Progressing in rehab assignment Bader (ribs) will continue his rehab assignment with Triple-A Memphis on Tuesday, Katie Woo of The Athletic reports.

Impact Bader appeared in three games with Low-A Palm Beach recently, and he'll face increased competition in the near future before he's cleared to return to the majors. The Cardinals are hopeful that the center fielder will be reinstated from the injured list in the near future, but it's not yet clear how many appearances he'll make with the Triple-A club.

Hitting well in rehab assignment Bader (ribs) went a combined 2-for-6 with a double, an RBI, a walk and a run in two weekend rehab games with Low-A Palm Beach.

Impact Bader now has three rehab games under his belt without setbacks. He served as the designated hitter Sunday but played center field in his first two contests, and he could be headed for a step up in competition to Double-A Springfield or Triple-A Memphis before being deemed ready for activation.

Singles in first rehab game Bader (ribs) started in center field and went 1-for-3 in Low-A Palm Beach's win over Fort Myers on Friday.

Impact Bader played five innings before being subbed out, but the fact he got three plate appearances serves as a good foundation for the beginning of his rehab assignment. The 27-year-old has been sidelined since May 25, so he could spend a good portion of the coming week playing in rehab games at different affiliates before activation is deemed appropriate.

Beginning rehab assignment Friday Bader (ribs) will begin a rehab assignment with Low-A Palm Beach on Friday, Jeff Jones of the Belleville News-Democrat reports.

Impact Bader has been on the injured list since late May with a right rib hairline fracture. He resumed baseball activity in mid-June and has now progressed to the point where he feels ready to play in a live game. It's not entirely clear how many games Bader plans to get under his belt in the minors, but a return to the Cardinals within the next week does not seem out of the question.

Nearing rehab assignment Bader (ribs) is expected to begin a rehab assignment soon, Jeff Jones of the Belleville News-Democrat reports.

Impact Bader has been recovering in Florida recently, and he's been taking at-bats and playing center field. Manager Mike Shildt said that the 27-year-old will likely report to a low-level affiliate to begin his rehab stint, so he could require a fairly lengthy assignment since he's been sidelined since May 25. If all goes well, he could return to the Cardinals sometime in early July.
