Bryce Harper Faces Live Pitching
Bryce Harper (wrist) was able to face live pitching during the weekend during their road series against the Atlanta Braves. According to Bill Trocchi of the Associated Press, Harper faced live pitching at Truist Park. This is a significant step for Harper as he is nearing his return from the 10-day injured list. The 32-year-old hit the IL with wrist inflammation on June 7. However, seeing him already begin to face live pitching suggests he could be on the verge of his return. Fantasy managers should continue to monitor his status as he could be eligible to return early in the week. Before his injury, Harper was swinging a hot bat, holding a .327/.400/.519 line with four doubles and two home runs over his last 14 games. While he remains out, fantasy managers should expect Otto Kemp and Alec Bohm to see most of the time at first base.
