Cardinals' Harrison Bader: Facing shutdown

Bader (foot) is expected to be shut down for a matter of weeks, Jeff Jones of the Belleville News-Democrat reports.

Bader has been dealing with plantar fasciitis in his right foot since late June, and he had a follow-up appointment Wednesday that confirmed his diagnosis but also revealed he won't require surgery. However, he'll need more time to rest and doesn't yet have a timetable to rejoin the Cardinals.
