The Yankees have placed outfielder Harrison Bader on waivers, according to multiple reports.
After arriving in a trade with St. Louis for Jordan Montgomery in August last season, Bader was a key contributor in the postseason, hitting five home runs in nine games while batting .333 and posting a 1.262 OPS.
However, injury issues have kept him in and out of the lineup for parts of this season and the 29-year-old outfielder has struggled of late, posting a .195 average and .483 OPS over his last 23 games.
Bader is the second veteran the Yankees have parted ways with Tuesday after Josh Donaldson was released. SNY MLB Insider Andy Martino reported earlier that the club released Donaldson now to give the veteran a chance to play in the postseason.
The same could be true for Bader, who could be claimed by Thursday and would be eligible for another team’s postseason roster. The move will also open up more playing time in the outfield for some of the Yankees' young prospects.
Any team that claims Bader would have to pick up the tab on the final month of his salary, which ESPN’s Jeff Passan reported is less than $1 million.
In 82 games with New York this season, Bader has 20 extra-base hits (including 11 home runs) and 37 RBI and slashed .242/.279/.370 for a .649 OPS and a below-average 77 OPS+.

Daniel Weinman won the World Series of Poker's main event world championship on Monday in Las Vegas, earning $12.1 million along the way. Playing in the tournament for a 16th year, Weinman was tops in a deep pool of 10,043 players vying for $93.39 million. His victory came after just 164 hands at the final table. "I was honestly on the fence about even coming back and playing this tournament," the 35-year-old Atlanta native told reporters afterward. Weinman's final table featured Jan-Peter Jachtmann, who landed in fourth place and took home $3 million, as well as Toby Lewis, who finished seventh and secured $1.42 million. According to the Las Vegas Review-Journal, the main event's entry pool far outpaced the previous record of 8,773 set in 2006. "I've always kind of felt that poker was kind of going in a dying direction, but to see the numbers at the World Series this year has been incredible," Weinman said. "And to win this main event, it doesn't feel real. I mean, [there's] so much luck in a poker tournament. I thought I played very well." Steven Jones finished second, securing $6.5 million. And Adam Walton settled for third and a $4 million prize.
