Bryce Harper Says He's Good After Hit-By-Pitch
1 month agoPhiladelphia Phillies All-Star first baseman Bryce Harper (elbow) said he felt better after receiving treatment on Wednesday for his left elbow after leaving the series finale against the Toronto Blue Jays at Rogers Centre early when he was hit by a pitch. Harper said he's good, and manager Rob Thomson described the decision to pull Harper early as "more precautionary" with his elbow stiffening up. He didn't have an official at-bat in the 4-2 win and was replaced by pinch-hitter Edmundo Sosa before his second at-bat. The 31-year-old has also dealt with nagging right elbow and wrist injuries of late, so it would be a surprise to see Harper in the lineup on Thursday for the series opener in Miami against the division-rival Marlins. But thankfully for fantasy managers and the Phils, Harper appears to be day-to-day and should return to action at some point this weekend.
