The incident occurred on Tuesday night at Citizens Bank Park, where the Phillies were playing against the Atlanta Braves.<\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\">The Braves\u2019 pitcher <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sportskeeda.com\/player\/spencer-strider\/news\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" data-is-sponsored=\"false\">Spencer Strider<\/a> threw a fastball that hit Harper on his right elbow, the same one he had undergone Tommy John surgery on in 2022. Harper was seen kneeling down on the field with immense pain in his hand.<\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\">Team manager Rob Thompson and team trainer rushed out of the dugout to check on his condition. A couple of minutes later, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sportskeeda.com\/player\/bryce-harper\/news\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" data-is-sponsored=\"false\">Bryce Harper<\/a> was seen walking towards the dugout on his own.<\/p>\n<p><template id=\"also-read-articles-template\"><\/p>\n<p><\/template><\/p>\n<p><template id=\"bets-today-poll\"><\/p>\n<div class=\"preview-card-holder bets-today-poll\">\n<p><span class=\"date\"\/> \u2022 <span class=\"time\"\/><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"march-madness-logo\" src=\"https:\/\/staticg.sportskeeda.com\/skm\/assets\/march-madness-logo.png\" height=\"42\" width=\"99\" alt=\"march madness logo\"\/><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><\/template><\/p>\n<p>The X-ray reports came back negative, and the team announced Harper is dealing with a right elbow contusion. In his absence, infielder Edmundo Sosa took to the fields with Alec Bohm taking over first.<\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\">Currently, there are no reports on the superstar\u2019s return timeline. However, the blow will be huge given how many games Harper gets sidelined for the Phillies. The team is currently on a roll with a 34-19 record and a nine-game win streak.<\/p>\n<hr\/>\n<h2>Bryce Harper gets injured in same elbow with Tommy John surgery<\/h2>\n<figure class=\"image\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"sk-app-thumbnail\" alt=\"Bryce Harper [Source: Imagn]\" src=\"https:\/\/staticg.sportskeeda.com\/editor\/2025\/05\/7629f-17483951079812-1920.jpg\"\/><img fetchpriority=\"high\" class=\"lazy-img\" width=\"1280\" height=\"720\" data-img=\"https:\/\/staticg.sportskeeda.com\/editor\/2025\/05\/7629f-17483951079812-1920.jpg\" srcset=\"https:\/\/staticg.sportskeeda.com\/editor\/2025\/05\/7629f-17483951079812-1920.jpg?w=190 190w, https:\/\/staticg.sportskeeda.com\/editor\/2025\/05\/7629f-17483951079812-1920.jpg?w=720 720w, https:\/\/staticg.sportskeeda.com\/editor\/2025\/05\/7629f-17483951079812-1920.jpg?w=640 640w, https:\/\/staticg.sportskeeda.com\/editor\/2025\/05\/7629f-17483951079812-1920.jpg?w=1045 1045w, https:\/\/staticg.sportskeeda.com\/editor\/2025\/05\/7629f-17483951079812-1920.jpg?w=1200 1200w, https:\/\/staticg.sportskeeda.com\/editor\/2025\/05\/7629f-17483951079812-1920.jpg?w=1460 1460w, https:\/\/staticg.sportskeeda.com\/editor\/2025\/05\/7629f-17483951079812-1920.jpg?w=1600 1600w, https:\/\/staticg.sportskeeda.com\/editor\/2025\/05\/7629f-17483951079812-1920.jpg 1920w\" alt=\"Bryce Harper [Source: Imagn]\" data-img-low=\"https:\/\/staticg.sportskeeda.com\/editor\/2025\/05\/7629f-17483951079812-1920.jpg?w=640\" bad-src=\"data:image\/svg+xml,&lt;svg%20xmlns=%22http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg%22%20viewBox=%220%200%201280%20720%22&gt;&lt;\/svg&gt;\"\/><figcaption>Bryce Harper [Source: Imagn]<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p align=\"justify\">The only concern the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sportskeeda.com\/team\/philadelphia-phillies\/news\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" data-is-sponsored=\"false\">Philadelphia Phillies<\/a> now have with the X-ray reports being negative is Bryce Harper\u2019s right elbow. It\u2019s the same elbow that was surgically repaired after he led the team to the 2022 World Series.<\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\">Following his surgery, he missed the start of the 2023 season and joined the team in May. He was also marked as the player who returned the fastest from the Tommy John surgery in 160 days. He was way ahead of the typical recovery time, which usually lasts around 12-18 months for this post-surgery rehab.<\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\">Last season, Harper suffered from elbow irritation on the same hand, although no IL stint was necessary. It was reported that his inflammation had nothing to do with Tommy John surgery.<\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\">So far in the 2025 season, he\u2019s been on a roll by recording 8 home runs, 33 RBIs, and a batting average of .267. He\u2019s a cornerstone for the team, and his absence might affect the team\u2019s performance in the upcoming games.<\/p>\n<div class=\"article-post-rating-widget\">\n<p><template id=\"post-rating-feedback-modal-template\"><\/p>\n<div class=\"post-rating-feedback-feedback-box\">\n<div class=\"post-rating-feedback-content\">\n<div class=\"post-rating-feedback-data\">\n<p>Why did you not like this content?<\/p>\n<p><textarea id=\"dislike-feedback-text\" rows=\"4\" placeholder=\"Please type your feedback...\"\/>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>\n<button class=\"close\">Cancel<\/button><br \/>\n<button class=\"submit\">Submit<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><\/template><\/p>\n<div class=\"post-rating-widget-parent hidden\">\n<div class=\"rating-parent-container\">\n<div class=\"rating-content-holder\">\n<p>Was this article helpful?<\/p>\n<div class=\"post-rating-action-container\">\n<div class=\"like-container\">\n<button class=\"post-rating-like-button post-rating-button\" data-action=\"like\"><br \/>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"post-like-image post-rating-image\" src=\"https:\/\/staticg.sportskeeda.com\/like-articles\/upvote-icon-grey.svg\" height=\"20\" width=\"20\" alt=\"like selected\"\/><br \/>\n<\/button>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"dislike-container\">\n<button class=\"post-rating-dislike-button post-rating-button\" data-action=\"dislike\"><br \/>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"post-dis-like-image post-rating-image\" src=\"https:\/\/staticg.sportskeeda.com\/like-articles\/upvote-icon-grey.svg\" height=\"20\" width=\"20\" alt=\"avatar selected\"\/><br \/>\n<\/button>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>\nThank You for feedback\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"post-author-info-parent\">\n<span class=\"about-the-author\">About the author<\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"author-info-holder\">\n<div class=\"author-pic-holder\">\n<img decoding=\"async\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" class=\"author-pic\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;charset=utf-8,&lt;svg width=\" height=\"100\"\/><rect width=\"100\" height=\"100\" style=\"fill:rgb(128, 128, 128);\"\/>&#8221; data-lazy=&#8221;https:\/\/keedag.sportskeeda.com\/user-pic\/852477-1742751228-200.jpg?w=200&#8243;<br \/>\nalt=&#8221;Kaushani Chatterjee&#8221; height=&#8221;72&#8243; width=&#8221;72&#8243;&gt;\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"author-bio-detail-holder\">\n<div class=\"author-bio\">\n<p class=\"author-bio\" id=\"author-bio-text\">\nKaushani Chatterjee is a baseball journalist at Sportskeeda with a Master&#8217;s in English and over 4 years of experience at publications such as FirstSportz.<\/p>\n<p>Kaushani &#8216;s favorite teams are the New York Yankees and Los Angeles Dodgers.
