Philadelphia lost Bryce Harper “for an indefinite period of time” Saturday night with a fractured left thumb when he was hit by a 97-mph Blake Snell fastball during the Phillies’ 4–2 victory over the Padres in San Diego.
Harper fell to the ground in pain after getting hit in the fourth inning. He yelled at Snell as he was leaving the field, although the Padres pitcher was visibly apologetic. Minutes later, the Phillies announced Harper had suffered a fracture to the thumb.
