Thursday is the first day Phillies designated hitter Bryce Harper is eligible to come off the 60-day injured list, but exactly when he will return is still in question.
Phillies interim manager Rob Thomson said Harper returning this weekend against the Pirates remains a “possibility,” but that it will depend on how the former NL MVP feels.
After a two-home run performance at triple-A Lehigh Valley on Wednesday night, many of his teammates were insisting he’s ready. But after the game, Harper indicated that he’d like to stick to the plan of spending most of the week at triple-A.
