San Francisco Giants rookie Daniel Susac appeared to mock teammate Harrison Bader's season-ending injury with a scooter celebration during a game Wednesday.
Bader's 2026 season was cut short last month when he injured his left foot, which was already in a boot, in a non-baseball related incident involving a firetruck and a scooter in San Francisco. The team is also withholding his pay due to the nature of the accident.
During the second inning of the game, Susac hit a double and, upon reaching second base, mimicked riding a scooter before grinning at the dugout. Several Giants players, including pitcher Logan Webb, were seen laughing at the gesture. It is unclear if the celebration was intended as a tribute to Bader or a taunt regarding his costly mistake.
Giants players have largely avoided commenting on Bader's situation since the incident occurred.
Bader's injury has been a significant setback for the team, and his absence is expected to impact their performance for the remainder of the season.
