The regretful news is that Bryce Harper’s return was shorter than we would have liked and the issue that kept him out of last night’s affair in the Steel City is more serious than we would have liked. He’s been placed on the 10-day Injured List, retroactive to yesterday, with what has formally been deemed right wrist inflammation.
The exciting news is that we’ve got an MLB debut on tap: Otto Kemp has been called up from the IronPigs. Kemp, a third baseman, slashed .313/.416/.594 this year as a resident of Allentown. The call-up completes a remarkable journey for the 25-year old out of Fullerton, California.
