HARRISON BADER NEWS

Rehab assignment coming Friday Bader (oblique) will begin a minor-league rehab assignment Friday, Chris Kirschner of The Athletic reports.

Impact The plan is for Bader to take part in a live batting practice Thursday against Luis Severino (lat) before appearing in a few minor-league games. There are no details on exactly how long his assignment will last, but the 28-year-old outfielder will likely get a chance to make his season debut within a week or two.

Continuing workouts Bader (oblique) went through outfield drills at Yankee Stadium on Thursday, Max Goodman of The Newark Star-Ledger reports.

Impact Bader was working on his throws to third base as he continues to ramp things back up while rehabbing an oblique strain. The hope is that he'll be ready for a rehab assignment by early next week, potentially putting him in line for a return before the end of the month if all goes well.

Continuing ramp-up Bader (oblique) has done some hitting off velocity and will continue to ramp up workouts through the weekend, Gary Phillips of the New York Daily News reports.

Impact Bader could be cleared for a rehab assignment early next week. Given how much time he's missed, he'll probably need a good number of rehab at-bats before being activated, but a return before the end of April looks doable.

Impact Bader has taken "dry swings" in the past week and continues to make positive progress from his left oblique strain. Because of how much time the outfielder has missed -- Bader was diagnosed with the strain on March 10 -- it's likely Bader will need more than a handful of rehab appearances before joining the Yankees. A return to the outfield likely occurs around the end of April if there are no setbacks.

Takes dry swings Bader (oblique) took 25 dry swings Monday, Max Goodman of The Star-Ledger reports.

Impact Yankees manager Aaron Boone said afterward that Bader "was letting it rip and felt great." The center fielder continues to progress well in his recovery from a left oblique strain and should be ready for a rehab assignment before long.

Progressing toward return Bader (oblique) has been swinging in a pool, and he could begin swinging in a cage and throwing within a week, Bryan Hoch of MLB.comd reports.

Impact Bader was diagnosed with a strained oblique March 10, and he's likely still multiple weeks away from a return. However, he's beginning to advance in his recovery, and manager Aaron Boone said Saturday that the outfielder's most recent MRI indicated significant improvement, per Pat Ragazzo of SI.com. Bader will likely take over the starting center field job upon his return. In the meantime, the Yankees have started Aaron Judge there twice and Isiah Kiner-Falefa once in their first three contests.

Hits 10-day IL The Yankees placed Bader (oblique) on the 10-day injured list Thursday.

Impact The transaction is retroactive to Monday, but considering that he didn't play in any Grapefruit League games after March 8 while recovering from a left oblique strain, Bader probably won't be cleared to return from the IL when first eligible April 6. Bader at least seems to be making good progress in his recovery from the injury, as he's expected to resume swinging a bat soon and should steadily incorporate other baseball activities into his training regimen. While Bader is shelved to begin the season, Aaron Judge, Aaron Hicks and Isiah Kiner-Falefa could see more time in center field.

Hoping to swing bat soon Bader (oblique) said Thursday that he's hoping to start swinging a bat "really soon," Gary Phillips of the New York Daily News reports.

Impact Bader didn't offer a specific day when he might be cleared to swing a bat, but he added that he's had "absolutely no setbacks, no pain" with his left oblique. The initial timetable offered when Bader was injured two weeks ago was six weeks, but it's looking like he might make it back a little sooner than that. A mid-April return seems possible.

Doing better than anticipated Yankees manager Aaron Boone told reporters Saturday that Bader (oblique) is doing "better than we anticipated," Bryan Hoch of MLB.com reports.

Impact Bader was diagnosed with an oblique strain last week, and the expectation was that the outfielder would miss approximately six weeks. Based on Boone's comments, it's possible that timeline could be shortened, but it still seems likely Bader will open the year on the injured list. Assuming he continues to recover quickly, it could be a much shorter stay on the IL for the presumed starter in center for the Yankees.

Six-week absence expected Bader's oblique strain is expected to keep him out for approximately six weeks, Erik Boland of Newsday reports.

Impact Bader was sent for tests Thursday after feeling tightness in his left oblique. The given timeline means Bader is all but a lock to begin the year on the injured list and likely won't make his season debut until late April at the earliest. Aaron Judge or Aaron Hicks could slide to center in his absence.
