The Phillies called up Otto Kemp from Triple-A Lehigh Valley to replace Harper. Kemp, 25, is making his major league debut on June 7 against the Pirates. The non-drafted free agent had been one of the International League's top hitters this season, with 14 home runs, 55 RBIs, 11 stolen bases and a .313 batting average.

He is hitting .258/.368/.446 with nine home runs and 34 RBIs in 57 games for the Phillies. While losing his bat creates a hole in the middle of Philadelphia's lineup, ensuring Harper's health in the long run is surely more important for a team in contention.
