Bryce Harper's Stats, Metrics, Game Logs, Projections & Rankings

Philadelphia Phillies manager Rob Thomson said that first baseman Bryce Harper (hamstring) is doing drills at about 70-75 percent intensity. Although the All-Star break looms after next week's homestand, the Phillies won't hold Harper back from coming off the 10-day injured list if he's ready to return before the Midsummer Classic. The 31-year-old All-Star is eligible to come off the IL on July 9 after being put on the shelf as a precaution due to a left-hamstring strain. If Harper doesn't come off the IL before the All-Star break in mid-July, he should be back early in the second half for fantasy managers. The former first overall pick by the Washington Nationals in 2010 continues to be a stud at the plate, batting .303 (87-for-287) this year with 20 long balls, 58 RBI, four steals and 52 runs scored in 76 games.

Philadelphia Phillies first baseman Bryce Harper (hamstring) and outfielder/designated hitter Kyle Schwarber (groin) both hit in the batting cages on Tuesday at Wrigley Field before the game against the Chicago Cubs. Harper and Schwarber also did some jogging. "They're coming along," manager Rob Thomson said. "I don't think they're too far away. I don't know a date yet but we'll know in the next couple of days I would think." Harper and Schwarber were put on the 10-day injured list last Friday with minor injuries. They are first eligible for activation on July 9, when the team opens a six-game homestand against the Dodgers and Athletics that leads into the All-Star break. As long as neither left-handed sluggers have any setbacks, they should be back for fantasy managers before the Midsummer Classic.

Philadelphia Phillies first baseman Bryce Harper (hamstring) started doing some rehab work in the pool and the weight room prior to Sunday's game against the division-rival Miami Marlins, and manager Rob Thomson said that there's a "good chance" that he will return before the mid-July All-Star break. Harper is recuperating from a strained left hamstring, and it sounds like he should be able to the Phillies as soon as he's first eligible to be reinstated from the 10-day injured list on July 9. The 31-year-old superstar is slashing an MVP-caliber .303/.399/.582 with 20 home runs, 20 doubles, 58 RBI, and four stolen bases over 287 at-bats in 2024. Alec Bohm should primarily operate at first base while Harper is sidelined, opening up an everyday role at third base for Edmundo Sosa, who is worth watching in all fantasy leagues.
