Daily News | Phillies’ Bryce Harper says he might have to DH all season, but ‘Caveman’ is hot
won’t place Bryce Harper on the 60-day injured list as he recovers from elbow surgery because they hope he can return as their designated hitter before May 29, which would be the first day he’d be eligible to return, president Dave Dombrowski said Tuesday.
“When Bryce comes back he’s going to be the DH, at least until ... “ he trailed off. “I don’t know when he returns to the outfield.”AdvertisementJohn Middleton runs the Phillies like the fan he is. Dave Dombrowski lets him get away with it. “I don’t know. I think it’s too early to tell. I’m not sure the way I’m going to feel. Or when I’m going to start throwing,” Harper said. “The thing in the forefront of our minds is just me trying to get back in the lineup and DH as of now. As we progress, we’ll see what happens.”
Harper damaged his elbow in April, played through the injury as the Phillies’ DH most of last season, then in late November after fueling the run to the World Series. Initial projections pointed to a mid-July return, but Harper has responded so well to rehab that he might be back in the batter’s box by June.That includes regular batting practice with hitting coach Kevin Long. But he’s a long way from throwing a baseball from right field at 98 mph.Just returning to the lineup as DH by June might be ambitious, but not impossible.
