"I want to be the best version of myself for my teammates," Bader said. "This game means a lot to me. I'm always chasing it. I've been chasing it since I was a kid. Sometimes you have to take a little time up front to realize that on the back side of that is some success, a lot of fun, everything we strive towards being in this game.
"Every time I take the field with these guys I feel 10 feet tall. I, individually, have a long way to go, but every time I take a step out there and I'm healthy, I feel like I'm in a really good spot to help this team win and make the fans in San Francisco happy."
Bader joined the Giants before the 2026 season . The outfielder has struggled this year, but he has a proven track record at the MLB level. Nevertheless, he is hitting just .153/.184/.347 across 20 games played so far during the '26 campaign.
Overall, the Giants are 20-27 and in fourth place in the National League West standings. San Francisco will look to earn another big victory on Monday night against the Diamondbacks in Arizona . First pitch for the contest is scheduled for 9:40 PM EST.
