San Francisco Giants outfielder Harrison Bader (hamstring) is back in center field and will bat in the two-hole for Tuesday's exhibition game against the Sultanes de Monterrey, according to Susan Slusser of the San Francisco Chronicle. It's the first time that Bader will play in a game this spring since last Friday due to left-hamstring tightness. Barring a setback on Tuesday, the veteran outfielder will be ready to go for Opening night on Wednesday against the visiting New York Yankees. The 31-year-old had a career-best .796 OPS, a .277/.347/.499 slash line, 17 home runs, 54 RBI, 61 runs scored, and 11 stolen bases in 501 plate appearances over 146 games with the Minnesota Twins and Philadelphia Phillies in 2025. But beneath the hood, he had poor exit velocities and hard-hit rates, leading to a .223 expected batting average and a .364 expected slugging percentage. Fantasy managers deploying Bader as outfield depth in 2026 should expect some regression, especially at hitter-friendly Oracle Park.--Keith Hernandez
