Bader (groin) is starting in left field and batting seventh Saturday versus the Brewers.
EDGE Analysis
A groin issue caused Bader to sit both Thursday and Friday after he was pulled early during the second game of a twin bill Wednesday. However, the injury doesn't appear to be severe, as Bader is back starting Saturday. Willi Castro -- who started in left field in Bader's stead Friday -- is out of the lineup Saturday while he deals with a knee injury.

Bader is out of the lineup for Thursday's game against the Orioles after exiting in the third inning of the Twins' 8-6 win in the second game of a doubleheader Wednesday due to left groin tightness, MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Bader started both contests of the twin bill, going a collective 2-for-6 with a double and an RBI before being lifted due to the groin issue. DaShawn Keirsey will pick up a start in left field Thursday in place of Bader, whom the Twins are viewing as day-to-day heading into their weekend series in MIlwaukee.

Bader was removed from the second game of Wednesday's doubleheader in Baltimore in the third inning due to an undisclosed injury, Bobby Nightengale of The Minnesota Star Tribune reports.
EDGE Analysis
Bader grounded out in the top of the third inning before being replaced in center field for the bottom of the frame. It's not clear what he's dealing with, but Bader was visited by the trainer in the first game Wednesday after sliding into the side wall following a catch. He stayed in that contest but might have aggravated something in the second game. The Twins should have more on Bader's condition shortly.

Bader (illness) is starting in left field and batting eighth in Thursday's game versus the Orioles.
EDGE Analysis
Bader was held out of the lineup the previous two days due to illness, but he homered as a pinch hitter Wednesday and is back in the Twins' lineup Thursday. The 30-year-old has provided surprising offensive punch for Minnesota this season, sporting an .825 OPS with four long balls.

Bader (illness) slugged a two-run home run as a pinch hitter in a 5-2 win against the Orioles on Wednesday.
EDGE Analysis
Bader began the game on the bench for the second day in a row due to an illness. However, he felt well enough to pinch hit in the seventh inning, and the veteran outfielder provided Minnesota with some big insurance runs on a two-run blast to left field. Bader remained in the game to play defense after hitting the long ball, so he seems likely to return to the starting lineup soon -- possibly Thursday for the final game of the series.
