Bryce Harper was hit by a pitch on his right elbow during a game against the Braves and left the game, but X-rays showed no fracture, only a contusion. The injury occurred on the same elbow that required Tommy John surgery in 2022, and it's unclear how long he will be sidelined. Harper is a key player for the Phillies, who are leading the NL East.
X-rays on Celtics forward Sam Hauser’s left ankle were negative after he avoided serious injury when he stepped on the foot of a Wizards player, cutting short a potentially historic night as he was one 3-pointer away from tying the franchise record and four away from tying the NBA record of 14. His status for the next game is unclear, but he is not expected to be sidelined for an extended period, providing relief for the Celtics as they prepare for their championship chase next month.
Washington Commanders receiver Terry McLaurin has been diagnosed with a toe injury and will not return to the game. X-rays have come back negative, suggesting it may not be a long-term injury. McLaurin, who has had three consecutive 1,000-yard seasons, was injured during a reception in the first half and has not missed a game since the 2020 season.
