Bryce Harper left the Phillies’ game against the Braves after being hit on the right arm by a fastball from Spencer Strider in the first inning. He was diagnosed with a right elbow contusion, but X-rays were negative. Harper’s exit occurred with two outs in the first, causing immediate pain, leading to Edmundo Sosa replacing him, while the Phillies, who began the game with a 34-19 record, have seen Harper hitting .267 with eight home runs and 33 RBIs in 54 games this season.
