The scuffling Philadelphia Phillies suffered a blow Saturday when they placed first baseman Bryce Harper on the 10-day injured list because of right wrist inflammation before their game against the Pirates.

The Philadelphia Phillies offered a concerning update on their franchise slugger, and it impacted another key member of their roster.

Bryce Harper was placed on the 10-day IL Saturday morning, retroactive to Friday, June 6th, with right wrist inflammation. Harper previously missed five games after being hit in his right elbow. After returning for three in Toronto, where he went 1-for-11 with five strikeouts, he again sat out for the opening game in Pittsburgh.
