Philadelphia Phillies star Bryce Harper is "grinding through" an elbow/wrist irritation, and he is hopeful for an October return, according to manager Rob Thomson
Harper has been dealing with the injury since late August, and it has caused him to miss several games.
Harper has been hitting .315 with 18 home runs and 65 RBIs this season, and he is one of the Phillies' most important players. The Phillies are currently in first place in the National League East, but they need Harper back in the lineup if they want to make a deep playoff run.
Harper is expected to undergo an MRI on his elbow this week, and the results of the MRI will determine the severity of the injury.
If the MRI shows that the injury is not serious, Harper could return to the lineup as early as next week. However, if the MRI shows that the injury is more serious, Harper could miss the rest of the regular season.
The Phillies are hopeful that Harper will be back in the lineup soon.
