Bryce Harper left Tuesday's game between the Philadelphia Phillies and Atlanta Braves after being hit on his right elbow with a pitch.
Per the TV broadcast, the Phillies announced that X-rays on Harper's elbow from the Phillies clubhouse were negative. The initial diagnosis was of a contusion.
The incident took place in the bottom of the first inning. Braves starter Spencer Strider threw a 95 mph fastball inside on an 0-1 count that hit Harper on his elbow. Harper immediately clutched his elbow and eventually knelt to the ground in pain.
The hit was to the same elbow that required Tommy John surgery in 2022.
