Phillies first baseman Bryce Harper took a fastball square on the elbow in the bottom of the first inning against the Braves. He went down in considerable pain and had to exit the game.
The team announced that X-rays were negative and that Harper has an elbow contusion. Avoiding a fracture brings a huge sigh of relief for Harper, the Phillies, and their fans.
Harper, 32, is one of the most important players on a Philadelphia team with the best record in baseball. An extended absence for the two-time MVP would hurt the team considerably. Luckily, he should be day-to-day after the latest news.
