Phillies place Bryce Harper and Kyle Schwarber on Injured List
Losing one guy is extremely tough. Losing two can feel like an unfair nightmare. Philadelphia has been on a major roll all season as one of the juggernauts of the league this year. However, the team will now need to navigate quite a challenge. As the Phillies place Bryce Harper and Kyle Schwarber on the Injured List.
A real blow since Kyle is one of the most powerful leadoff hitters. And Harper is another power bat that is not just extremely entertaining to watch; but a real difference maker on offense. Harper also is a fan favorite who just secured yet another All Star selection thanks to fan voting. So then, his talent is clearly valued and appreciated by the Phillies franchise and baseball lovers all over the country.
But even as unfortunate as this turn of events is for the ball club. The Phillies team is still stacked. With Turner, Bohm, Marsh, Nola, Suarez and others all still playing very efficiently. So much so that the Phillies now stand with 54 wins under their belt. The most wins out of any franchise in the National AND American League. And that’s with winning a game with both Schwarber and Harper being MIA.

However, with Bryce Harper straining his left hamstring while running the bases in the ninth inning. And Schwarber straining his left groin while making a throw from left field in the eighth. The team’s focus right now is winning… and healing. They understand that to reach their goal of a championship after coming so close 2 years in a row; they need be healthy. With all the right pieces and players in place. Bryce spoke on this before Friday’s game against the Miami Marlins stating,
“Bummed to go on the IL. Never wanted that to happen, obviously. But it was the best decision for our team. Hopefully get back in the smartest way possible and quickest way as well.
I really don’t like putting timetables on myself. I’m going to try to get back and get my body intact the best way I can and the best way I know how and quickest way possible. Everybody’s bodies are different. I’m going to do my thing to get myself back.
I don’t want to put timelines on anything. I’m not that type of person. I want to beat every timeline out there.
[When it comes to keeping the wins coming it’s], Next man up mentality. We’ve done a great job of that all year long. Pony up, cowboy up, play the game.”
Exactly, play the game. And the Phillies have been playing hard all season with that hardcore mentality. Yes part of the game is talent, but the other part is confidence; and Philadelphia is not short in that in the least.
So then heal up fast Kyle and Bryce. Can’t wait to see you both back in action.
