Mandatory Credit: Eric Hartline-Imagn Images Philadelphia Phillies star Bryce Harper left the team's contest Tuesday night against the visiting Atlanta Braves after being hit on his right elbow by a 95 mph fastball from Spencer Strider during the first inning.
The Phillies confirmed the injury as a contusion and said X-rays were negative. This is the same elbow that Harper surgically repaired two years ago. Harper has steered clear of any additional major injuries to his right elbow since the surgery.
Edmundo Sosa took Harper's spot in the lineup before sliding over to third base. Alec Bohm moved from third to first base beginning in the second inning.
The 32-year-old Harper has tallied eight home runs along with 33 RBIs this season. Harper is also second on the Phillies in OPS (.823).
