PHILADELPHIA -- Bryce Harper and Shohei Ohtani each boast MVP and Rookie of the Year awards along with multiple All-Star Games, two of baseball's preeminent faces.
Oh, Harper and Ohtani are also linked in a rather calamitous way: Each have torn ligaments in their right elbow.
Ohtani has sustained the injury twice, actually, and the latest has sidelined him from pitching for the Los Angeles Angels for the rest of the season. Harper returned to the NL champion Philadelphia Phillies lineup in May -- 160 days after Tommy John surgery on his right elbow.
