Phillies have announced that Bryce Harper was placed on the 10 -day injured list (retroactive on June 6) due to inflammation on the right wrist. Utility Otto Kemp If his contract had been selected from triple-a in a corresponding decision, and no transaction of 40 men was necessary because the phillies had only 39 men on their list of 40 men. Philadelphia also sent right -handers Alan Rangel to triple-a while calling straight Daniel Robert To provide a fresh arm to the enclosure of the lifts.
Harper did not play yesterday in the defeat of the pirates of the pirates, and the manager Rob Thomson told journalists (including Scott Lauber du Philadelphie Inquirer) that Harper had a day of rest to cope with a wrist problem that disturbed the first basic player “for a whileAs Thomson said. Lauber wrote that he did not know if this current injury is similar or a continuation of the right wrist problem that also harassed Harper during the 2024 season.
It was a raw stretch for Harper on the Health Front, because he was hit on the right elbow by a Spencer Strider Pitch on May 27, then missed the next five matches in Philadelphia. No passage it was ultimately necessary for this injury, although Harper had only one blow in 11 appearances on the plate after his return to the programming. Between the harp wrist and any persistent pain with its elbow, an appropriate placement seems to be a good idea to allow Harper to rest completely and to heal.
Harper strikes .258 / .368 / .446 with nine circuits out of 253 PA this season – good for a solid 129 WRC + but down the usual Harper superstar production levels. Although there is never a good time to get crazy on the elbow by a major league field, the painful Harper meeting with Strider came at a particularly inappropriate moment, because Harper had a .936 OPS during the 20 games before May 27.
With Harper unavailable or not hitting much, the Phillies struck a crisis last week, losing seven of their last eight games. Alec Bohm moved to play the first goal in the previous absence of Harper and Edmundo Sosa Played in the third goal, so it will probably be the most standard alignment for phils while Harper is on IL. Weston Wilson Could also take into account the image of the inner field if Utility Sosa spends more time in a daily role, and Kemp saw a lot of time at the start, second and third base (plus a handful of matches at the stop and in the outside) during its four seasons of a minor league.
Kemp will make his debut in major leagues each time he appears in a match for the Phillies, which marks a whole trip for a player who was not drafted in 2022. Philadelphia signed Kemp as a free agent after the recovery and he only improved when he increased this year in the ranks of minor leagues. The kemp, 25, strikes .317 / .417 / .602 with more than 264 triples in triple-a, and it leads the international league with 14 circuits.
This type of production is more than worthy of an overview of the MLB level, and Kemp also thinks of being part of the image of the third base while Harper is released. Like Bohm, Sosa and Wilson, Kemp is also a right -handed striker, so that does not make a smooth peloton situation. Since Kemp played a left field in Lehigh Valley, however, he could have a little time in the left field in place of the left Max Kepler If a south is on the mound.
