Bryce Harper seemingly avoided a major injury scare last week when he missed only five games after being struck on the right elbow by a 95 mph fastball from Spencer Strider. But now, there is concern over Harper's right wrist.

Bryce Harper was placed on the 10-day IL Saturday morning, retroactive to Friday, June 6th, with right wrist inflammation. Harper previously missed five games after being hit in his right elbow, and after returning for three in Toronto, he again sat out for the opening game in Pittsburgh.

He is hitting .258/.368/.446 with nine home runs and 34 RBIs in 57 games for the Phillies. While losing his bat creates a hole in the middle of Philadelphia's lineup, ensuring Harper's health in the long run is surely more important for a team in contention.
