Extent of Bryce Harper's injury revealed, won't throw for 'the foreseeable future'
Philadelphia Phillies' Bryce Harper gestures from first base after hitting an RBI single during the third inning of the first game of a double header against the New York Mets, Sunday, May 8, 2022, in Philadelphia.
Initial word for the injury was a"flexor strain," which has often become code for"the team fears UCL damage but doesn’t want to rile up the fan base." Unfortunately, the partial UCL tear in his throwing elbow has now been confirmed. If Harper were a pitcher, the shutdown would be extensive and surgery would be on the table. However, Harper is normally a right fielder, and the Phillies can take advantage of the new permanent DH rule in the National League which will allow Harper to continue to play.
Harper has already been the DH for 22 games since the injury. Count on that to continue until at least the All-Star break, if not longer. He is getting a platelet-rich plasma injection to his right elbow to induce healing, and there are no plans for surgery yet. In the best case scenario, he might begin a throwing program a month from the injection, but that will be a slow ramp up.
