Bryce Harper's Return Date Could Be Sooner Than Expected, Phillies Say.
Philadelphia Phillies outfielder Bryce Harper will not start the regular season on the 60-day injured list as he continues to recover from Tommy John surgery, according to team president Dave Dombrowski. While Harper's timeline has not changed, the team is keeping the option open to place him on the 60-day IL later. Harper's next step is to hit soft-tossed flips on back-to-back days, and he will travel with the team when the season begins.
