Harper’s unavailability is a bit concerning, considering he received a platelet-rich plasma injection to advance the healing of his elbow over the weekend. This game will be his fifth straight absence, and the Phillies are just 1-3 over the previous four. The organization’s original consensus was to allow him to fill the designated hitter position, but those plans have gone awry.
Harper has a .301 batting average, a .361 on-base percentage, and an NL-leading .634 slugging rate in 34 games. Keep an eye on the team’s lineups throughout their weekend series with Los Angeles to see if he makes his return.
