Philadelphia Phillies star outfielder Bryce Harper underwent successful Tommy John surgery Wednesday in Los Angeles, adding clarity to his status for 2023.
According to the Phillies, Harper’s prognosis targets a return to the designated hitter role by the All-Star break and a possible return to playing right field near the end of the regular season.Philadelphia Phillies MLB Trøjer
While the news isn’t likely to excite Phillies fans, Harper could reportedly be back sooner than the team said.
Jim Salisbury of NBC Sports Philadelphia reports that a source within the Phillies said Harper’s surgery went very well, and the slugger could be hitting competitively by mid-May, nearly two months ahead of the Midsummer Classic.Slidstærk baseballtrøje
Last week, Phillies president of baseball operations Dave Dombrowski announced that Harper would undergo surgery but revealed the team wouldn’t know the severity of the injury nor how much time he’d miss until Dr. Neal ElAttrache takes a look at it.
