Philadelphia lost to the Houston Astros in the World Series. The 30-year-old Harper also was limited to the DH role last season as he delayed the surgery until after the postseason. The two-time MVP has played exclusively at DH since his return on May 2 from Tommy John surgery in the offseason. Harper was replaced at designated hitter by Bryson Stott when his turn came in the fifth. He was later thrown out trying to steal third. Harper got attention from a team trainer for a couple of minutes before heading to first. … Aaron Nola (5-4, 4.30) and Dodgers right-hander Bobby Miller will start Saturday at 4:05.MIAMI (AP) - Phillies slugger Bryce Harper was struck on his surgically repaired right elbow by a pitch from Marlins starter Braxton Garrett in the third inning against Miami on Saturday, forcing him to leave the game after the inning concluded. NOTES > The Phillies Friday named one of their MLB Urban Youth Academy fields in FDR Park after the late Dick Allen, who spent nine of his 15 seasons with the Phillies and was the 1964 National League Rookie of the Year. Thomson laughed when it was playfully suggested the 60-year-old, seven-time Cy Young winner could be a candidate to be the Phillies’ No. “He’s just here for the weekend to see Kody and he wanted to go out and throw some batting practice,” Thomson said.

By sending him out, we’ll get him re-introduced to some bulk – two innings, maybe two-plus, to get him on a structured schedule and get him some rest.”Īlvarado pitched a scoreless eighth inning Friday.

He pitched in the World Series last year and pitched great. “It’s really kind of a re-set for him,” Thomson said.
The Phillies will try to stretch Brogdon out with the Pigs with the idea of using him as an opener when he returns. To make roster room, Connor Brogdon was optioned to Lehigh Valley. Jose Alvarado, who had not played since May 5 due to a sore elbow, was removed from the 15-day injured list. “We will work him hard again (Saturday),” Thomson said. The original plan was for Bohm to use a day off Friday to recover from the workout, but he needs more time. “He still feels it a little bit, so he won’t be activated,” Thomson said. But I would think it is going to be close to August before he comes back.” And if he comes back quicker than that, that’s great. “That’s kind of what we expected, being very conservative. “There haven’t been any setbacks,” Thomson said. It was nothing Harper had not heard before. Dodgers fans righted this wrong almost immediately.
That would allow Alec Bohm to return to full-time third-base work. LOS ANGELES - There were enough Phillies fans at Dodger Stadium on Tuesday night that Bryce Harper got cheered as he walked to home plate in the first inning for his first plate appearance of 2023. With Rhys Hoskins out until at least late September following knee surgery, the Phillies are seeking a regular first baseman. The offseason operation was successful, and Harper returned to the lineup, but he remains able to only hit. Ultimately, the Phillies expect Harper to return to right field, which he had to stop playing last year and become a designated hitter due to elbow damage. And it is probably going to be until August before Bryce can play first base.” “Like I said, it’s going to be after the All-Star break for sure. “That’s a long ways away,” Rob Thomson said Friday, before a 5-4 victory over the Los Angeles Dodgers. There was some early-season hope that Harper, who was successfully taking pregame reps, could soon become a regular first baseman, where he seldom would be required to make lengthy throws. PHILADELPHIA - Have recovered quickly from Tommy John surgery yet with a throwing elbow still not strong enough to trust in the field, Bryce Harper will remain as the Phillies’ designated hitter for a while.
