Bryce Harper Leaves With Left-Elbow Contusion
1 month agoPhiladelphia Phillies All-Star first baseman Bryce Harper (elbow) left Wednesday's contest early against the Toronto Blue Jays at Rogers Centre with a left-elbow contusion after he was hit by a pitch, according to the team. Harper will be evaluated further. Harper was hit by a pitch in the first inning of the series finale and initially stayed in before being replaced by a pinch-hitter before his second at-bat. Fantasy managers will want to check back for more news on the 31-year-old's condition soon. In addition to Harper's left elbow, he told MLB.com last week that he's been playing with a sore wrist and sore right elbow, so he's clearly not 100% and now has another injury to deal with. Even if tests on Harper's left elbow come back clean, fantasy managers shouldn't be surprised if he's held out for Thursday's series in Miami against the division-rival Marlins.
