St. Louis Cardinals outfielder Harrison Bader (ribs) will be out a while longer while dealing with a hairline fracture in his rib, according to Zachary Silver of MLB.com. Manager Mike Shildt said that Bader was "going to be a bit longer than we anticipated," adding that Bader is still not feeling well enough from the rib fracture to ramp up baseball activities, and that the longer it takes him to start back up, the longer his rehab will be. Bader has been out since May 26 after suffering a fractured rib while making a diving catch against the White Sox. Over 22 games this season, Bader was slashing .219/.301/.411 with four home runs, three steals, nine RBI and eight runs scored. Managers can go ahead and continue to stash him on the IL, but if you're facing a roster crunch, Bader is a safe option to drop in most formats.--Michael

Minnesota Twins outfielder Harrison Bader (groin) is not in the team's starting lineup for Thursday's series finale against the Baltimore Orioles at Camden Yards. DaShawn Keirsey Jr. is starting in left field and will bat ninth against Orioles right-hander Tomoyuki Sugano. Bader exited in the middle of the third inning in Game 2 of the team's doubleheader on Wednesday against the O's with left-groin tightness, so it's not a big surprise he's out for the matinee game on Thursday. The 30-year-old veteran is being considered day-to-day for now, so check back on Friday to see if he's ready to return for the series opener against the Milwaukee Brewers. Bader was signed by the Twins in the offseason mainly for his glove, but he's contributed nicely at the plate so far, too, slashing .300/.384/.464 with an .848 OPS, four homers, 18 RBI, 16 runs and four steals. Keirsey has never faced Sugano in his career.--Keith Hernandez - RotoBaller

Minnesota Twins outfielder Harrison Bader (groin) was removed from Game 2 of a doubleheader on Wednesday against the Baltimore Orioles early with left-groin tightness, the team announced. Bader was removed in the third inning after grounding out. He also had an injury scare in the Game 1 win at Camden Yards during a sliding catch in the outfield. DaShawn Keirsey Jr. replaced Bader in center field. Before leaving, the 30-year-old went 1-for-2 with a single and an RBI in Game 2. It's unclear exactly how serious Bader's groin injury is, but it's a good bet that he won't be active for the series finale in Baltimore on Thursday. His next chance to return would be for Friday's series opener versus the Milwaukee Brewers. Bader entered the day hitting a nice .298/.387/.462 with an .848 OPS, four home runs, 17 RBI, 16 runs and four steals in his 104 at-bats in his first year in Minnesota.--Keith Hernandez - RotoBaller

Minnesota Twins outfielder Harrison Bader (illness) is starting in left field and is hitting eighth for Thursday's series finale against the visiting Baltimore Orioles and right-hander Dean Kremer at Target Field. Bader will be back in action for the Twins after missing the last two games due to an illness. The 30-year-old veteran has hit well so far in his first season with Minnesota, going 27-for-94 (.287) with four home runs, four doubles, 16 RBI, two stolen bases and 14 runs scored in 33 games played. Additionally, he enters Thursday's contest riding a nine-game hitting streak in which he's gone 13-for-29 (.448) with a homer, three doubles, four RBI, a steal and seven runs scored. Bader has hits in both his career at-bats against Kremer, too, but the fact he's hitting at the bottom of the lineup isn't great news for his DFS upside on Thursday.--Keith Hernandez - RotoBaller

Minnesota Twins outfielder Harrison Bader (illness) was scratched from the starting nine on Tuesday due to an illness. Aaron Gleeman of The Athletic reported that it is possible Bader is deployed off the bench. Instead, Willi Castro will get the starting nod in left field and bat in the nine-hole. Bader is currently riding an impressive eight-game hitting streak. During this stretch, Bader has held a .429/.484/.536 slash line with three doubles, two RBI, and one stolen base. Prior to this streak, Bader held a modest .215/.311/.369 slash line over his first 24 games of the campaign. Fantasy managers should monitor his status leading up to Wednesday's contest. This evening, Castro is worth a look in DFS as he will face Baltimore southpaw Cade Povich, who enters this game holding a 5.16 ERA.--Andy Smith - RotoBaller
