Bryce Harper fractured his left thumb late Saturday night when he was hit by a pitch from Padres starter Blake Snell. Harper will be out for extended time, with no timetable set for his return.
The Padres pitcher said postgame he had no intention of throwing up and in like that.
“I felt terrible hitting him,” Snell said, via the AP’s Richard J. Marcus. “I don’t do that. He knows that. So we’ve talked and handled it. It was never anything. Just emotionally, he plays with a lot of passion and I can understand why he’d be upset.
