Philadelphia Phillies star Bryce Harper will miss Saturday's matchup against the Washington Nationals because of an infected blister on his left hand, per Scott Lauber of the Philadelphia Inquirer.
Per that report, Harper is taking antibiotics to treat the infection.
This is minor setback for Harper after Matt Breen of the Philadelphia Inquirer reported in May the slugger was not expected to play right field prior to July's All-Star break. He had a platelet-rich plasma injection in his right elbow and was informed not to throw for six weeks.
