Two-time National League MVP Bryce Harper is set to be activated from the 60-day injured list on Friday, per Phillies manager Rob Thomson.
The Phillies outfielder hasn’t played since June 25 after he broke his left thumb by being hit by a 97 mph pitch from Padres’ Blake Snell.
The 29-year-old stayed right on target for his return after he said he planned for an August return shortly after the injury occurred. With just a few days left in the month, he made that happen.
Just this week, Harper was designated for a rehab assignment at Triple–A Lehigh Valley.
