Maria Chavez+FollowHarper Update: Phillies’ Plan After Mets SurgePhilly fans, how about this run? Even with Bryce “MV3” Harper sidelined, the Fightins have clawed back to tie the Mets atop the NL East. The big news: Harper’s finally taking dry swings and throwing again, with the team playing it safe after last year’s wrist issues. Otto Kemp’s stepped up at first, but with a Mets showdown looming, will he stick around once Harper’s back? Manager Rob Thomson hints at a Kepler-Kemp platoon in left. Thoughts on Kemp’s fit when MV3 returns? #Phillies #BryceHarper #MLB #Sports #Baseball10Share
Tammy Sellers+FollowBryce Sits Out—Wrist Woes Worry Phils FansBig news for the Fightins: Bryce “Bam Bam” Harper is out of the lineup tonight against the Pirates, with skipper Rob Thomson confirming it’s due to a nagging wrist issue. Harper’s been grinding through it, but after an 0-for-4 night, he finally told the trainers it’s getting worse. Thankfully, Thomson says it’s day-to-day, but with Harper’s power bat and new first base role, any wrist trouble is a big concern. Do you think this could impact the Phillies’ momentum in the NL East race? #Phillies #BryceHarper #MLB #Sports00Share
Andrea Castillo+FollowBryce Bombs Jays—But Is He 100% Yet?Bryce “MV3” Harper made a statement in his return, launching a clutch homer against the Jays after missing five games from that nasty Strider fastball. Even though he’s still got swelling in his elbow, Harper says he’s feeling good and ready to help the Phils chase the NL East crown. With the team struggling without him, it’s clear how much his presence means. Do you think Harper’s power will bounce back as he heals, or will the injury linger all season? #Phillies #BryceHarper #MLB #Sports10Share
Tammy Sellers+FollowHarper’s Bruised Elbow: Should We Worry?Tough break for the Fightins—Bryce “MV3” Harper took a 95 mph heater to the elbow against the Braves and is still feeling it. X-rays came back clean, but Harper says he’s 'super sore' and hasn’t tried swinging yet. He’s hoping to dodge the IL, but with the Phils leading the NL and a big stretch coming up, should fans be concerned if he’s out longer? Schwarber’s been hot, but can the lineup keep rolling without their star? #Phillies #BryceHarper #MLB #Sports00Share
jillian59+FollowStrider vs. Harper: Heated Moment or Just Bad Luck?Did anyone else catch the tension between Spencer Strider and Bryce Harper last night? Strider’s heater clipped Harper’s elbow—right where he had Tommy John surgery—and forced the Phillies’ superstar out early. Strider insists it wasn’t intentional, saying he felt bad seeing Harper in pain. With King Bryce’s injury history, you could feel the stadium hold its breath. Rivalry aside, even Strider admits the game’s better with Harper on the field. What do you think—just an accident, or something more? #Phillies #Braves #BryceHarper #Sports01Share
