Philadelphia Phillies DH Bryce Harper suffered a broken left thumb on Saturday after being hit in the hand by a high and tight fastball from Blake Snell. While Harper is slated to see a hand specialist this week to determine the best course of action and whether surgery is necessary, at first blush, Harper’s season may well be over.
Harper has been limited to DH duties since the middle of April due to a damage UCL in his right elbow. Harper received a PRP injection for the injury in May and has not thrown since that time.
