Bryce Harper Battles Elbow and Wrist Injuries

Philadelphia Phillies star Bryce Harper has revealed that he has been dealing with elbow and wrist injuries throughout the 2024 season, which have significantly impacted his performance since the All-Star break. Despite these issues, Harper remains optimistic about his ability to perform in the postseason, emphasizing that such injuries are part of the game and he must push through them. Harper's elbow, which had Tommy John surgery in 2022, is not affected by the previous ligament injury, and his wrist has shown signs of improvement. His power numbers have notably declined, with only six home runs since July, but Harper continues to be a crucial player for the Phillies as they push for an NL East title. The team’s performance in the coming games will be critical in determining their playoff momentum and standing.
