The Philadelphia Phillies suffered a tough loss against the Miami Marlins, but losing Bryce Harper to a hamstring injury would be even more devastating. On Thursday, Harper left the game after injuring his hamstring while running full-speed to first base. His discomfort was evident as he limped off the field, leaving fans worried about the extent of his injury.
The Phillies’ concerns were further compounded when left fielder Kyle Schwarber had to exit the game due to left groin tightness. Manager Rob Thomson provided no immediate update on Harper’s condition, stating that more information would be available the following day. Schwarber’s injury was said to be mostly precautionary, with the outfielder attributing it to an off-balance throw.
Both Harper and Schwarber have been performing well this season, with Harper leading the National League in All-Star voting reveals earlier on Thursday. If Harper is unable to play, it would be a significant blow to the team. As the Phillies wait for updates on Harper’s injury, they can only hope for a speedy recovery so their star player can return to action soon.
