New York Yankees outfielder Harrison Bader was reinstated from the 10-day injured list on Tuesday.
The move comes one day after the Yankees placed reigning American League MVP and fellow outfielder Aaron Judge on the injured list with an ailing hip.
Bader, 28, began the season on the IL while nursing a strained left oblique. He was injured during an at-bat in spring training on March 8 against his former team, the St. Louis Cardinals.
Bader was acquired from the Cardinals at the trade deadline last summer after struggling with plantar fasciitis in 2022. He played in 14 regular-season games with the Yankees, reaching base 12 times with 10 hits in 46 at-bats.
A Gold Glove recipient in 2021, Bader is a career .245 hitter with 52 homers and 177 RBIs in 537 games with the Cardinals and Yankees.
The Yankees also optioned infielder/outfielder Franchy Cordero to Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre following their 3-2 loss to the Cleveland Guardians on Monday.
