Twins' Harrison Bader: First three-hit effort this season
Bader went 3-for-4 with an RBI, a run scored and a stolen base Tuesday against the Mets.
The speedy outfielder drove in a go-ahead run on a ground ball in the fourth inning, pushing Minnesota on top 3-2. Matt Wallner (hamstring) had to exit Tuesday's game, and Bader is a candidate for additional at-bats until the former is healthy. Bader could be a sneaky source of power and speed for fantasy managers in a more consistent role, as he's batting .255 with three home runs, 11 RBI, four runs scored and one stolen base through 47 at-bats to begin the season.

Twins' Harrison Bader: Sitting Monday
Bader is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Mets.
Bader will head to the bench after going 0-for-13 at the dish over his last four starts. With Bader out of the lineup, Trevor Larnach will fill in as the Twins' starting left fielder, opening up the designated-hitter spot for Edouard Julien.

Twins' Harrison Bader: Drives in lone run Tuesday
Bader went 1-for-3 with an RBI single in Tuesday's 2-1 loss to the Royals.
Bader was responsible for the Twins' lone run Tuesday, when his single in the fifth inning brought Ty France across home plate to tie things up at 1-1. Bader has logged a hit in three straight games and has gone 5-for-11 with one walk and two RBI over that span.

Twins' Harrison Bader: Ices game as pinch hitter
Bader went 1-for-1 with a three-run homer in a win over the White Sox on Tuesday.

Twins' Harrison Bader: Homers in Minnesota debut
Bader went 2-for-4 with a double and a two-run home run in Thursday's loss against the Cardinals.
Bader appeared ticketed for fourth-outfielder duties with the Twins heading into spring training, but he seems to be a beneficiary of the injuries to infielders Royce Lewis (hamstring) and Brooks Lee (back). With Lewis and Lee on the injured list, Jose Miranda is expected to see the majority of the starts at third base to begin the season, making corner outfielders Trevor Larnach and Matt Wallner candidates to see more time at designated hitter and thereby opening up a spot in the outfield for Bader. His performance Thursday should also help keep him the lineup in the short term until Lee or Lewis return.

Twins' Harrison Bader: Draws Opening Day start
Bader will start in left field and bat ninth in Thursday's season opener versus the Cardinals.
Bader appeared ticketed for fourth-outfielder duties with the Twins heading into spring training, but he seems to be a beneficiary of the injuries to infielders Royce Lewis (hamstring) and Brooks Lee (back). With Lewis and Lee on the injured list, Jose Miranda is expected to see the majority of the starts at third base to begin the season, making corner outfielders Trevor Larnach and Matt Wallner candidates to see more time at designated hitter and thereby opening up a spot in the outfield for Bader. The 30-year-old brings most of his real-life value as a defender, but he proved to be a decent fantasy asset in 2024 despite often hitting at the bottom of the Mets' batting order. In 143 games last season, Bader totaled 12 home runs, 17 steals, 57 runs and 51 RBI.

Twins' Harrison Bader: Will see significant run in LF
Bader is expected to see a "significant amount of playing time" in left field for the Twins this season, Dan Hayes of The Athletic reports.
Bader's best asset is his defense in center field, which is where each of his last 651 regular-season appearances have come. However, as long as he's healthy, Byron Buxton is slated to handle the bulk of the playing time in center field. Trevor Larnach is projected to start in left field against right-handers, but he could yield to Bader regularly versus lefties.

Twins' Harrison Bader: One-year deal with Minnesota
The Twins signed Bader to a one-year contract Wednesday that includes an mutual option for 2026, Jon Heyman of the New York Post reports.
He'll be guaranteed $6.25 million, with up to $2 million more available in incentives, per Dan Hayes and Ken Rosenthal of The Athletic. The Twins have an injury-prone center fielder in Byron Buxton and two left-handed-hitting corner outfielders in Trevor Larnach and Matt Wallner, so the right-handed-hitting Bader makes sense as an active fourth outfielder. Bader has a career .776 OPS against left-handed pitching and much of his playing time could come versus southpaws, provided Buxton is able to stay healthy.

He then logged an at-bat in the ninth and singled before stealing second base and subsequently scoring again. With Bader entering the lineup Sunday, Tyrone Taylor will begin the game on the bench.

Mets' Harrison Bader: Drawing start in first game
Bader will start in center field and bat ninth in the first game of Monday's doubleheader versus Atlanta, Tim Healey of Newsday reports.
Bader had not started the last six games against right-handed pitching, but he's getting the call for this one versus righty Spencer Schwellenbach. Tyrone Taylor is handling right field and Starling Marte will begin the contest on the bench.

Mets' Harrison Bader: Retreats to bench
Bader is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Nationals.
Even though Starling Marte (forearm) is on the bench for the second day in a row, the Mets won't make room in the outfield for Bader, who had started in center field in each of the previous four contests. Instead, Tyrone Taylor will get the starting nod in center after he went 1-for-3 with a solo home run in Sunday's 2-1 loss to Philadelphia.

Mets' Harrison Bader: Double, home run in win
Bader went 2-for-4 with a three-run homer, a double and an additional run scored in Friday's 11-3 win over the Phillies.
Bader laced a two-out double off Max Lazar in the sixth inning before putting the game to bed with a three-run homer off Tyler Gilbert in the eighth, his 12th long ball of the year. Bader had gone just 3-for-24 with no extra-base hits in 12 games prior to Friday while continuing to lose at-bats to Jesse Winker, Starling Marte and Tyrone Taylor. Overall, the 30-year-old Bader is slashing .246/.290/.393 with 50 RBI (matching a career high), 54 runs scored and 16 stolen bases across 404 plate appearances this season.

Bader went 1-for-3 with a solo home run in Saturday's 4-0 win over the Reds.
The center fielder broke open a scoreless tie by taking Sam Moll deep to lead off the sixth inning. Bader has been making his rare hits count over the last few weeks -- he's gone just 3-for-45 (.067) since Aug. 15, but all three hits have left the yard. On the season, Bader is slashing .243/.288/.384 with 11 homers, 15 steals, 47 RBI and 52 runs in 392 plate appearances.
