Giants suspending Harrison Bader's pay after scooter accident

The San Francisco Giants are suspending payment to outfielder Harrison Bader in the wake of his scooter accident that resulted in further injury to a left foot that was already suffering from plantar fasciitis, club president Buster Posey announced Friday.

The Giants' move indicates they believe Bader's late-night scooter accident puts him in violation of the uniform player contract, which typically forbids − or at least fails to protect the player from − potentially injurious activities such as playing basketball or skiing.
