Philadelphia Phillies star Bryce Harper underwent Tommy John surgery on his right throwing elbow Wednesday, according to Jim Salisbury of NBC Sports Philadelphia.
President of baseball operations Dave Dombrowski announced last week that Harper would undergo surgery that would be performed by noted surgeon Neil ElAttrache. It wasn’t known until he was in performing the procedure whether it would be Tommy John surgery or another option to fix his elbow.
The procedure, per Salisbury, went “very well.” The thought is that the two-time National League MVP could be back as a hitter by mid-May.
