Bryce Harper says he doesn’t know when he’ll be able to return from his fractured right thumb, but the reigning National League MVP is adamant that he’ll return before the conclusion of the 2022 regular season.
“I’ll be back,” Harper said when asked about whether he’s been told he’ll be back or is hopeful he can play again this year.
Does Harper know when that return will be?
“I don’t right now, but I’ll be back.”
What about an approximate target date for returning to the No. 3 spot in the Phillies’ lineup?
“I don’t wanna hope or think about anything, I just wanna go day by day and be back when I can, whenever I feel healthy.
