Bryce Harper is finally getting surgery on his right elbow, but the recovery might keep him out of commission for the start of the 2023 season.
Philadelphia Phillies president of baseball operations Dave Dombrowski announced on Wednesday that their All-Star right fielder will be undergoing surgery on Nov. 23 to repair the ulnar collateral ligament (UCL) in his right elbow. Harper sustained a small tear in his UCL back in May and was forced to stop playing the field, spending the rest of the season in the DH role.
The biggest question now is when Harper will be able to play, and that question doesn't have an answer yet because we don't know what kind of surgery he'll have.
