MIAMI, FLORIDA - JULY 8: Bryce Harper #3 of the Philadelphia Phillies gets checked on after a hit by pitch against the Miami Marlins during the third inning at loanDepot park on July 8, 2023 in Miami, Florida. Phillies slugger Bryce Harper was struck on his surgically repaired right elbow by a pitch from Marlins starter Braxton Garrett in the third inning against Miami on Saturday, forcing him to leave the game after the inning concluded.
Harper was replaced at designated hitter by Bryson Stott when his turn came in the fifth. The two-time MVP has played exclusively at DH since his return on May 2 from Tommy John surgery in the offseason. The 30-year-old Harper also was limited to the DH role last season as he delayed the surgery until after the postseason. The Phillies lost to the Houston Astros in the World Series.
