited in the middle of the third inning in Game 2 of the team's doubleheader on Wednesday against the O's with left-groin tightness, so it's not a big surprise he's out for the matinee game on Thursday. The 30-year-old veteran is being considered day-to-day for now, so check back on Friday to see if he's ready to return for the series opener against the Milwaukee Brewers. Bader was signed by the Twins in the offseason mainly for his glove, but he's contributed nicely at the plate so far, too, slashing .300/.384/.464 with an .848 OPS, four homers, 18 RBI, 16 runs and four steals. Keirsey has never faced Sugano in his career.
