Phillies Place Bryce Harper on Injured List with Wrist Inflammation, No Timetable for Return
- On June 7, the Philadelphia Phillies announced that Bryce Harper, their star first baseman, was moved to the 10-day injured list due to inflammation in his right wrist.
- Harper developed soreness in his wrist over the season, worsening recently and leading to the IL move retroactive to June 6, with no clear return date.
- Harper missed five games recently due to an injured right elbow sustained when he was hit by a pitch and had previously undergone UCL surgery on that same elbow following the 2022 season, causing him to miss a significant portion of the 2023 campaign.
- Harper has recorded a batting average of.258 this season, with a total of nine home runs and 34 runs batted in. To replace him on the roster, the Phillies called up prospect Otto Kemp, who made his major league debut on June 7.
- The Phillies have stumbled in recent games, dropping six of their past seven outings, which caused them to fall from first place to 2.5 games behind the Mets. They are optimistic that Bryce Harper’s recovery from wrist inflammation will bolster their offense when he returns.
