After securing his second career MVP trophy in 2021, Bryce Harper is having another stellar season at the plate.
Thanks to the newly adopted designated hitter in the National League, he won't have to cut it short.
The Philadelphia Phillies slugger missed his third straight game on Wednesday after a platelet-rich-plasma injection on Sunday to treat a small tear of the ulnar collateral ligament in his right elbow. The injury has bothered him most of the season and kept him out of right field since April 16.
On Wednesday, Phillies manager Joe Girardi told reporters that the doctor who administered the PRP injection advised Harper not to throw for at least six weeks.
