Bryce Harper Hurts Hamstring Thursday
2 days agoPhiladelphia Phillies manager Rob Thomson said after Thursday's loss to the Miami Marlins that first baseman Bryce Harper (hamstring) felt his hamstring grab as he was running to first base on a game-ending groundout. Thomson said the club doesn't know more than that right now, and they will have more information before Friday's tilt against Miami. Harper limped off the field on Thursday, appearing to pull his left hamstring in the contest's waning moments. He'll head for imaging to determine the severity of the issue, and fantasy managers can only hope the 31-year-old superstar slugger isn't dealing with any kind of significant strain. Harper is slashing .303/.399/.582 with 20 home runs, 20 doubles, 58 RBI, and four stolen bases over 287 at-bats. Alec Bohm would likely shift to the cold corner if Harper is facing an extended absence, potentially opening up an everyday role at third base for Edmundo Sosa, who is worth a speculative add in most fantasy leagues.
