Former Florida outfielder Harrison Bader is out for the season following a scooter accident.

Bader, an outfielder for the San Francisco Giants, was injured after he ran a scooter into the back of a fire truck. The truck wheel ran over Bader’s left foot, further aggravating a previous injury that has sidelined him since late May.

The Giants confirmed that the accident occurred around 2 a.m. Sunday morning.

This was prior to his appointment with a specialist about his plantar fasciitis. Following the incident, Bader was set to undergo an MRI to check the severity of his aggravated injury.

Ahead of the Giants game against the San Diego Padres Thursday, Giants manager Tony Vitello revealed that Bader will not play the remainder of the MLB season. This was said to be determined prior to Bader’s accident.

Bader last played May 29 after missing a month earlier in the season because of a hamstring injury. Due to these incidents, Bader only played 30 games in 2026 after signing a two-year, $20.5 million contract in free agency last season.

When he was playing, Bader struggled to make his mark on the field, slashing .170/.198/.358 across 106 at-bats with five home runs and 14 RBI.

This is not the first time that Bader’s season ended following a scooter accident. In 2014, during his sophomore season at the University of Florida, he ran a scooter into a parked truck and was found unconscious. Following the accident, Bader was suspended from the final 19 games of the season.

The crash was a notable part of his early career. Bader later commented on the accident, saying that it was a “freak accident.”
