After Bryce Harper delivered a game-tying two-run double Friday night, a blister on his left hand near his index finger became infected. He's considered day-to-day.
WASHINGTON — Try as they might, the Washington Nationals couldn’t take the bat out of Bryce Harper’s hands in the eighth inning Friday night.Harper wasn’t in the Phillies’ lineup Saturday after a blister at the base of his left index finger flared up and became infected. He was getting treatment, including antibiotics, and is considered as day-to-day, according to interim manager Rob Thomson.
Harper went 3-for-4 with a walk in a 5-3 victory in the opener of Friday’s day-night doubleheader. He didn’t start the nightcap, although Thomson said it was a planned breather. Harper came up as a pinch hitter in the eighth inning and would’ve walked on four pitches. But home plate umpire Clinton Vondrak missed a ball-four call. Harper hit a game-tying, two-run double on the next pitch.
If Harper doesn’t play in Sunday’s series finale against the Nationals, the Phillies could give him three consecutive days off before opening a two-game series Tuesday night in Texas.Harper is batting .326 and slugging .622 with a .391 on-base percentage, 21 doubles, 15 homers, and 48 RBIs. Through Friday, he was tied with St. Louis’ Paul Goldschmidt for the league lead in extra-base hits .
