Hitting bench amid slump
Bader is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Orioles, Susan Slusser of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.
Analysis
Jung Hoo Lee will slide over from his usual spot in right field to cover center field in place of Bader, who will sit for the second time in four games. Bader's absence from the lineup comes while he's gotten off to a sluggish start at the plate during his first season in San Francisco; he's slashing just .115/.145/.192 with one home run, zero steals, three RBI and four runs across 55 plate appearances.

Sitting Tuesday
Bader isn't in the lineup Tuesday versus Philadelphia.
Analysis
Bader has not hit well to begin 2026 and will get an opportunity to reset on the bench Tuesday. The outfielder has gone hitless in the majority of the games played so far and has yet to have a multi-hit game. Jared Oliva has the start in center field and is batting ninth in Bader's absence.
