Philadelphia Phillies' Bryce Harper returned briefly to the lineup but sat out Wednesday night due to a bruised left hand, following a prior hamstring injury. Manager Rob Thomson reported the injury occurred during Tuesday's game against the Dodgers. Despite his absence, the Phillies secured a 4-3 win, with Alec Bohm shifting to first base. Harper, boasting impressive stats, is a crucial player for the team, currently leading in various categories in the National League. The All-Star Game is still on his agenda, but his return remains uncertain. Furthermore, pitcher Zack Wheeler is also experiencing lingering back soreness but avoided structural damage. Wheeler's availability for the next game is still uncertain, potentially impacting the Phillies' performance. The team's health and key players' conditions will significantly influence their future games and performance in this baseball season.
