Bryce Harper, the Philadelphia Phillies outfielder and former National League MVP, is back on the field and swinging a bat again. After undergoing surgery to repair a torn labrum in his left shoulder in November, Harper has resumed batting practice and is on track to be ready for Opening Day.
Harper, who signed a 13-year, $330 million contract with the Phillies last March, was limited to 59 games in 2019 due to the injury. He hit .260 with 13 home runs and an .882 OPS in those games, but the injury was a major setback for the Phillies, who were hoping for a big season from their star outfielder.
The surgery was successful, and Harper has been working hard to get back in shape. He has been hitting off a tee and taking batting practice with the team since January. He has also been running and throwing, and is expected to be ready for the start of the regular season.
The Phillies are hoping that Harper can return to his MVP form in 2020. He is one of the most talented players in baseball, and his presence in the lineup will be a huge boost for the team. If he can stay healthy, Harper could be a major factor in the Phillies’ success this season.
Harper’s return to the field is great news for baseball fans everywhere. His talent and energy make him one of the most exciting players to watch, and his return will be a welcome sight for Phillies fans. With Harper back in the lineup, the Phillies could be one of the most dangerous teams in the National League this season.
