Bryce Harper injury update: Phillies star might skip minor ...
Harper continues to work his way back from offseason elbow surgery
www.cbssports.comHere’s the latest on Bryce Harper’s injury:
- Harper exited a game after being hit near his right elbow by a fastball from Spencer Strider on May 27, 2025. X-rays were negative, and he was diagnosed with a right elbow contusion, meaning no structural damage was found at that time.
- Phillies manager Rob Thomson indicated Harper would be reevaluated the next day, and the team hoped to avoid an injured list unless symptoms persisted. The elbow bruise was described as the primary issue with no immediate timetable for missed time beyond the immediate game.
- Coverage from credible outlets at the time emphasized that while the scare was significant due to Harper’s surgically repaired elbow, the negative X-rays suggested a favorable short-term prognosis, with rest and careful monitoring as the likely path forward.
