As the Phillies scrap to maintain control of a playoff spot, one of their best players continues to inch his way back into the lineup.
Bryce Harper offered an update on his broken left thumb on Sunday, saying it felt at about “85-90%” strength, according to Alex Coffey of The Philadelphia Inquirer. The plan is for Harper to hit in the batting cage on Sunday, followed by a rehab assignment sometime in the middle of next week. The team is likely to send Harper to Triple A Lehigh Valley.
