Harrison Bader (thumb) will be withheld from hitting until Monday, as reported by Justice delos Santos. Bader had been experiencing thumb problems for several days, aggravating the injury during Friday's Cactus League game, which resulted in an early departure. The San Francisco Giants are allowing his thumb to heal by keeping him from hitting for a few days. Jerar Encarnacion and Will Brennan are expected to receive additional reps in spring training during his recovery.
