Bryce Harper’s fractured left thumb will be reevaluated Monday, Philadelphia Phillies’ interim manager Rob Thomson said before the team opened up a three-game series with the Chicago Cubs Friday.
Jon Heyman of The New York Post had previously reported that Harper would meet next week with Pedro Beredjiklian, who performed the surgery on June 29 after the seven-time All-Star was hit by a pitch by San Diego Padres’ starter Blake Snell.
Thomson said that it’s “possible” that Harper has the three pins inserted during the procedure removed on Monday.
Whenever Harper does indeed have the pins removed from his left thumb, not only will he be able to progress as a hitter again, but the Phillies will be able to gauge whether the PRP injection that he received in his right elbow in Los Angeles on May 15 in Los Angeles was successful.
