Harrison Bader injures foot in scooter accident, violates Giants contract
Summary

Harrison Bader of the San Francisco Giants reportedly exacerbated a foot injury in a scooter accident early Sunday morning, just months after signing a two-year, $20 million deal. The incident occurred after Bader was seen drinking at bars in San Francisco, and witnesses confirmed his scooter crash into a fire truck. The Giants confirmed that Bader violated his contract due to the injury, pausing his pay until he can prove his health. Bader's injury history has raised concerns since his brief stint with the Philadelphia Phillies last season, where he provided an offensive and defensive boost but was sidelined during a key playoff series.
