Bryce Harper Leaves Early After Being Hit By Pitch
40 seconds agoPhiladelphia Phillies first baseman Bryce Harper (biceps) was hit on the right biceps by a Richard Lovelady pitch on Wednesday during his Grapefruit League debut versus the Toronto Blue Jays and immediately came out of the game. The 32-year-old was hit in the arm in his third plate appearance of the day in the sixth inning. It's unclear of the severity of Harper's injury, but there's a good chance it's nothing very serious and the Phillies are just exercising precaution with the All-Star first baseman. Stay tuned for an update on Harper by the end of Wednesday. The former first overall pick by the Washington Nationals in 2010 out of the College of Southern Nevada is a two-time MVP and slashed .285/.373/.525 with an .898 OPS, 30 home runs, 87 RBI and seven steals in 145 regular-season games for the Phils in 2024. Harper has reached the 30-homer mark five times in his career and is RotoBaller's No. 3 fantasy first baseman.
