Bryce Harper Exits Phillies-Blue Jays Game with Elbow Injury

Medical Evaluation and Recovery Timeline

Bryce Harper, the Philadelphia Phillies' star outfielder, exited Saturday's game against the Toronto Blue Jays with an elbow injury.

Harper initially injured his elbow diving back to first base in Friday's game. He aggravated the injury while attempting a throw from right field in the second inning of Saturday's game.

Harper was immediately removed from the game and underwent medical evaluation. The Phillies announced that Harper had an MRI, which revealed a UCL sprain in his right elbow.

Recovery Timeline

• Harper is expected to miss 4-6 weeks while he recovers from the injury.
• He will not require surgery at this time, but the Phillies will monitor his progress closely.

Impact on Phillies

Harper's injury is a significant blow to the Phillies, who are already without several key players due to injuries.

Nick Castellanos is expected to move to right field in Harper's absence, while Brandon Marsh will take over in center field.

Fantasy Impact

Fantasy owners who have Harper on their team should consider placing him on the injured reserve list.

There are several potential replacements for Harper, including Brandon Marsh, Nick Castellanos, and Kyle Schwarber.
