Though it will probably prove to just be precautionary, Bryce Harper exited the Philadelphia Phillies-Minnesota Twins Spring Training game Tuesday after the inside of his left foot was hit by a pitch.

Harper, who had been off to a hot start this spring, was hit by Twins righty Sean Poppen in the bottom of the first inning. As Harper tried to take a second to collect himself, Joe Girardi elected to pull him from the game:

He walked off under his own power and walked around in the dugout, so there’s no indication that Harper suffered any sort of injury, but it is worth monitoring.
