Philadelphia Phillies star Bryce Harper had pins removed from his left thumb Sunday, per Todd Zolecki of MLB.com.
Zolecki noted Harper "can start to ramp up his rehab toward a return" as a result.
The reigning National League MVP has continued to tear the cover off the ball during the 2022 season. Through 64 games, he has 15 home runs, a .599 slugging percentage and a 174 OPS+.
Injuries have been the only thing that can slow down Harper, and he hasn't played since June 25.
The 2022 All-Star was diagnosed with a small tear in his right UCL in May, which briefly took him out of the lineup and limited him to designated hitter duties upon returning.
