Bryce Harper Suffers Bruised Triceps After Hit by Pitch in Spring Training

The Phillies' star first baseman is not expected to miss time after being struck by a 92 mph pitch during Wednesday's game against the Blue Jays.

Bryce Harper was hit on his right arm by a 92 mph sinker from Blue Jays pitcher Richard Lovelady during the sixth inning of a spring training game.
The Phillies have diagnosed Harper with a bruised triceps and confirmed that no X-rays are needed, with manager Rob Thomson expressing minimal concern about the injury.
Harper, 32, left the game immediately and was replaced by a pinch runner, but he was already scheduled to have Thursday off and is not expected to travel with the team for the remainder of spring training.
This incident follows previous injuries Harper has sustained from being hit by pitches, but the team emphasizes that this situation does not appear serious.
The Phillies went on to win the game 9-6, with the sixth inning featuring a five-run surge shortly after Harper's exit.
