Bryce Harper knows he’ll be back — he just doesn’t know when.
“… I don’t want to give anybody a timetable because I don’t know. I don’t think that’s fair to you guys or my teammates or anybody else. If I knew a specific date that I’d be back, I’d tell you. But I’ll be back.”
In his absence, the Phillies have gone 4-3 and currently sit eight games behind the Mets in the NL East and one game behind the Cardinals for the last NL wild-card spot. The 29-year-old Harper was hitting .318 with 15 home runs, 48 RBIs and a .985 OPS when he was injured. Harper — who said he “hates” sitting on the bench — maintained that he’ll do whatever it takes to get back on the field this season.Bryce Harper fractured his left thumb after being struck by a Blake Snell fastball, but the injury won’t end his season.“I just want to go day by day and be back when I can, whenever I feel healthy, whenever that is to help this team win,” Harper said.
Even before the thumb injury, Harper had already been hampered by injuries. A torn ligament in his right elbow relegated the two-time MVP to designated hitter duties.
