Philadelphia Phillies officially put outfielder Bryce Harper on the 10-day injured list on Sunday, broke his left thumb and recalled outfielder Mickey Moniak from Triple A Lee High Valley.
Harper was injured on Saturday when he took his 97 mph fastball away from San Diego Padres starter Blake Snell.
"Things happen for a reason, everyone says it. Harper said Phillies won 4-2 after the match." But at the same time, that's what it is. I have to be positive for everyone. I'm really confused by the organization, everyone, and the city of Philadelphia fans. I love playing every day. "
Throughout the season Harper, a two-time MVP who has fought against elbow ligament injuries, has hit .985 OPS, 15 home runs and .318 RBIs in 64 games.
The Phillies have revived the season from June 1st to 17-6, but are now cutting their jobs. On Sunday, they had only recorded a total of 11 runs in the last eight games they played without Harper.
The 24-year-old Moniak played nine games against the Phillies this season, hitting .160 with one RBI in 25 at-bats. In 38 career games over the last three seasons, he is a .139 batter with one home run and four RBIs.
