Daily News | Phillies’ Bryce Harper: No pain throwing but focused on getting his ‘swing going’
In his first week of taking swings and throwing since getting three pins removed from his left thumb, Bryce Harper said he has felt pain-free. His priority is to get his swing going so he can get back in the“It’s been good,” Harper said on Thursday. “Being able to get the pins out kind of opened things up for me to do what I needed to to get through the week and then get into this next week. To prepare me to come back.
Harper said if he starts to feel pain in his thumb, he won’t hit. But as long as he feels fine, he’ll keep swinging. The removal of the pins in Harper’s left thumb also enabled him to start a throwing program. Prior to his injury on June 26, Harper had been the everyday DH after suffering a small tear in the ulnar collateral ligament of his right elbow. Because Harper bats left, he was able to continue hitting.Harper said he’s playing “light catch,” but said hitting is his main focus.
“I don’t feel it at all, pain wise,” he said. “But like I said, it’s such a lob toss, it’s kind of like I’m throwing wiffle balls to my kid, right? So I mean, it’s very easy. But not having pain is a big thing for me. You guys will know more once I scoot back and start letting it throw a little bit more. But like I said, it’s kind of on the back burner for me.
