Phillies Believe in Bryce Harper's Ability in Right Field: 'He Can Throw'
Bryce Harper is back in the outfield, and his ability to adjust will determine how far the Philadelphia Phillies can go.
The Philadelphia Phillies have been cautious about Bryce Harper's right elbow for the past four years. After the team traded for Luis Arraez, questions arose about Harper's surgically repaired elbow. Now that Harper is back in right field, the Phillies are not limiting his movements. Manager Don Mattingly stated that Harper can throw and there are no restrictions on his actions.
Harper, 33, trusts his body and is ready to contribute, potentially playing in over 120 games for the fifth time in six years. The Phillies are not restricting Harper's play because they need everything he can provide, as they are fighting for a playoff spot.
