PHILADELPHIA — Bryce Harper plans to return to the Phillies’ lineup sometime this week, after his right elbow remained sore enough Tuesday from Sunday’s platelet-rich plasma injection to sideline him for a second straight game.
But a timeline for his return to right field remains in question.
“I think we have a little ways to go,” said Harper, who is limited to being used as a designated hitter as his torn right ulnar collateral ligament prohibits him from throwing but does not bother him when he swings. “When we get to that point, you guys will all know. We’ll talk about it. We’re just not there yet.”
