Philadelphia Phillies outfielder Bryce Harper (elbow) will not open the 2023 regular season on the 60-day injured list, according to president of baseball operations Dave Dombrowski. The Phillies can put Harper on the 60-day IL at any time, if needed, retroactive to Opening Day. It doesn't mean that he'll be back earlier than anticipated around midseason, but it keeps the Phillies' options open. The 30-year-old former MVP is recovering from Tommy John surgery on his right elbow and isn't expected to make his 2023 debut until near the end of the first half of the season, and he's unsure if he'll even play the outfield at all this year. Harper is still worth stashing in all fantasy leagues, and managers will be hoping he can pick up right where he left off last postseason at the plate.
Philadelphia Phillies outfielder/designated hitter Bryce Harper (elbow) hit off a tee in camp on Thursday, according to manager Rob Thomson. Harper will hit off a tee every other day for now as he progresses in his rehab from Tommy John surgery. The expectation is that Harper will be able to join the Phillies as their full-time designated hitter right around the All-Star break in 2023, but he might not be able to return to right field until 2024. The 30-year-old former National League MVP did plenty of damage at the plate last year while playing through his right elbow injury before having surgery in the offseason, so fantasy managers will be crossing their fingers that he can pick up where he left off when he makes his 2023 season debut this summer.
Philadelphia Phillies outfielder Bryce Harper (elbow) said he misses playing right field but has no idea if he'll be able to play in the outfield in 2023 after undergoing Tommy John surgery. He'll know more about his timeline for a return after he has a physical on Thursday. Harper is just now reporting to spring training with the team after having elbow reconstruction surgery last November. The 30-year-old former National League MVP is expected to return as the team's full-time designated hitter right around the All-Star break, but there's no guarantee that he'll be playing on defense in 2023. If he doesn't play the field at all, he'll lose his outfield eligibility in fantasy, which is something to think about for 2024.

For the second straight season, Philadelphia Phillies superstar outfielder Bryce Harper will miss significant time as the two-time NL MVP underwent off-season Tommy John surgery that will eliminate him from first-half action. Harper is likely to play exclusively at the designated hitter position upon his return, but whether he can get up to speed quickly is a concern. Of course, Harper is among the game's elite when healthy coming off a season in which he hit 18 home runs, produced 65 RBI, 63 runs, and 11 stolen bases, good for a 138 wRC+. It was a slightly below-average season by the 30-year-old's lofty standards, but it was clear the lingering elbow injury didn't hamper him at the dish. Streamer projects Harper to appear in 78 contests in 2023 with 16 HR, 50 RBI, 48 R, and seven SB with a 140 wRC+ that aligns with his career 141 mark. That said, his ADP has fallen to 106 given the murky injury outlook, but Harper could be stashed and act as an elite trade-deadline acquisition at no cost for the stretch run.
