Philadelphia Phillies outfielder Bryce Harper (thumb) had the pins removed from his thumb on Monday and will now be ready to begin to ramp up activities in the near future. Harper has been on the injured list since fracturing his thumb near the end of June when he was hit by a pitch. He is still likely several weeks away from being able to return to the Phillies, but the pins coming out on Monday are at least a step in the right direction. Harper is hitting .318 with 15 homers, 49 runs, 48 RBI, and nine steals in 2022.

Philadelphia Phillies outfielder Bryce Harper (thumb) didn't have the pins removed from his fractured left thumb on Monday, but that could happen next week. He hasn't suffered a setback of any sort, but he just isn't quite ready to have his pins removed. Harper will meet with his surgeon again next Monday and will hopefully be cleared to have his pins removed. The 29-year-old slugger will still have at least several weeks before he might come off the injured list after he has his pins removed, so fantasy managers must remain patient and keep him stashed in fantasy. Last year's National League MVP had also been playing through a right elbow injury, but it hadn't slowed down his production at the plate, as he was hitting .318/.385/.599 with a .985 OPS, 15 home runs, 48 RBI, 49 runs scored and nine stolen bases at the time of his injury.

Philadelphia Phillies outfielder Bryce Harper (thumb) is set to visit his surgeon next week. According to Jon Heyman of the New York Post, Harper is hoping that he'll get the pins removed from his wrist during the visit. Harper broke his left thumb back on June 25. Following the injury, he had three pins inserted into his thumb. The 29-year-old was given an estimated timeline of six-to-eight weeks after the pins were inserted, meaning he could be back by mid-August if he can land on the short end of that estimate. The seven-time All-Star owns a .318/.385/.599 slash line over 64 games on the year.

Philadelphia Phillies outfielder Bryce Harper (thumb) underwent surgery to repair his fractured thumb on Wednesday. According to Matt Gelb of The Athletic, the team is deferring comments regarding the surgery and Harper as a whole at this time. They are instead waiting until Harper addresses the surgery himself later on in the week. News broke earlier this week that Harper may only be sidelined the next six weeks with the injury. While that's still a good chunk of the remaining fantasy season, that timeline would still allow him to be a potential difference-maker down the stretch. He needs to remain rostered in all season-long fantasy leagues.

Philadelphia Phillies outfielder Bryce Harper (thumb) is likely to need surgery to fix his fractured left thumb, but the good news is that he plans to be back this year. Harper's thumb was broken on a pitch by San Diego Padres lefty Blake Snell last Saturday, and the Phillies put Harper on the injured list on Sunday. Last year's National League MVP was hitting a strong .318/.385/.599 with a .985 OPS, 15 home runs, 48 RBI, 49 runs scored and nine stolen bases, so this is a huge blow to the Phillies and fantasy managers alike. The Phillies are hoping that the 29-year-old superstar can return at the end of August, so fantasy managers will have to be very patient. Nick Castellanos should serve as the team's primary designated hitter with Harper out, while outfielders Matt Vierling and Mickey Moniak will likely split time in right field.

The Philadelphia Phillies officially placed outfielder Bryce Harper (thumb) on the 10-day injured list on Sunday with a fractured left thumb and recalled outfielder Mickey Moniak from Triple-A Lehigh Valley in a corresponding move. Harper fractured his left thumb when he was hit by a pitch on Saturday against the San Diego Padres, and he'll be out indefinitely. It's a tough blow for Harper and his fantasy managers. The 29-year-old has been playing most of this year as the primary designated hitter because of a right elbow injury, but it hadn't affected his swing, as he's hitting .318/.385/.599 with a .985 OPS, 15 home runs, 48 RBI, 49 runs scored and nine stolen bases. Harper needs to be stashed everywhere. Moniak will battle for playing time in center field with Odubel Herrera and Matt Vierling.

Philadelphia Phillies outfielder Bryce Harper (hand) is back in the starting lineup as the designated hitter and is batting third on Wednesday against Texas Rangers right-hander Jon Gray. Harper missed the last three games with an infected blister on his left hand, but he's back in his usual spot as the DH against Texas, so fantasy managers will want to get him back into their lineups. The 29-year-old slugger is hitting .326 on the season with 15 home runs, 48 RBI, 48 runs scored and eight stolen bases in 230 at-bats. He's a must-start when he's on the field. In the last two weeks, Harper has gone 16-for-39 (.410) with two home runs and seven RBI, so hopefully he can pick up where he left off.

Even though Harper has been dealing with injuries all season, he has put up other-worldly numbers once again this season. His .309/.391/.622 slash line closely resembles his MVP 2021 campaign, and he is once again in the running for the prestigious award.

Fantasy managers can thank the universal DH because he will continue to find his way into the lineup as long as he is healthy enough to hit.

Philadelphia Phillies outfielder Bryce Harper (elbow) is officially back in the starting lineup for Saturday's game against the Los Angeles Dodgers. He will be slotting in at designated hitter and batting third. Harper missed each of the team's last five games due to the right UCL sprain that's been hampering him for nearly a month now. He had initially been playing through the injury, and hitting extremely well. However, he had a PRP injection in his elbow this past weekend and the team kept him out of action in the following five games as he recovered from it. Fantasy manager can safely slide the Phillies star back into their lineups for Saturday's slate.

This will be Harper's fifth consecutive missed game due to the right UCL sprain that he initially suffered back in April. He'd been playing through the pain for awhile, but he received a PRP injection to treat his elbow this past Sunday and the team is being extra cautious with him following the injection.

Philadelphia Phillies outfielder Bryce Harper (elbow) remains out of the starting lineup on Thursday for the series finale against the San Diego Padres.

Realmuto is serving as the DH on Thursday and will hit fifth against Padres right-hander Yu Darvish.

Kyle Schwarber will be slotting in as the team's designated hitter for the game. Harper received a PRP injection in his right elbow on Sunday. The hope is that he will be back in the lineup very soon, but he won't be playing the field for quite a while. The doctor who gave him his PRP injection recommended for Harper to not throw for six weeks, meaning it won't be until late July at the earliest that he could be back in the field. Over 34 games on the year, the 29-year-old is slashing .305/.361/.634 with nine home runs, 27 RBI and 29 runs.
