He hasn’t played since May 29 and previously missed about a month with a hamstring injury.

The San Francisco Giants activated Harrison Bader from the 15-day IL and recalled Dylan Smith, while optioning Ryan Walker and Gregory Santos, as they battle an 11-24 record tied for the NL’s worst. Offense has been the bigger issue, though Casey Schmitt has been the club’s standout hitter with a 144 wRC+. Bader’s return should bolster defense and add a potential offensive spark, and reliever Sam Hentges appears set to rejoin the bullpen, which already posts a 3.85 ERA. The team is also testing Schmitt’s defensive versatility, possibly as a future outfield option if needed.
The San Francisco Giants placed outfielders Harrison Bader (hamstring strain, IL retroactive to April 12) and Jared Oliva (hamate fracture) on the 10-day injured list. Bader figures to miss at least a week, with Oliva out four to eight weeks, depending on recovery. Will Brennan and Drew Gilbert were recalled from Triple-A to cover in the outfield. Bader has struggled this season after a strong 2025, while Oliva showed notable speed in spring; if Bader is out long, Jung-Hoo Lee could shift to center with Gilbert/Brennan handling remaining outfield duties as Oliva recovers.
