The Philadelphia Phillies are facing the worst crisis. With just over 15 days left until the end of the first half of the season, hitters Bryce Harper and Kyle Schwarber were forced to leave the lineup due to injuries.노래방알바
MLB.com reported on Monday (Korea Standard Time) that Philadelphia Phillies Bryce Harper and Kyle Schwarber have both been placed on the 10-day injured list. Harper is suffering from hamstring and Schwarber is suffering from groin injury.
The Philadelphia Phillies suffered injuries to both of its key hitters in a showdown with the Miami Marlins on Friday. The first player to be injured was Schwarber. Schwarber had 75 hits, 17 homers, 49 RBIs, 60 runs batted in with a 0.250 OPS of 0.820 in 79 games this year, and was replaced by Brandon Marsh before he took the batter's box as the lead-off man in the bottom of the ninth inning when his team was losing 4-7 the previous day. The reason for this is that he complained of pain in the groin.
However, another unfavorable situation occurred after Schwarber was replaced as a pinch hitter. After taking the batter's box with two outs and no runners in the bottom of the ninth inning, Harper pulled the first pitch of Tanner Scott, who took the mound as MyCammy's closer, sent the ball to the second base, and ran towards the first base vigorously. As the ball was so deep, Harper ran to get to the first base faster than Scott entering the base cover. Before stepping on the first base, however, Harper's baserunning play made him feel uncomfortable.
He awkwardly stepped on the first base and held onto his left thigh. Then, he collapsed on the ground. After all, Harper was helped back to the dugout by a trainer. When asked about his physical condition after the game, he told a local media outlet, "I don't know. It's a pain I've never experienced before. It hurts. I'll have to see how I'm feeling tomorrow," signaling that both Schwarber and Harper were out of the game.
In particular, Harper, who has played in 76 games this season and is competing for the NL MVP with 87 hits, 20 homers, 58 RBIs, 52 runs scored and a batting average of 0.303 OPS of 0.981, enjoyed the joy of winning the most votes by beating Shohei Ohtani (Los Angeles Dodgers) on the previous day, and has been confirmed to play in his eighth All-Star game based on his strong fanbase. However, he suffered a hamstring injury in his last at-bat, and his participation in the All-Star game is uncertain now. The fact that the two main hitters left before the All-Star break is a bolt out of the blue.
According to MLB.com , manager Rob Thomson said, "We avoided the worst. Hopefully it would be 10-14 days. I don't think Harper and Schwarber will be separated for long. I think there's a chance that Schwarber and Harper will come back before the All-Star break." However, MLB.com pointed out that Harper has been placed on the 10-day injured list with left hamstring and Schwarber with left groin pain, but his condition could be much worse.
Philadelphia has enough leeway as it is leading the National League East by eight games, beating the second-ranked Atlanta Braves, but its main players' departure is certainly painful. "Philadelphia has 15 games left until the All-Star break," MLB.com said. "If Philadelphia does not recover as soon as it expects, they can use the four-day break as an additional recovery time."
As he and Ohtani are competing for the NL MVP title, Harper is committed to returning to the ground as soon as possible. "I don't want to set a timeline on anything. I'm not that kind of person," he said. "So I'll come back as soon as possible and in the smartest way."
