Philadelphia Phillies stars Bryce Harper and Kyle Schwarber are headed to the 10-day injured list, but both have avoided serious ailments, per Matt Gelb of The Athletic.

Harper suffered a low-grade hamstring strain. He can return as soon as July 9.

However, Gelb noted the team could opt to sit Harper for the rest of the season's first half to give him more rest time with the All-Star break occurring from July 15-18.

That would mean sitting the team's home series against the Los Angeles Dodgers (July 9-11) and Oakland Athletics (July 12-14).
