After two consecutive off days, the Philadelphia Phillies announced Tuesday that they have placed Bryce Harper on the 10-day injured list, retroactive to May 23. The injury is called a left forearm contusion.
The 28-year-old got off to a hot start in 2021, but hasn’t looked himself in the field or at the plate recently. In his last four games, Harper is 0-16 with one walk and 10 strikeouts.
Joe Girardi is slated to speak later this afternoon, so we’ll learn more about the decision to place Harper on the IL.
Roman Quinn has been activated to take Harper’s place.
