Bryce Harper's Throwing Session Doesn't Go Well
3 years agoPhiladelphia Phillies outfielder Bryce Harper (elbow) said he didn't feel great after playing catch on Tuesday in right field. The Phillies will re-evaluate him on Wednesday, but there is no timetable for when Harper will return to right field. The good news is he won't need to go on the injured list, since he can continue to serve as the designated hitter for now. The 29-year-old hasn't played the field since April 16 due to a right elbow injury, and he will play exclusively at DH until at least May 3. Last year's National League MVP continues to swing the bat well despite his elbow injury, as he has an .870 OPS, two home runs, six RBI and six runs scored in eight games as the Phillies DH. Nick Castellanos and Kyle Schwarber will continue to see more time in the outfield with Harper injured.
