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

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.

The Philadelphia Phillies placed All-Star first baseman Bryce Harper (hamstring) on the 10-day injured list on Friday with a low-grade hamstring strain, according to sources. Harper could be activated from the IL as soon as July 9, but the Phillies could pad his recovery by another 10 days with the All-Star break in mid-July serving as a natural buffer. Even though his injury isn't serious, losing the National League MVP candidate is a serious blow to the Phillies lineup, especially considering outfielder/designated hitter Kyle Schwarber (groin) was also put on the IL on Friday. Harper injured his hamstring on the final play of Thursday night's loss to the Marlins and hobbled off the field. He has hit .342/.429/.647 since May 1 and has been just as good in June. Obviously, fantasy managers need to keep him stashed everywhere. Kody Clemens (back) is expected to come off the IL and see most of the at-bats at first base against right-handed pitchers with Harper out.
