Bryce Harper News
Philadelphia Phillies outfielder Bryce Harper (thumb) is likely to need surgery to fix his fractured left thumb, but the good news is that he plans to be back this year. Harper's thumb was broken on a pitch by San Diego Padres lefty Blake Snell last Saturday, and the Phillies put Harper on the injured list on Sunday. Last year's National League MVP was hitting a strong .318/.385/.599 with a .985 OPS, 15 home runs, 48 RBI, 49 runs scored and nine stolen bases, so this is a huge blow to the Phillies and fantasy managers alike. The Phillies are hoping that the 29-year-old superstar can return at the end of August, so fantasy managers will have to be very patient. Nick Castellanos should serve as the team's primary designated hitter with Harper out, while outfielders Matt Vierling and Mickey Moniak will likely split time in right field.
The Philadelphia Phillies officially placed outfielder Bryce Harper (thumb) on the 10-day injured list on Sunday with a fractured left thumb and recalled outfielder Mickey Moniak from Triple-A Lehigh Valley in a corresponding move. Harper fractured his left thumb when he was hit by a pitch on Saturday against the San Diego Padres, and he'll be out indefinitely. It's a tough blow for Harper and his fantasy managers. The 29-year-old has been playing most of this year as the primary designated hitter because of a right elbow injury, but it hadn't affected his swing, as he's hitting .318/.385/.599 with a .985 OPS, 15 home runs, 48 RBI, 49 runs scored and nine stolen bases. Harper needs to be stashed everywhere. Moniak will battle for playing time in center field with Odubel Herrera and Matt Vierling.
Philadelphia Phillies outfielder Bryce Harper departed Saturday's game after being hit by a Blake Snell fastball in the hand and has been diagnosed with a fractured thumb. He will undoubtedly be placed on the IL which is devastating news for Phillies fans and fantasy managers alike. The significance of the injury is unknown at the moment, but Harper will likely go through further imaging in the coming days to find out the severity. The two-time MVP was putting up another terrific campaign hitting .318 with 15 homers, 48 RBI, and nine steals through 64 games this season.

Philadelphia Phillies outfielder Bryce Harper's detractors seem to point to him never hitting 50 homers in a season as a failure and a reason not to draft him in fantasy. Thats almost as stupid as passing on him in the late second round, which is where he is currently going in drafts. Harper put up a .268/.420/.542 slash line in 2020 with 13 homers and eight steals in 58 games, which on a per-game basis was very similar to his first year for the Phillies in 2019 (35 homers, 15 steals and a .260/.372/.510 slash line). Consistency is an undervalued tool, and any concerns about Harper being susceptible to injury because of his playing style should be allayed with just 10 missed games in his last three seasons. Harper's run production may be dependent on the hitters around Harper, but he cannot do more himself. In 2020, Harper ranked in the 93rdpercentile for exit velocity, 92ndpercentile for hard-hit rate and the 97thpercentile for barrel rate. In leagues that count walks and on-base percentage, Harper elevates to a first-round pick, as his 20.1% walk rate was second best last year. It was the third straight year in which he ranked in the top 10 for walk rate. Even in standard leagues, Harpers consistency matches his production, and he is a perfect second-round pick (ADP 20) to build your roster around.
