phillies bryce harper injury.

Philadelphia Phillies first baseman Bryce Harper remains day-to-day as he continues to recover from a bruised right elbow, leaving his return to the lineup uncertain. Harper was hit by a 95 mph fastball from Atlanta Braves pitcher Spencer Strider during the first inning on Tuesday. Although X-rays indicated no fracture, Harper described the injury as “still super sore” and has yet to resume swinging a bat. Harper’s elbow, which underwent Tommy John surgery in 2022, remains a sensitive area. Harper plans to wear a protective guard on his right elbow upon his return.
