Philadelphia Phillies star Bryce Harper will undergo surgery on the ulnar collateral ligament in his right elbow next week, team president Dave Dombrowski told reporters, though it was not immediately clear how long the recovery timeline will be.
Harper is set for surgery Nov. 23 for a tear to the UCL that he initially suffered in April and prevented him from playing the field the rest of the season.
It was not yet known whether Harper will undergo Tommy John surgery, Dombrowski said.
Harper was the Phillies' designated hitter throughout the majority of the season, including in the playoffs where he shined.
