The San Francisco Giants are shutting down outfielder Harrison Bader for the season after he reportedly crashed his scooter into the back of a fire truck.

The Giants confirmed earlier this week that Bader was in an accident last weekend that aggravated a left foot injury that has kept him sidelined since May 29.

Bader, 32, met with a foot and ankle specialist Monday in Indianapolis to check the progress of his initial injury, left plantar fasciitis. However, the impact of the scooter-related injury “changed the nature of his evaluation,” the team said in a statement.

Bader was scheduled to undergo an MRI to “better understand the severity of the injuries sustained from the scooter accident,” per the Giants.

TMZ Sports reported Friday that the scooter crash occurred in San Francisco at about 1:50 a.m. local time Sunday morning. A witness said Bader collided with the rear of a San Francisco Fire Department truck, causing the scooter wheel to roll over his foot.

The fire department confirmed that a patient was transported to a local hospital with non-life-threatening injuries.

Bader batted .170 with five home runs and 14 RBIs in 30 games this season, his first with the Giants. He signed a two-year deal worth $20.5 million in January. He also missed time earlier this season with a hamstring injury.

Bader is a career .244 hitter with 93 home runs and 336 RBIs in 954 games over 10 seasons with the St. Louis Cardinals (2017-22), New York Yankees (2022-23), Cincinnati Reds (2023), New York Mets (2024), Minnesota Twins (2025), Philadelphia Phillies (2025) and Giants.

U.S. women’s national team defender Emily Sonnett will miss the rest of the NWSL season for Gotham FC following knee surgery.

Gotham announced Friday that Sonnett, 32, underwent surgery to repair a ruptured patellar tendon in her left knee. She sustained the injury in the first half of last Friday’s 2-2 draw against the host Portland Thorns.

“Emily has the full support of everyone at the club, and we will be with her every step of the way throughout her recovery,” president of soccer operations Yael Averbuch West said. “She is incredibly resilient, and we know she will return stronger.”

The team did not provide a projected recovery timeline for Sonnett, whose participation in the 2027 Women’s World Cup could be in jeopardy. That tournament begins next June in Brazil.

Sonnett has helped Gotham secure three trophies since joining the squad in 2024, winning the NWSL Championship and Concacaf W Champions Cup in 2025 and the NWSL Challenge Cup in 2026.

The No. 1 pick in the 2016 NWSL Draft, Sonnett is in her 10th season in the league. She has recorded six goals and four assists in 180 career matches (174 starts) with Portland (2016-19), the Washington Spirit (2021-22), Seattle Reign (2023) and Gotham.

Internationally, she has made 118 appearances for the USWNT and helped to win the 2019 Women’s World Cup and 2024 Olympic gold medal.

At 10-18, the Chicago Sky are long shots to make a WNBA playoff run. But the addition of DiJonai Carrington to the active roster promises to at least make them more competitive.

Carrington returned Thursday night after missing the first 27 games after surgery to repair a foot she injured in last year’s playoffs with Minnesota. Her nine points and tough defense helped Chicago rally past Connecticut 94-88.

Carrington and the Sky seek another win Saturday afternoon when they host the Las Vegas Aces in the teams’ third and final clash of the year.

Coach Tyler Marsh had Carrington on restricted minutes, saving 10 of them for the fourth quarter. That’s when Chicago outscored Connecticut 33-22 to erase a five-point deficit. Carrington contributed a key blocked shot and a dagger 3-pointer down the stretch.

“Once you’re out there,” Carrington said, “I got a little groove and I stopped thinking and just started playing instinctively and I think that’s the best way to play.”

The Sky also got 18 of Kamilla Cardoso’s 26 points in the fourth quarter. Cardoso is averaging a career-high 14.5 points and canning 59.0% of her field-goal attempts.

Meanwhile, Las Vegas (20-8) comes into town off an entertaining 104-99 win Thursday night against visiting New York. A’ja Wilson stuffed the stat sheet with 33 points, 10 rebounds and six assists, while Jackie Young added 29 points and nine helpers.

Coach Becky Hammon lauded her team’s competitive spirit.

“Resilience is part of any championship team,” she said. “We talk about trying to be consistent in what we do, especially defensively. There are moments in the game that get hard. You always have to have that toughness and the bounce-back factor.”

Wilson is averaging 26.4 points and 9.7 rebounds, putting her in position to win a third straight Most Valuable Player award and her fifth in seven years.

The Aces are shooting for a season sweep of Chicago after posting 107-99 and 98-90 wins in a home-and-home series on June 28 and July 3, respectively.
