Philadelphia Phillies fans are in a dark place this morning and it all has to do with Bryce Harper and a devastating injury he suffered last night in the Phillies’ win over the Padres at Petco Park in San Diego.
In the top of the fourth inning Harper was hit in the thumb by a 97 mph fastball thrown by Padres pitcher Blake Snell. He was in immediate pain and was quickly diagnosed with a fractured thumb.
Harper, who will be out indefinitely, was emotional after suffering the injury but quickly settled down a bit and could be seen telling Snell that it was OK.
