Bryce is back 👀 Harper emerged from a Monday morning doctor’s appointment in Los Angeles with clearance for game action as a DH, a source confirmed to ScottLauber. 🔗:
LOS ANGELES — When Bryce Harper walks into Dodger Stadium on Tuesday, it will be to play.
And so, 160 days after having a torn ligament in his right elbow reconstructed out of a tendon from his wrist — 2½ months before the initial “by the All-Star break” projection for his return — the superstar slugger and face of the Phillies will be back in the lineup without restrictions as a hitter in the ballpark where he made his major league debut 11 years ago.
”It’s kind of insane to even think about going back at this point in the season just because it’s never happened, it’s never been like that before,” Harper told The Inquirer two weeks ago. “When we came out and talked about it, it was All-Star break. To be even thinking about before All-Star break is just cherry on the top.”
