Overview

• Harrison Bader left Game 1 with left-groin tightness, not a hamstring issue, after running from first to second on a Bryson Stott single.
• Manager Rob Thomson said Bader was set for imaging on the off day, and the outfielder described himself as day-to-day and optimistic about returning this series.
• An MRI showed no tear or major strain and the club is hopeful he can be available for Game 2, according to USA Today’s Bob Nightengale as reported by ClutchPoints.
• If Bader cannot go, the Phillies are expected to move Brandon Marsh to center with Nick Castellanos in right and either Max Kepler or Weston Wilson in left.
• Placing Bader on the postseason injured list would sideline him for the NLCS, with eligibility to return only if the Phillies reach the World Series.
